It sounds like something to take to the SCOTUS.

If tyrants can be beaten in Chi & D.C. they can be beaten in NY.

OK a silly qustion:If he were given his gun back by New York, how could he get out of the city with it without being arrested again.

The minute he took possession of it he would be in violation of the law.

I strongly suspect that NYC dropped the charges because they didn't want this to become a "test case", which they had a real chance of losing and setting a new, pro gun legal precedent. (IMHO)

“Years ago a very wise man once said that New York should be sawed off America and allowed to drift off to sea.”

Leftists will continue to ignore the constitution until they’re punished. Wait for bloomberg and his armed fascist guard to fly into a free state and arrest the whole crew for illegally carrying concealed arms. Throw bloomberg in jail and set bail at $1 billion.

First, Who da thunk NY laws were worse than CA laws?

Second, he has a permit to carry concealed in CA? How do I apply and how do I get approved?

I'm glad the charges were dropped (although, I consider being charged with anything, not totaly "dropped"). I don't understand how NY gets away with not returning the guy's property. Bet they give the gang bangers their guns back!

Some state out west (Wyoming ?) actually passed a law requiring any of these jerks from New York who go out there to try an enforce Bloombastard’s anti-gun laws against residents or travelers there to be arrested.

I suggest you have a conversation with a local gun shop owner first. In my county you apply with the local sheriff. Helps if you can establish you have credible threats to your safety (landlord collecting rents, laundromat owner, etc.).

NYC does this regularly to people. Drops the felony charges for a disorderly conduct guilty plea and keeps the gun. It’s nothing new. Despicable, but not new.

Very simple, ship it back to him via USPS, UPS, or Fed-Ex.

FOAD NYC!

I’ve been there, NOTHING could convince me to go back again, it’s even worse than it’s stereotype.

And I STRONGLY suspect you are correct!

Doing so should only be a delaying action, it is past time to fix this ongoing travesty.

The original “Sullivan Act” was put in place to give the Irish mob an advantage over the Italian mob.

Now it’s used indiscriminately to deprive everyone who is not “Connected” of their 2nd Amendment rights.

To Hell with Blooming-Idiot’berg and his coalition of sedition.

Years ago a very wise man once said that New York should be sawed off America and allowed to drift off to sea. Barry Goldwater was right.

Goldwater was a bit off...put a giant hook into Cape Cod, then tow the land mass north of I-64 in Virginia and east of I-81 from Virginia northerly to the Canadian border out into the North Atlantic where it can drift aimlessly without bringing further harm to the rest of the country.

It's going to take a good-size chain... :-)

Mark Meckler has standing. NYC robbed him of his gun. I’d like to see Alan Gura take this case.
