The New York Police Department (NYPD) treats all instances of concealed carry as an illegal act until it can be proven otherwise, according to newly leaked documents obtained by Project Veritas.

New York is playing against a Supreme Court Ruling.

The Supreme Court of the United States overturned a New York gun safety law in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association v. Bruen on June 23. New York's concealed carry license law was struck down by the court as unconstitutional, LWV reported.

"The Supreme Court held oral arguments for Bruen in November 2021, with plaintiffs challenging the 100-year-old New York state handgun licensing law requiring individuals to show proper cause before they can be licensed to carry a concealed weapon in public. Plaintiffs argued that the law violates the Second Amendment. Defending the handgun licensing law, New York argued that the right to carry a weapon for self-defense outside the home is not absolute," the news outlet added.

On Wednesday, Governor Hochul announced new concealed carry laws passed in response to the Supreme Court decision to strike down the state's century-old pistol permitting process takes effect Thursday, September 1.

"In response to the Supreme Court's decision to strike down New York's century-old concealed carry law, we took swift and thoughtful action to keep New Yorkers safe," Governor Hochul said. "I refuse to surrender my right as Governor to protect New Yorkers from gun violence or any other form of harm. In New York State, we will continue leading the way forward and implementing common-sense gun safety legislation."
