Allows certain firearm licensees to open carry

This bill (S 2021) amends New York's penal law to allow licensed firearm holders to carry firearms openly - meaning visibly outside a holster or bag - without restrictions based on their job or location. It directly affects individuals holding valid concealed carry licenses, expanding their existing permit to include open carry options. The key change removes previous limitations tied to employment or possession location, while still requiring compliance with all state and federal firearm laws. The amendment takes effect November 1st following enactment.
