and you are surprised by this. i'd believe anything about NY,CT & the other northeastern states (except VT, which has NO statewide "gun control laws";you can carry concealed in VT without a permit!!!) Not at all surprised. Simply wistful.
My family has lived in NY for centuries (most recent branch arrived 1850, I think)...yet neither I nor my siblings are there niw.
I'm in self-imposed exile, partly because I'd be considered a Dangerous PersonTM if I went back with my possessions.
actually, i'm surprised that they allow me to COME TO "knewyurk", as they DESPISE freedom & the BOR.
