In more news from New York, a federal judge has blocked major portions of a state law restricting who can carry concealed firearms in public spaces. District Court Judge Glenn Suddaby ruled Thursday that New York’s attempts to bar guns from so-called sensitive spaces — including schools, libraries, museums and theaters — violated the constitutional right to carry a firearm for the purposes of self-defense. New York Attorney General Letitia James has promised to appeal Thursday’s ruling.
