NYSRPA, other plaintiffs file SAFE Act appeal – A week after a federal judge in western New York upheld most of Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s SAFE Act, plaintiffs including the state Rifle and Pistol Association have filed an appeal of the ruling.  An appeal — whether from NYSRPA or the Attorney General’s office, which defended the case — was expected. The case now gets kicked up to a higher federal appeals level.
