The state\u2019s newly revamped process for screening pistol permit applicants contains a controversial twist: Social media accounts will soon become fair game for investigators.<\/p>\n<p>After the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated a key feature of the state\u2019s licensing process earlier this year, New York legislators scrambled to lengthen the requirements for obtaining a permit.<\/p>\n<p>Applicants will soon have to disclose to licensing officials \u201ca list of former and current social media accounts,\u201d going back three years. This information will be used to determine an applicant\u2019s \u201cgood moral character,\u201d a prerequisite to obtaining a firearms permit.<\/p>\n<p>New York Assemblyman Robert Smullen has been working to answer some of the many questions for concerned citizens. Smullen said hundreds turned out recently for a public forum looking for guidance.<\/p>\n<p>Signed into law July 1st, the law expands eligibility requirements for those seeking a concealed carry permit, implements new safe storage requirements for firearms, allows the state to conduct background checks for anyone purchasing ammunition, and restricts weapons in sensitive locations.<\/p>\n<p>But some argue those locations need to be more specific.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThese are good law- abiding citizens who obey the law and they didn\u2019t know that this was coming. And then now that they\u2019ve learned the truth about it, uh, they\u2019re actually, they\u2019re outraged about the entire thing\u201d said Smullen.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>So, with less than a month away from the new restrictions, Smullen says there is a distinct possibility that some of the new provisions will be put on hold thanks to the multiple lawsuits that have already been filed. Once again, the 20 million New Yorkers who want their freedoms protected, are pawns in a political drama scene that must end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caitlin Sinclair \u2013 OAN National CorrespondentUPDATED 1:18 PM PT \u2013 Friday, August 19, 2022 The Concealed Carry Improvement Act in New York State, which will take effect on Sept. 1,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":79,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1616787","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1616787","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/79"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1616787"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1616787\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1616787"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1616787"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1616787"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
