October 11, 2022, 12:32 PMNew York City Mayor Eric Adams signs two bills designating new boundaries of a Times Square sensitive location and prohibiting concealed carry permit holders from bringing their firearms into the Times Square sensitive location, Oct. 11, 2022, in New York.

The law defines the boundaries of the Times Square sensitive location and authorizes the NYPD to implement it.
