The high fee New York City charges for a residential firearm permit does not violate the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit ruled Tuesday.

The decision in Kwong v. Bloomberg, 12-1578-cv, upheld the city’s $340 licensing fee charged under Administrative Code §10-131(a)(2), affirming a ruling by Southern District Judge John Koeltl. Counties outside the city, other than Nassau County, charge between $3 to $10 for a firearm permit.
