Gonna take something very high-profile to end this.

How hard is it for a cop to simply “not notice” a gun on an otherwise law abiding citizen? Believe it, there are a very high proportion of the “thin blue line” who are just foaming at the mouth to be able to enforce this clearly unconstitutional law.
Governor Hochul Announces New Concealed Carry Laws Passed in Response to Reckless Supreme Court Decision Take Effect September 1, 2022
Great! Obey me but not The US Supreme Court!
Governor Hochul’s extremism on guns will hopefully get some Dem gun owners upset, who knows in NY.
I use this example of “I was just doing my job” whenever that subject comes up. I retired from Pepsico about 10 years ago. Would I have been justified to sneak around and destroy Coke and other competitors displays and signage, or sabotage their delivery trucks if instructed to do so by my supervisors?
The issue and no Democratic leader seems to care is the complete lack of respect for the rule of law. Does that mean everyone gets to choose which laws to follow and which to disregard?
You are making the assumption that there is such a thing as a GOOD cop. I agree there are. However, stand up a line of 100 of them and YOU pick out the Dirty Ones.
That number will be between ZERO and 100. There is no way to tell until it’s too late.
I prefer to assume ALL are Dirty ALL the time. I start at 100 and work down based on actions not silly words like “back the blue” and other useless platitudes. Actions speak louder than words. As of late, their ACTIONS SUCK!!
Trust has been destroyed. Cops need to FIX their own ranks first.
The Soros DA's have bee doing this for over a decade.
Oh the cops there will enforce it. If anyone doesn’t think so they have not been paying attention. Most of the law and order cops retired or quit. What is left are lefty or power hungry cops.
I would bet you they won’t enforce it against the retired LEO’s who by default received carry permits before the Supreme Court ruling.
Gonna take something very high-profile to end this.
Many people are far less concerned (if they’ve thought about it all) with doing their job ethically and morally than they are about keeping their job: To hell with traditional, Judeo-Christian American values and patriotism if I might lose my job if I practice these anachronistic principles.
What about the thugs walking around with guns stuffed in their low hanging pants and who do not have a concealed carry license?
End-run around the second amendment.
The number one gun "crime" in New Jersey is possessing one without the permission of the almighty state. Carry permits are almost unobtainable if you're not among the "connected".
“I wonder where their consciences will come down.”
Their paychecks. It will come down to their paychecks, and they will choose them over you in a millisecond as they have always done.
Well, not if you are a white, straight male...
They get the book thrown at them.
Of course, I know you were joking... But like good satire, there's always a grain of truth that makes one think about it...
Exactly. If you believe that they will choose you over their house, their family, their children, their livelihoods, you are so F’n deluded you should seek psychiatric help immediately.
“Is that what New York’s deputies and troopers and officers are being ordered to enforce? They will arrest their neighbors and friends for that?”
They will do it in a New York Minute and laugh about it and not lose one second of sleep over it.
At my university I taught at the downstairs portion of our building had a large classroom they taught police officers...
This was some private company that was paid big bucks to teach enhanced law enforcement. They often made the point of the most important duty of the police was “To get to go home at the end of the shift”. Self-preservation, not the duty to protect and serve, became the mantra.
There’s no doubt in my mind that some police would much rather arrest some old grandma or woman than have to deal with an enraged, pumped up and drugged out minority male yout. The first is an easy collar, the latter could ensure you won’t go home...
They should no more need a license than should I or any other citizen. If you can't be trusted to be armed, you should not be running around loose.
I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the constitution of the United States, and the constitution of the State of New York, and that I will faithfully discharge the duties of the office of ____________________________________________________________ according to the best of my ability.They are therefore bound by oath or affirmation to ignore their governor's clearly unconstitutional dictates.
