Next question, if you just traveling through the state to get to New England can you get a permit?
Next question, can I apply for a New York gun permit from Virginia?
Next question, do I actually ever have to visit New York to be issued a permit?
Seems to me the USSC following the dicta that you can't absolutely prohibit the carrying of a firearm could well end up allowing non-resident, non-visitors to have permits to carry firearms in New York even though residents could be denied such permits.
We also need to go to work on this business of government officials being able to violate gun free fire zones at will.
This reply is off-topic, but may be of interest to those interested in New York state’s putsch for gun control and confiscation.
I was told this by a friend who lives there, can’t vouch for its content, but this is what he told me. Take it with a grain of salt.
Recently there was a gun show in northern Pennsylvania not too far from the New York state line (not the big one in Harrisburg that got cancelled).
In the parking lot, there were individuals from New York state (not sure whether they were agents of the NY state police, or some other NY state agency), who copied down the license plate numbers of any New York registered vehicles that were parked for the show (remember, this is happening inside PA).
Later on, the NY state police set up roadblocks on the roads leading back across the state line, and stopped and questioned vehicles that were “on the list”. I don’t know whether they simply questioned the drivers or conducted a “plain sight” search (or anything more than that), but I’m told they confiscated any ammunition purchased at the show as being brought into NY state in violation of the new state law — which isn’t even in effect as of yet.
Again, can’t vouch for the absolute veracity of this, but that’s what I was told.
Is this a portent of what’s to come there?
License is another word for infringement.
“The opinion set no time limit on the state court’s answer to the question about the scope of the New York residency law, but it expressed confidence that any delay would not be extensive.”
Bulls__t!!!
Even in this day and age of dwindling job positions around the country, I would be hard pressed to even accept a temp position in NY...To me it would not be worth it...
As Heller is now law I think it possible to apply Heart of Atlanta to this case. A person is being denied a stated constitutional right upon entry into another state. Veru=y much like the refusal to service African Americans in Heart of Atlanta. NT has no right to interfere with an interstate traveller exercising his liberties just because he is not a full time resident of NY. As long as Heller is maintained I think this case goes against NY.
