Times Square a gun free zone as new NY gun law goes into effect today

The new act limits guns in certain sensitive areas like schools, theaters, and government offices.

Anyone who already has a concealed carry permit and recertifies with the New York State Police is not required to complete the training. Signage will be posted along those boundaries and within Times Square saying guns are prohibited in the area. The locations will have to apply for and renew their status as a sensitive location every three years.

The state has already permitted firearms to be barred in the "area commonly known as Times Square," as part of its Concealed Carry Improvement Act, but officials left it up to the city to determine precise boundaries.NYPD officials say the department has a targeted education campaign, reaching out to licensed gun owners or applicants who will be impacted.

So only criminals can have a gun. And they don’t follow the law anyway.

Yea gun free zone area only cause of the tourist forget us New Yorkers!! That’s why I applied for a gun license it’s my constitutional right!! Lots of New Yorkers in the city don’t know that.

This means nothing

Criminals run NY thanks to GovKathyHochul and NYCMayor. Can’t wait for the day I can get out of here.

Hilarious. Like drug-free zones.

Forget bus loads of border crossers, Southern Legislators are going to be shipping tons of guns north just to create more violence and death.
