My long haul trucker customers have one answer to the quirks of getting safely thru NY. They all tell me that the one type of firearm they can carry in their trucks any place in the country including NY City is a shotgun. So they love to buy basic riot guns which is a 18”barrelled pump or semi auto, extended mag, sometimes folding butt stock but always meeting the 26” minimum OA length rule——and a box of OO buck. Even tho I’m a farwester I have plenty of longhaulers pop in and I’ve sold dozens of such guns to these guys over the past two or three decades. It doesn’t address all the fine points of carry/concealed carry of other sizes of guns but it dam sure works for these guys.
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.
