They might not be dangerous, but they're armed.
Seeking an added layer of protection, more high-profile celebrities are seeking permits to carry guns in New York City, according to New York's Daily News.
Among the big names licensed to pack heat: Marc Anthony, Robert De Niro, Donald Trump, and his son, Donald Jr., Mets third baseman David Wright, and Martha Stewart's daughter, radio host Alexis Stewart.
Anthony, 42, has a special permit that allows him to carry a loaded weapon in the city, and has a similar permit for Nassau County, where he and Jennifer Lopez have a $2 million home in Brookville.

Son of a Gun: More Celebrities Than Ever Are Carrying Firearms (New York)
“
Well, Reagan packed a .38 cal pistol after being threatened by (film)
union thugs.
I wonder how many of these current celebrities know they are simply
following in Ronald Reagan’s steps?
More than likely NONE.
Maybe I’m wrong, but on the back of my license it says:
1. It is revocable at any time.
2. If issued outside of New York City, not valid to carry a weapon in New York City unless approved by the police commissioner of that city.
Not sure about Long Island. Is that in NY? Just kidding. Seriously though, do you have to go through NYC to get out to the Island? That might be the issue because you couldn’t carry while in the city limits even though you’re just passing through. Sort of like being “land-locked”.
I’ll call our pistol clerk and get back to you shortly.
Just got off the phone with our pistol clerk. She says she is not aware of any restrictions for Suffolk County. And that my permit allows me to carry concealed statewide except the 5 burroughs.
She suggested that you call your pistol clerk. Good luck on getting your permit! Let us know.

You can defend yourself, while the great unwashed are denied that basic human right.
I believe the founding fathers warned us of this in Federalist No. 39 Conformity of the Plan to Republican Principles
It is essential to such a government that it be derived from the great body of the society, not from an inconsiderable proportion, or a favored class of it; otherwise a handful of tyrannical nobles, exercising their oppressions by a delegation of their powers, might aspire to the rank of republicans, and claim for their government the honorable title of republic.
Thanks for the update, panaxanax. In order for me to get anywhere north of the City, yes, I would have to pass through the 5 boroughs. (Unless I took a boat.)
I’ll double check down here, and if I remember to do so, I’ll let you know what they tell me.
Take care,
No doubt,that’s a flask full of booze.
