A federal appellate court ruled that New York\u2019s law banning firearms carrying under a so-called \u201cvampire rule\u201d violated the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the Supreme Court<\/span> struck down<\/span> New York\u2019s discretionary system for issuing concealed carry permits, Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul<\/span> signed<\/span> legislation enacting numerous restrictions on carrying firearms after<\/span> convening<\/span> a special session of the state Legislature. A majority of the three-judge panel from the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled that a provision requiring private property owners to post signs allowing concealed carry was unconstitutional.<\/span> (RELATED: Democrat Governor\u2019s Sprawling Gun Crackdown Hits Legal Wall Right Out Of The Gate)<\/b><\/p>\n

FPC WIN! The Second Circuit has struck down New York\u2019s private property default carry ban (also known as the \u201cVampire Rule\u201d), saying it violates the Second Amendment.<\/span> https:\/\/t.co\/HUHG2RhJuz<\/span> pic.twitter.com\/RB4nnUZmCh<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Private Property Provision, as applied to private property open to the public, does not fall within our Nation\u2019s historical tradition of gun regulations,\u201d the majority opinion<\/span> reads<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The law required private property owners who wished to allow concealed carry on the premises to clearly post signs indicating that carrying guns was allowed. In the statement announcing she had signed the legislation, Hochul said the intent was to allow property owners to decide whether to allow concealed carry, and also to inform the general public that concealed firearms might be on the premises, which was dubbed the \u201cvampire rule,\u201d based on the legend that vampires must be invited inside.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBecause many private property owners will likely not post signs indicating whether firearms are permitted or forbidden on their premises, rules like the ones promulgated by New York and Hawaii will effectively prohibit individuals from carrying firearms on any private property, even private property that is open to the general population,\u201d the majority wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n

United States Circuit Judge Steven Menashi of the Second Circuit, a Trump appointee, concurred with the decision that struck down the \u201cvampire rule,\u201d but added that he would also have struck down the restrictions on carrying in public parks, which the panel upheld. Democratic New York Attorney General Letitia James did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.<\/span> (RELATED: Blue State May Have Slipped Up While Defending Its Ammo Ban)<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe FPC Grassroots Army put a stake in the heart of New York\u2019s \u2018vampire rule\u2019 carry ban today. We\u2019ll keep fighting in this and other cases to eliminate unconstitutional bans on carry in public parks so people can defend their lives in these public places,\u201d Firearms Policy Coalition President Brandon Combs said in a<\/span> statement<\/span>, which FPC referred the DCNF to when reached for comment.<\/span><\/p>\n
