Now, repeal the Sullivan Acts, and watch the crime rate fall further.
Great minds.
Outside of New York City, the practices for the issuance of concealed carry licenses vary from county to county within New York State. In New York City, the licensing authority is the police department, which rarely issues carry licenses to anyone except retired police officers. In addition, New Yorkers who have political influence, wealth, or celebrity appear to be issued licenses more liberally. [1] The New York Post, the New York Sun, and other newspapers have obtained the list of licensees through Freedom of Information Law requests and have published several articles showing that the wealthy, famous, and politically connected have been issued carry licenses by the city police department.
Current and past New York City (pistol)license holders include:
* Senator Charles Schumer
* Don Imus
* Harvey Keitel
* Joseph Bruno
* Ronald Lauder
* Edgar Bronfman, Sr.
* Howard Stern
* Donald Trump
* William F. Buckley Jr.
* Joan Rivers
* Arthur Hays Sulzberger
* Robert DeNiro
