In a Feb. 6 decision in Tessler v. City of New York, 108215/09, Supreme Court Justice Lucy Billings upheld the constitutionality of city and state requirements that guns be locked securely, but she ruled that to interpret the rules to mean guns must be locked unloaded and apart from their ammunition could infringe on a gun owner's rights.
The suit was brought against the city and its police department by Akiva Tessler, a Staten Island attorney. According to the decision, Mr. Tessler called the police in August 2007 to report that his wife was attacking his daughter. His wife was arrested and charged with third-degree assault.
While inside Mr. Tessler's house, police found two guns in an unlocked cabinet, one of them loaded. Mr. Tessler said his wife had deliberately unlocked the cabinet and told the police where to find the guns. The police confiscated the guns and issued Mr. Tessler an appearance ticket for "failure to properly safeguard" a weapon.
Although a Manhattan judge has rebuffed two constitutional challenges to New York City's gun licensing law, she found that the police interpretation of parts of the law could deprive New Yorkers of their Second Amendment rights.

NY has a law that guns have to be locked up?
What a tyrannical shit hole, I'm stunned anyone that cares about the Constitution lives there.

why shouldn't they be locked up?
THAT is the wrong question.
The proper question is; Why is there a law forcing people to lock their guns?
It's the right to bear arms, not the right to bear arms except

well, we're going to have disagreements about the extent of the right. but i know that in NYC, when you have a target/premise and you have the guns at home, they have to be locked in a gun safe with the ammo separate.
i don't know what the rules are regarding carry permits.

All I know is..the less guns around here..the better.

part of me agrees. part of me thinks someone should have been on the LIRR with a legitimate right to own a gun when Colin Ferguson started shooting people and should have blown him off his feet when he went to re-load.
plus, my husband and son love recreational shooting (i mean targets, trap shooting, that type of thing) so i don't really have any particular aversion to it. i just don't get the obsession of some. i mean there are people on this board who define themselves by their guns. i think that's just plain nuts.

Then you will end up with gun violence escalating and no way for you to keep your family safe.

i don't believe that has ever been proven to be the case.
If there are kids in the house under a certain age ( say 8) then weapons should be secured, otherwise the weapon is absolutely useless if locked up with out even ammo with it. Or do you think criminals will wait while you unlock your gun case pull out your gun and then find the ammo to load it?

What good is a weapon if you have to run to another room, fumble with a key, open a cabinet before you can defend yourself from potential harm?
[T]he Districts requirement (as applied to respondents handgun) that firearms in the home be rendered and kept inoperable at all times makes it impossible for citizens to use them for the core lawful purpose of self-defense and is hence unconstitutional.
