They’re preparing for a Mamdani administration lox, stock and barrel.

Jewish New Yorkers are arming themselves before an anti-Israel “mayor who despises us” takes the helm of New York City, several told The Post this week.

They want to “have a say in our protection and not have to rely on others,” one said.

The morning after mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory, firearms instructors and gun shop owners were flooded with urgent pleas. “It’s getting busy because of him,” said longtime gun safety instructor Lance Dashefsky. …

“I always ask people in class why they want a gun,” said Dashefsky. “And now the answer is Mamdani.”

Brooklyn firearms instructor Ross Den said anyone who was ever on the fence about getting a concealed carry weapon, is no longer.

That kosher cohort includes Jewish doctors, lawyers, plumbers and even rabbis, he continued.

“There are plenty of rabbis who carry – shul is where the greatest threat is,” said Den, adding “People are beginning to wake up and are now realizing they have to defend themselves and not rely on the cavalry to come save them.”

If we’re talking about Orthodox Jews, they tend to be more conservative.

How are they getting permits? New York City doesn’t allow you to do any damn thing without a permit!
