The Issue: The arrest of a Tennessee woman after she inadvertently brought a gun to the 9/11 Memorial.
The arrest of Meredith Graves highlights the absurd disconnect from prevailing national firearms policy that reigns in New York City (“Hold Your Fire,” Dec. 30).
The majority of states guarantee the right of law-abiding citizens to carry firearms for self-defense.
Graves mistakenly believed that New York would protect her basic rights but instead was met with a felony criminal complaint, thanks to our mayor and his neurotic fear of firearms.
Graves’ arrest is a disgrace, and the same can be said of our mayor and City Council, who perpetuate restrictive and worthless laws designed only to keep honest people unarmed.

A Barry Switzer moment for Meredith.
Never speak to a police officer unless you are reporting a crime.
Do not volunteer personal information.
If you carry concealed, keep it that way. Minimize any knowledge of your firearm among family/friends....you never know when a drunk friend/family member is going to blurt out you have a gun.
I do believe she should have had this information before leaving her home state.
that being said....NYC and to an even greater extent, NJ are by their actions guilty of defying the 2nd amendment to the US Constitution...and if we had a decent US Attorney General, there would be investigations and arrests of these criminals...one criminal I would arrest would be Mayor Bloomberg of NYC....he defecates on the Constitution, not just over the 2nd amendment, but the 1st and Lord knows how many other amendments. You cant put salt or trans-fats in the food you sell...thanks to Bloomberg.
my pre-written response to all things Bloomberg:
Bloomers is a Crony-capitalist, nebbish, poor little rich boy, self hating jew, tiny buttwipe of a man...the only reason he is probably not a fag (the jury is still out) is that he has the greatest aphrodisiac of all time, billions of dollars....he decries the 2nd amendment, but whines about how the enemy’s first amendment rights to worship are being usurped....even though Islam is NOT a religion but a murder cult.. © Vaquero 2010-2011
Another argument for OC.
The more people who see guns on the hips.of law abiding people, the more obvious to all this abomination will be.
She probably should contact as a first step.
John S. Chambers — a 2A lawyer in New York.
Though he looks like just a permit specialist.

Unless there is a specific open=carry provision, most concealed permist require you to keep it concealed so nobody knows you have it. Mississippi demands it remain fully concealed despite also having a useless open carry law. The law says you can open carry without a permit, but courts have determined that even a minimal holster conceals at least part of the weapon and makes it "concealed", so it requires a carry permit which in turn demands that the weapon remain fully concealed...
Still some work to be done in instituting 2nd Amendment freedoms.
It is on my bucket list!
Maybe that fear is caused by the recognition that some individuals NEED shootin', and he thinks that he might be one of them! < /sarc >
Add a Hypocrite to the list, Bloomie carries a gun even though he has a NYPD Division protecting his butt. Same goes for most of leftist politicians in NYC they all carry. What do you expect, the Kommisars should always be armed!
Not so much a hypocrit as Elitist Scum.
his crap don’t stink...he is better than me and you....
Seriously? New York??
