Not sure yet on the level on non-compliance, but it's a start. We need more LE to take a stand...kudos to Bath.

Bath Police Department said they won't enforce new NY concealed carry law

In a Facebook post on Friday, the Bath Police Department has announced it will not enforce New York's new concealed carry laws in some public places in the village.

So the grey shirts will be called instead of local LEO. When Commissioner Bruen says the NYSP won’t enforce I will start paying attention. Until then it is just political posturing, IMO, don’t mean a thing.

No. Let's not get this twisted..

They said they will not enforce that one specific location. The rest they will arrest you for and send to the DA

Agreed. As I said, it's a start. It's something to watch to see if it evolves. These statements should always be taken with a grain of salt - are they flat out calling the law un-Constitutional or are they dog whistling for more money? Some Sheriffs called out unSafe as unConstitutional while others P&M about lack of resources.

It sounds like in Bath they are throwing it in district DA's court for instructions, so are DA's as confused as everyone else? I'm sure the DAs don't want to be on the losing end of cases because of bad law. Like any politician they will worry about the fallout come election time.

Others will be doing the same, just as with the safe act

I assume they will as it gets closer to September and if they still lack direction from Albany. I seem to recall with unSafe, the opposition was a bit more forthcoming. Right now I think LE, DAs, Judges and Clerks are all looking for direction but keeping quiet while the lawsuits play themselves out. That way they don't have to risk voicing a position...cowards.

What's interesting in this case is that Bath LE has drawn a line in the sand in terms of enforcement and tossed it to the DAs to make the call on moving that line. If the DAs don't feel they have the direction they need or legal standing to win cases, that just may happen. As I said above "DAs don't want to be on the losing end of cases because of bad law. Like any politician they will worry about the fallout come election time."

This sentence from Bath Police - "Many other locations forbidden for concealed carry in the new law will be referred to the District Attorney’s Office for prosecution instructions prior to arrest." - how does that work? Doesn't seem to be something they can do on an individual basis. I think that makes this an interesting case to watch.

This is all just bad law written for political grandstanding, so FUKH could distance herself from her previously held 2A position. And the idiots in the legislature went along with it.
