Does our information need correcting?

October 2023 Law Blocked: A recent legal restriction on the carrying of concealed firearms has been partially halted. This injunction, issued recently, prohibits the enforcement of this restriction in areas where alcohol is sold, private premises without the owner permission, and during public demonstrations. However, the judge has upheld concealed carry limitations in museums, healthcare facilities, parks, and mass transit centers.
