The NRA should be interested - this is clearly a case where a completely innocent, law abiding citizen is being singled out for simple gun possession absent any other crime. She's a model defendant.
If DC v. Heller has any teeth, this would seem to be the test case to challenge NYC.

The insanity of the hoplophobes cannot be overestimated.
They are like the people who faint at the sight of blood or spiders, beyond all reason.
Many years ago a couple with 2 boys, about 6 and 8, came in the store for paint. They picked the colors and I was mixing them and talking to the husband. The mother and kids were just looking around. All of a sudden she came charging by dragging a kid in each hand and ran out the door. The husband went after her to see what the problem was.
We had a large display of machetes, cane knives and axes, she saw them and didn't want her sons to see them! The husband actually asked me why we displayed things like that openly.
Can you guess where they were from?
It is just unmitigated Batcrap crazy!

That was a gross over-reaction on the part of NYPD and the rent-a-cop. Looks like another good reason for those of us in the Bible belt to avoid NYC, as if we needed one.I had an apartment in NY city for years and I always carried a snubby 38 {without a NY permit}.
I knew the legal risk, but in the last year I had my place in the city they set a record with 2,000 + gun murders in the city.
I decided that carrying was worth the legal risk.
The last time I was in the city I was carrying {went to see the Rocketts at Christmas a few years ago, had dinner and went to ground zero.
I would never go into that hell hole unarmed, and I rarely go back.
I would also not advising using a gun unless it was your absolute last resort to save lives, because you will go to jail.

New Yorks a fun city to visit - and also has enormous photographic potential. I enjoy visiting NYC from time to time. I have a sister there and I'm a theater geek.
But as much fun as I have every time I go, it's always good to get back home where things aren't so frenetic...and where we can carry guns.

There are 14 types of intelligence so she must be deficient in one or more of them.

I don’t know why anyone would voluntarily go to NYC.. It’s the s**thole of the US, it’s like Calcutta.

A responsible CHL holder checks the laws in the State to which they are traveling before they leave.
So you believe NYC law can trump the US Constitution?
Am amazed so many blame the victim of these unjust laws. This nonsense needs to be fought....stop blaiming the victims of these onerous "laws", for lack of a better word.

Out-of-state weapons have been used in a slew of homicides, including the murder of NYPD cop Peter Figoski on Dec. 12. Sources dont believe Graves intentions were sinister.
A 4th year medical student who voluntarily hands over her gun. Gee, ya think?
When I read stories like this, I swear to God I think this country is gone for Good.

Boy, there are a lot of idiotic posts on this thread. One poster called her a marone. Who is the dumb-bell? The 2nd Amendment trumps state attempts to restrict gun possession
Thank you! At least one person here gets it!
