New York governor Kathy Hochul is looking for creative ways preserve restrictions against carrying a handgun in public after the US Supreme Court struck down key portions of the state's gun-licensing and concealed carry laws.

Other options under consideration include adding new conditions to get a handgun permit, such as requiring weapons training.
