In a loss for the gunophobes more portions of NY firearms laws tossed. Someday they may learn.New Yorkers don’t need to disclose social media accounts to carry a firearm, federal court rules​
New Yorkers don’t have to give state officials a list of their social media accounts in order to apply for concealed carry permits, a federal appeals court ruled Friday, striking down portions of the Empire State’s 2022 gun law. 

The 261-page ruling, handed down by a three-judge panel on the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, also blocked New York from enforcing restrictions on carrying concealed firearms on private property that is accessible to the public, as well as restriction on carrying in houses of worship.

“Disclosing one’s social media accounts — including ones that are maintained pseudonymously — forfeits anonymity in that realm. Conditioning a concealed carry license on such a disclosure imposes a burden on the right to bear arms that is without sufficient analogue in our nation’s history or tradition of firearms regulation,” the judges wrote in their ruling, referencing a standard set by the Supreme Court in last year’s New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen case, which overturned the state’s century-old law restricting the carrying of concealed firearms.

These are the threads where @Blackvegetable  gets his *** handed to him, thereby inducing a glorious meltdown. 

And it is still extremely difficult to get a permit in NYC.

From a practical standpoint, how would that have been enforced anyway.  Set up a fake facebook account with a pseudonym.  Disclose it. Get your gun license.  Shut it down.  Or, just say "I don't do social media".

NYC goes above beyond.  The process is tedious and long.  It is assigned an investigator.  Depending on what permit you are getting it can take up to a year:

If you live with someone they have to fill out an affidavit.  They used to go out and interview your neighbors.  One thing that they did drop after the lawsuit was the need for a letter asa to the justification.

Close.  Getting a regular permit to buy a weapon is terrible.  Not like here in Va.  Walk in, and leave in 30 minutes with your purchase.  Or for a CCP pay your 50 bucks, show your proof of a safety class, and in a few weeks you have a permit.
