Every NY'er who has a Pistol Permit should be allowed to carry a gun in public. They've earned the right . You read the anti gunner articles and they make it seem like every body who applies the same day will get a Concealed Carry permit the same day. That's not how it'll work and they know it. You have to get a Pistol Permit before you get a Carry Permit. It takes up to 9 months to get a Pistol Permit in NY. For 9 months they check your entire background, you need 4 character references and they finger print you like a common criminal.
You don't need a Permit to Exercise your 1st amendment rights and the other rights, so why is the 2nd Amendment different ? In Nassau and a few other Counties, you can legally carry to and from the Rifle Range and to Hunting Grounds, so the non sense about homicides going up is all wrong. Won't happen in States like NY that investigate you for 9 months . Famous people easily get a Carry permit and ordinary people can't. That ain't right. I travel upstate all by myself and I'd like to carry. The lawyers and court system would bankrupt you if you misused a gun in NY and every rational gun owner knows that. The criminals know they'll get out with no bail.
