Federal Judge Declares Key Parts of New York Gun Law Unconstitutional
---------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
