Now is the time for Congress and America to sock it to New York's Bloomberg, says gun law expert

Sounds like a great way to cut down on tourist muggings, for certain.

Not to mention someone who gets a permit in say, Florida, who actually lives in NY being able to carry.

Full faith and credit for Concealed Carry is waaaay overdue.

I like it.

How many other FReepers can hook their thumbs under their suspenders and say "That's MY Congressman!?"
:o)
Yay Cliffy!

[ncountylee]

Wonder how many shooters and bullet catchers are protecting his honor?

[AlienCrossfirePlayer]

Does anyone know whether the proposed legislation would protect employees from corporate policy reprisals? How about restaurant and retail customers?

I have mixed feelings about this. I love guns, own dozens, and have held carry permits in three states. However, this is coming mighty close to trampling on the principles of federalism and states' rights. I suspect this may pass muster under the Militia Clause, but as far as I know, no court has ever held that the Second Amendment has been incorporated by the 14th.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of writing exactly what you did.

[BigCinBigD]

Full faith and credit If my TX DL is good in New york then my Texas CHL (which was much harder to get) should be also.

but as far as I know, no court has ever held that the Second Amendment has been incorporated by the 14th.

How many legs would a horse have if the Supreme Court called a tail a leg?

[MedicalMess]

This is a great idea....


But, I bet you can't get the votes to put it through.

That isn't cocking New York. It is liberating us!

[rmlew]

I meant to write "socking it".
That isn't socking it to New York. It is liberating us!

I think I'll go to bed before I make any more amusing typos.

[shekkian]

This almost sounds too good to be true.

[tiger-one]

I'll remind you of NFA and the change to Title 18 of the United States Code, signed into law July of 2004 allowing off duty or retired Peace Officers, to carry concealed in all 50 states.

Does either of these laws bother you about states rights?

Hmmm, -- just what 'principle is trampled' by admitting that our right to keep & bear arms cannot be infringed by local or state governments?

I've never quite understood what right is lost by demanding that States comply with our 'Law of the Land', just as Art VI says.

Perhaps you two can explain?

Only the good and obedient would disarm for Bloomberg

And Bloomberg has a conflict of interest in taxing towns surrounding NYC for his own problems. It's always the same thing: corrupt confederate judges trying to control and take other wealthy counties' revenues by blaming them...all the while they maintain in their own counties the very criminals which will be used to link and accuse other counties.

We need a Lincolnian enforcement of Union interest in this. Bloomberg is violating interstate commerce and causing extrajudicial interferences

"Full faith and credit for Concealed Carry is waaaay overdue."

Unfortunately, the only example of the application of the Full faith and Credit Clause in the US Constitution these days involves Gay Marriage rather than the Second Amendment to that same US Constitution.

[JudgemAll]

Bloomberg is basicaly seeking the enforcing of a "public-private" third way partnership with criminals: he's asking NYC criminals to contribute to the blaming of other cities. It's like the drug war: first they let the dealer squeeze you, and, then, once squeezed out, the dealer becomes informant and denounces said people who get squeezed by the cops...whatever's left of it, that is.
