NEW YORK, June 23 (Reuters) – After their state restrictions on carrying concealed handguns were struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court Thursday, top officials in New York and California said they were working to limit what they see as damage to their efforts to reduce gun violence.<\/p>\n
New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat who called the ruling “very disturbing,” said her state had been prepared for it and will pursue conforming gun-licensing policies, including measures defining “sensitive places” where guns would be barred.<\/p>\n
Democratic leaders in California, the most populous state, had readied legislation in anticipation of the decision and said they would now rush through the most restrictive rules allowed under the Supreme Court’s ruling.<\/p>\n
Gun rights enshrined in the constitution are embraced by many Americans, with Republicans more likely than Democrats to criticize attempts to limit ownership as undermining citizens’ ability to protect themselves.<\/p>\n
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat and former police captain, predicted that more disputes would boil over into violence once it becomes easier to carry a gun around the city of more than 8 million people, the country’s most populous.<\/p>\n
“This decision has made every single one of us less safe from gun violence,” Adams said at a news conference. “The decision ignores the shocking crisis of gun violence every day engulfing not only New York but engulfing our entire country.” […]<\/p>\n
The Supreme Court for the first time ruled that the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment, which protects the right to “keep and bear Arms” and was ratified in 1791, secured an individual right to carry weapons in public for self-defense.<\/p>\n
The court’s conservative majority ruled that New York state’s system for issuing concealed-carry permits only to people who could prove they had “proper cause” was unconstitutional.<\/p>\n
In California, where a law had required permit-seekers to show “good cause,” state Attorney General Rob Bonta said he recognized that provision was no longer constitutional.<\/p>\n
But “the court did not disturb California’s longstanding efforts to prevent dangerous individuals from attaining these permits,” Bonta said.<\/p>\n
He said legislation filed in anticipation of the ruling will now be edited to closely hew to the Supreme Courts’ guidance on who could be denied a concealed carry permit and where concealed weapons could be banned, such as schools, courthouses and polling places.<\/p>\n
Californians also are proposing making “an assessment of dangerousness” part of the review of applicants for concealed carry permits.<\/p>\n
“The assessment is going to be robust, including looking at arrests, convictions, restraining orders, and other publicly available information that might suggest that a person poses a danger to themselves or to others,” Bonta said. […]<\/p>\n

Today’s Supreme Court Decision<\/h3>\n
The El Dorado County Sheriff\u2019s Office is aware of today\u2019s Supreme Court ruling regarding the carrying of concealed firearms in the State of New York. It is not anticipated this Supreme Court decision will substantially change the process, or the issuance of a Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) permit in El Dorado County. The El Dorado County Sheriff\u2019s Office currently accepts personal protection or self-defense as good cause to qualify for a Concealed Carry Weapon, and it appears only the requirement of good cause will be eliminated.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
While we are still reviewing and researching the Supreme Court ruling and the impact it will have on California law, it appears there will be no significant impact of the processes in El Dorado County. To obtain a CCW in El Dorado County, a resident will still be required to be of good moral character, not be prohibited from possessing firearms and must fulfill all other legal requirements, such as mandated training, as dictated by California law.<\/div>\n
.<\/div>\n
\n
At the same time, we are monitoring any changes in law the California State Legislature may be working on in response to the Supreme Court’s ruling.<\/p>\n
