New York asked a federal appeals court to prevent an order overturning firearms bans in Times Square and other public places from going into effect.
State Attorney General Letitia James on Monday filed a motion with the 2nd US Circuit Court of Appeals to stay a lower-court decision issued last week that found many of the state’s gun restrictions unconstitutional. Such a stay would remain in effect while the state formally appeals the ruling.
