It looks like they want to actually define what the shoddily written law does not, what is times square and what is its boundaries.
"§ 10-184 Times Square sensitive location zone. a. For the purposes of paragraph (t) of subdivision 2 of section 265.01-e of the penal law, the area commonly known as Times Square means and includes the following two tracts: (i) the tract in Manhattan including and bounded on the west by the west side of Eighth Avenue, on the south by the south side of West Fortieth Street, on the east by the east side of Sixth Avenue, and on the north by the north side of West Fifty-third Street; and (ii) the tract in Manhattan including and bounded on the west by the west side of Ninth Avenue, on the south by the south side of West Fortieth Street, on the east by the east side of Eighth Avenue, and on the north by the north side of West Forty-eighth Street. For the purposes of such paragraph, the area commonly known as Times Square does not include the interior of any building or other enclosed structure; provided, however, that such a building or structure may otherwise constitute a restricted or sensitive location pursuant to section 265.01-d or 265.01-e of the penal law."

So now in and around isa sensitive place? So what’s a sensitive place defined as? Is it in and around other areas now so you can’t carry anywhere at all?

SCOTUS needs to smacks all of this down and say in order to be a "sensitive zone" you need controlled access.

Without guards and metal detectors a gun free zone is just a suggestion.

 

[Bigfoot]

It would be safer to be at the O.K. Corral.
At least there the criminals aren't the only ones with guns on them.

Criminals got to just love NY. If I were a violent criminal NY is the place I would want to be.

Note to self: Don't go to Times Square. Ever.

Hell, never to NYC.

Is that a jar of pickles in front of the masked person.

Giuliani cleaned up Times Square without this feel good BS. That lady should be arrested for pointing that gun picture at the masked sheep.

The Big Apple Gun Free Zone

This quote comes to mind...

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

Just sayin'

Should really only be government buildings and courthouses. All services should be offered remotely except court cases. With zoom now and online availability of things there is almost nothing or nothing at all that would force me to go to a government office. Courts I get and your may need to appear in person. Both of these generally fit your definition of a sensitive pace as well.

My definition was meant as a minimum requirement.

No location can be declared sensitive without controlled access. That's just common sense.

That's not to say that's all you have to do to have a sensitive area, just that no area can be sensitive without that.

 

[fresch]

Sensitive area:
Military past the civilian authorization.
Prison
Jail
Places past normal civilian authorization, nuke plants, sewer plants, train station, plane station ,etc, the rest is normally open to all people.

 

[togmaster]

They can kiss my sensitive area.

 

[livingston]

I want surveyors measurements on what areas we cannot go into with a clear boundary markers. ... If one is to be charged with a felony none of this down this street and on this road.

 

[Cooolone]

So somehow or another with ignorance not being an acceptable defense for violating the law, they'll define a bazillion boundaries as sensitive zones which prohibit 2A! Even, regular populated and visited zones such as Times Square NYC... And you'll be required to know them absent any posting or signage! BUT, if you want to allow the exercise of 2A, you'll need to have POSTING AND SIGNAGE!!!

Fucking reverse logic if you ask me! What bullshit...

 

[dsdmmat]

All sensitive areas should be marked with yellow tape and flashing red and blue lights to warn people they might get their feelings hurt by criminals who don’t give a fuck.

Oh and most always are placed around chalk outlines.

 

[Uninformed and Compliant]

Should really only be government buildings

Kinda thinking these politicians have proven that govt buildings are that LAST place to prohibit the public from carrying weapons.

 

[Acer-m14]

a bill banning all people in Times Square would have been more effective .. LOL

Bingo!

Gun control laws are simply OSHA protections for violent criminals.

I've been to Times Square. Yes, during the "ball drop".

It's not anywhere close to as exciting as they try to claim it is.
Crushed up against the police barriers by a huge crowd of people who all start shouting "bum rush!".

Naw, fuck that crap. I'd much rather be out in the woods with friends during the New Year celebration. Popping tops and fireworks.

Jeepers this is like #PedoPete 's crack/cocaine Bill/Law.

Holy crap!

Our unelected governor just took it upon herself to create geographic zones where law-abiding citizens will have their constitutional rights nullified.

Pure hubris! A local government telling business owners that they cannot possess firearms for their own protection on their own private property. Wow!

 

[Dr. Evil]

First guns. What's next? Which arm does the tattoo go on?
