In response to questions about recent gun legislation as it currently stands, we are providing the following information.
Recent gun legislation in NYS effective September 1, 2022 makes “NO CARRY” the default for private property unless deemed permissible by property owners. Property owners who allow concealed carry will have to disclose with signage indicating concealed carry is allowed on the premises.
**We have supplied an example that you can print out and display below.
Penal Law § 265.01-d Criminal possession of a weapon in a restricted location- Class E Felony.
A person is guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in a restricted location when such person possesses a firearm, rifle, or shotgun and enters into or remains on or in private property where such person knows or reasonably should know that the owner or lessee of such property has not permitted such possession by clear and conspicuous signage indicating that the carrying of firearms, rifles, or shotguns on their property is permitted or has otherwise given express consent.
