Sorry mis-read the post. Technically, I guess he would be guilty.

It’s purely political. NYC is a police state.
If you offend the authorities, they find a way to arrest you.

America the free!
As long as you abide by the 908,000 laws.
This does not apply to the millions of innocent, hard working illegal aliens.

Should NYC be allowed to restrict freedom of speech?

It’s common practice in New York to make these kinds of arrests. Airlines are required to contact the NY cops when they find any gun in luggage. If that person does not have a New York permit, they are arrested.
The most egregious case I am aware of invovled someone whose plane was diverted because of weather and they were bussed into NYC from another state (PA if I recall) to catch another plane. Because he had to recheck his luggage in New York, he was arrested on a felony.

Special Advisory for New York and New Jersey Airports: Despite federal law that protects travelers, authorities at JFK, La Guardia, Newark and Albany airports have been known to enforce state and local firearms laws against airline travelers who are merely passing through the jurisdiction. In some cases, even persons traveling in full compliance with federal law have been arrested or threatened with arrest. As noted above in the section entitled "Federal Law on the Transportation of Firearms," FOPA`s protections have been substantially narrowed by court decisions, and persons traveling with firearms may want to avoid New York and New Jersey or make arrangements to ship their firearms to their destination, rather than bringing them through these jurisdictions.One would hope that eventually someone will be able to bring this before the higher courts and restrict New York and New Jersey from these illegal arrests.
