United States Second Circuit

Summary judgment for defendants in challenge to New York law that permits New York City and Nassau County to set and collect a residential handgun licensing fee that exceeds the allowable fee collected in other parts of New York State, is affirmed, where: 1) New York City Administrative Code section 10-131(a)(2), which sets the current residential handgun licensing fee in New York City at $340, does not violate the Second Amendment; and 2) New York State Penal Law section 400.00(14), which allows New York City and Nassau County to set and collect a residential handgun licensing fee outside the $3-10 range permitted in other jurisdictions in New York State, does not violate the Equal Protection Clause.
