“I live in a small apartment in NYC, and I only have tools necessary to hang pictures on my walls.”

YOU’RE INSANE.

While it’s the law that you can do certain things, the biggest problem with having such a weapon in NYC is not in the law, it’s in the perception.

You can’t carry it with you. Even in a legal manner. Yes, the courts say one thing but could you imagine being stopped in midtown with such a weapon ? Or ANY weapon? You would be on the front page of every mag in the first world - as a criminal (Even though you aren’t). If you are seen having such a weapon the police will just shoot you from a distance and be hailed as heroes.

This looks like a really, really bad idea in that horrible sh!tpit of a city. And I worked in midtown for 4 years and lived right over the CT border so I know the scoop when it comes to NYC. I seriously, seriously wouldn’t do this.

I understand where you're coming from, but I do not plan on carrying this weapon. That would be really, really stupid.

I also do not plan on living in NYC or NYS for much longer. I can retire shortly and will be moving south. Being a LEO allows me to possess certain items others cannot in my jurisdiction. I didn't say life was fair, but that's the way it is.

You’d be surprised.

I went to a shooting range in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and you’d’ve thought you were in one of the free states!

People treating guns as tools, not a horrid, evil device...so, there ARE New Yorkers who aren’t part of the commie mindset.
