Allows certain firearm licensees to open carry

This bill expands the existing firearm license in New York State to permit open carry of a firearm, in addition to the current allowance for concealed carry. It directly affects individuals who already hold a valid license to carry a concealed weapon, removing the previous restriction that limited them to carrying only when concealed. The law explicitly states that these licensees may carry their firearms openly regardless of their employment status or location, provided they comply with existing state and federal regulations. The changes are set to take effect on November 1st of the year following the bill's enactment, with rules and regulations updated accordingly.
