One of them said that maintaining party loyalty was more important than the principles involved in the law.
at least you can carry.
we have one of the most stringent carry laws in the country here in NY.
I can carry with my permit(you cannot own a handgun in NYS without a permit), but the license is not Shall Issue, it is at the whims of a local police department or judge and the list of regulations, once you get the permit are draconian. My permit is also NOT good in NYC (you can drive through NYC with your handguns locked in the trunk)...that is a given in this state, unless your a celebrity...pretty elitist.
Here is a kicker, I open carry while hunting...but I am not sure if it is legal. There is nothing in the rules that say I can carry open legally. I can carry while hunting, so where do I put that big old .44 Magnum. It probably is legal to carry open while hunting, I see people do it all the time, but I cant find it in any of the regulations....
good luck.
