AFAIK, cities and Counties cannot make gun laws more stringent than the State laws.
“AFAIK, cities and Counties cannot make gun laws more stringent than the State laws.”
Two things - first it depends on the state. Many states do not have preemption, so therefore owning a gun isn’t difficult in New York State, but next to impossible in New York City (for example). The redder states, of course, do have preemption.
Second - My point was it’s not just the laws you have to worry about, it’s the people who enforce those laws. Very few cases are black and white, most have gray areas. Again, if the people who can charge you support the Second Amendment, there is a far better chance you’ll get the benefit of the doubt. And life is much, much, easier if you never get charged, regardless of the laws.
Third (just came to me) - Who would you want on your jury? People who are looters or parents of looters, or people who support the Second Amendment, or at least having some people who support the Second Amendment. I know if I’m on a jury and the police say that a home owner went too far in using a gun in self defense, I’m going to much more receptive to that home owner’s argument, than say someone who is only interested in ‘racial justice’, for example.
