The city, however, isn’t leaving all of its gun control eggs in one legal basket. They like the way their law works to restrict gun owners and they’ve asked the state of New York to enact a new law that would allow it to maintain the same level of restriction on transporting a handgun even if they’re forced to ease or repeal the city law.

Gun Politics New York notes:

Legislators know they are likely to lose the NYC transport lawsuit so they have prepared a response in the form of A-7752 / S-6151.

As the Senate version states:

Premise licenses for firearms in New York State allow a license holder to possess a firearm in a specific location, either their home or place of work, the address of which is specified on the license. Recognizing that premise license holders may have a legitimate reason to transport their firearms to another location, either another premise where they have a license to possess a firearm, a shooting range, or a shooting competition, this bill seeks to clarify the ability of premise license holders to transport their firearms to and from locations where they may legally possess such firearm. In order to ensure that any transportation of firearms that occurs is done safely and responsibly, this bill requires that, during transport, such firearms must be kept in a locked container separate from the ammunition.
