NEW YORK CITY, NY – Leaked documents from the New York Police Department (NYPD) indicate that anyone carrying a firearm is now presumed guilty until proven innocent.
New York's new concealed carry law, which will allow gun-free zones all around New York City and throughout the state, will be challenged in state and federal courts, former City Commissioner Brian Andersson said. https://t.co/eN87zTsziA

The new guidance highlighted in the leaked memo proves that almost anywhere in New York City — public or private — is a gun-free zone.
It basically states that unless someone is a police officer or a former cop, no one can bring their legal firearm out of their house for protection, like on public transportation.
The memo, titled New York State Restrictions on Carrying Concealed Firearms, states very clearly in its “key points”:
“Anyone carrying a firearm is presumed to be carrying unlawfully until proven otherwise.”
The other “key points” are listed below:
Possessing a firearm in New York City requires a special license issued by the New York City Police Department;
Carrying a firearm in New York City requires a concealed carry license issued by the New York City Police Department;
License holders are required to carry their license when carrying a firearm and must provide their license to law enforcement upon request; and
Recent changes in law do not impact the way officers conduct investigative encounters. Officers may stop an individual when the officer has reasonable suspicion that an individual is carrying a firearm (Level 3) and may frisk that individual since the officer has reasonable suspicion that the individual is armed and dangerous.
The memo also describes what are to be considered “sensitive” and “restricted” locations throughout the city. According to the memo:
“Even though a person may be licensed to carry a firearm, they may not bring a firearm to a ‘sensitive’ location … All private property (residential and commercial) that is not on the sensitive location list is considered ‘restricted.’ People who are licensed to possess firearms may not bring firearms to a restricted location unless they get permission from the property owner.”
