Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds an exception to New York's sensitive-locations carry ban (Penal Law 265.01-e) for licensed judges, justices and support magistrates, expanding the ability to carry firearms in those places. It also reinforces state-level rules on where carry is allowed, consistent with the preemption-sanctuary topic. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
