I did read where it was...and have visited there myself several times. The last time I drove in there I did not see and was not stopped at any check point that searched my car or my person.
IMHO, despite their “ordinances,” a person would be crazy not to go in there capable of protecting themselves.
Normally, I would never reveal what I had with me unless I absolutely needed it. Seeing a little boy being mauled by a pit bull would qualify as such an occasion.
I totally agree with you. Going anyplace such as New York without firearm protection is inviting nothing but trouble. You are a braver man than I, though, to risk being caught and prosecuted by the LEOs there. I would never do it.
I think that that might be a felony. The consequences of that on my record would mean not being able to own or buy firearms. That’s something I would not want to happen to me.
Luckily, I have no desire to see New York City again. I was last there in 1976 or thereabouts.
