First Circuit Upholds Maine's Gun Waiting Period; Judge Tosses Concealed Carry Suit Against NYPD

April 9, 2026 · 51 min

About this episode

The episode discusses a First Circuit ruling on gun waiting periods and a lawsuit dismissal against the NYPD.

Contributing writer Jake Fogleman and I cover a new ruling out the First Circuit Court of Appeals which held that waiting periods for gun sales do not even implicate the Second Amendment. We also discuss a New York federal judge's recent decision to toss a lawsuit filed by a licensed concealed carrier who was wrongfully arrested by NYPD officers who were unfamiliar with the city's gun laws.
