Provides for the confidentiality of applications for licenses for the possession of firearms.

The bill NY A02105 aims to keep applications for firearm possession licenses confidential. This means that personal information about individuals applying for these licenses would not be publicly accessible. The goal is to protect applicants' privacy and safety.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is essential for protecting the privacy of responsible gun owners. They believe that keeping these applications confidential will prevent potential harassment or discrimination against individuals who seek to exercise their Second Amendment rights.

Critics of the bill contend that confidentiality could hinder transparency and accountability in the licensing process. They argue that public access to this information is necessary to ensure that firearm licenses are granted appropriately and to prevent potential misuse of firearms.
