In NYork, impossible. Unless you are elite, celebrity, or politico — or any of the guards they hire to protect them in the ‘Ellhole that is NY.
What caused this was a phrase “may permit” in the law — as in when we bloody well feel like it (or you give us $$) we may give you a permit to carry. My understanding is that a dude in NYC wanted to take his gun to a shooting range. But, it is illegal in NYC to take a gun out of your house unless you have a carry permit — see previous.
He recognized this as asinine and sued.
So, instead of having the opportunity to give permits out to folks who might actually need it, NY (& the other 5 or so states) may now not deny a permit to any US citizen to “bear arms” (as noted in BORights).
The states just got screwed.
Ha ha ha.
So what is the issue?
Carrying a weapon in the first place?
Carrying it out in the open where people can see it?
Blending into the woodwork with a weapon you are carrying on your person and can quickly draw and point, but that otherwise most if not all people have no idea you are carrying?
Why the fuss about “concealed” carry. Is that the only way to carry, and thus protect yourself against unexpected assaults, practically speaking?
Sorry to be so thick but I can’t keep up with all the ways Constitutional rights are drained of all value.
But you still need a permit, right? And hopefully they don’t purposefully muck that up. 🤬
