Tag: Gun-Free

As of today, September 1, NYC Times Square is officially a gun-free area. After local lawmakers banned firearms in the Crossroads of the World, cops are copying signs declaring Times Square’s gun-free status. At a City Council hearing on Tuesday focused on securing sensitive spaces after the Supreme Court gutted the state’s concealed carry handgun law, Robert Barrows, the NYPD’s executive director of legal operations, held up one of the signs that screamed “GUN FREE ZONE.”
