Great, they are going to sue to get guns to be allowed in time square? How about all the other places they are banned. I’d image they’d get more bang for their buck that route.

I'd rather see them sue to let upstate permit holders carry in NYC.

There’s a lot of better lawsuits. Challenging restricted and sensitive areas and what you said.
I guess at least they are doing something but time square? Come on.

This is how you set up those other challenges. Win this, and it sets up other areas.

Just because they took it away in one big bite doesn't mean that's how we get it back.

Bitch all you want. FPC and GOA are the ONLY NO COMPROMISE organizations fighting for your rights in PRNY. Step up.

Isn’t FPC the goofy one and only sure on behalf of their members so you have to be a member at the time to enjoy the rights won back? If so I do not like that. Didn’t one judge then ask for a list of members to apply the rights they won back to those individuals only?
Also, I don’t disagree with what you said but if it’s a sensitive place why can’t they include others in the lawsuit under the same or similar logic?

If you're going to file a major lawsuit, you have to have multiple, articulate arguments with standing (that means the plaintiffs were/are effected)
When NYSRPA went after NYC it took years to find plaintiffs who met the criteria and were willing to go the distance while setting up and presenting the Case, and if you'll recall the first time around, the State tried to make the case moot by effecting meaningless changes to the Laws, but the Judge saw through that ploy and squashed it...many times, the complaints sound silly, or irrelevant, even questionable if the law isn't a good idea, well it's about Rights and reigning in Government over reach...Remember, the Second isn't about the Right of the People to Keep Arms, it's about preventing the government from taking them.
