    I can't find anything other than a mention in courthouse news, that the carry training requirement in New York is being challenged in court.

    Jonathan Corbett, who applied for a license before law was passed, argued the state’s 18-hour training requirement is unnecessary and extensive, saying "if there is a training regimen in this country that is excessive, this is the one."

    According to the law, applicants must do 16 hours of firearm safety training covering safe storage requirements, state and federal gun laws, and situational awareness, among others. The other two hours involve live fire training.

    “These are things that don’t take 16 hours,” Corbett said, representing himself. “If there was something that could be conveyed within these 16 or 18 total hours that would protect the public my position would probably change. But I don’t think that it’s there.”


    Can anyone else dig a little deeper to find out more about the case?

    A quick GooGoo search indicates this is at least the third 2A case he has filed against NY/NYC.

    Yea, I've heard the name before and I think he challenged the "need" statute right before SCOTUS struck it down.
