GOA & GOF, ON BEHALF OF CARL HIGBIE, FILED A MOTION OF SUMMARY JUDGEMENT IN NY TO EXPAND VICTORY FROM NYC

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

January 24, 2025 

Washington, D.C. — Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF), on behalf of Carl Higbie and two other plaintiffs, have filed a motion for summary judgment aimed at expanding nonresidents’ access to concealed carry permits across the entire state of New York—shattering the current barriers that confine such access to New York City. 

Erich Pratt, GOA’s Senior Vice President, issued the following statement:  

“Our rights, protected by the Constitution, aren’t up for debate—period. Overreaching law enforcement agencies don’t get to decide otherwise. GOA and GOF are relentless in defending our members and the freedoms they hold dear. Make no mistake: anti-gun states can either fall in line, or we’ll make sure they do.”   

Sam Paredes, on behalf of Gun Owners Foundation, issued the following statement:  

“New York prides itself on having some of the toughest gun laws in the country—but we’re here to say: enough is enough. We won’t stop until every American can fully and freely exercise their rights. It’s time to stand up to this tyranny and ensure New Yorkers and all Americans are free from the grip of these tyrants.” 

GOA spokesmen are available for interviews. Gun Owners of America is a nonprofit grassroots lobbying organization dedicated to protecting the right to keep and bear arms without compromise. GOA represents over two million members and activists. For more information, visit GOA’s Press Center.
