NEW YORK (AP) — A federal appeals court is allowing New York to continue enforcing its new gun law as it considers a lower court ruling that would block key provisions.
The decision Wednesday from the 2nd Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals came six days after a federal judge in Syracuse declared multiple portions of the law unconstitutional and placed a temporary hold on them. The state promptly appealed.
The ruling puts a hold on U.S. District Judge Glenn Suddaby’s order until a three-judge appeals panel can make a decision on the state’s motion.
