Federal Judge Issues Permanent Injunction Against NY Public Housing Gun Ban
A federal judge in New York issued a permanent injunction against the Cortland Housing Authority (CHA), barring any firearms ban on CHA properties. The case, led by the Second Amendment Foundation (SAF) alongside three plaintiffs—Robert Hunter, Elmer Irwin and Doug Merrin—was ruled by U.S. District Judge Glenn T. Suddaby in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of New York. In his order, Judge Suddaby emphasized that CHA and its affiliates cannot restrict tenants from owning or carrying firearms, as long as they follow federal, state and local firearm laws.
