This may be true, and Tennessee can discriminate among new Yorkers in giving reciprocity. But that doesn’t mean that they should feel compelled to.
As has been pointed out New York State has counseled carry permits which they are are making new York city honor but are not making new York city honor the permits of other States, specifically Tennessee in this case.
While New York City can be fought for mistreating Tennessean in the improper enforcement of their laws. It is New York State who can be held responsible for their failure to honor the full faith & credit of Tennessee licenses & documents. imperiling this poor Tennessee woman’s liberty.
I don’t buy the argument that the rest of new York are blameless.
In any-case this is a simple matter of reciprocity. If New York will not honor & respect the rights of Tennessean. Tennessean have no obligation to do likewise for New Yorkers. The matter is as simple as that.
An excellent point. Just about the time I am ready to give up on FR because it is just a place that many ( like me ) come to vent their frustrations someone like you thinks things though.
Conceal Carry Permits are issued by the state. Some states tell the cities that they WILL NOT go beyond state laws.
I think Florida, Pennsylvania, Nebraska, Virginia and many others tell the cities this is state law, do it our way.
Chicago and NYC do it their way. Chicago even goes so far as to control the rest of the state. Washington DC is special, they just spit on The Constitution.
Here in Missouri the cities of St Louis and Kansas City used a technicality to drag their feet for up to 14 months after citizens in the remainder of the state were issued permits.
LEOs are human just like you and I. If they make a traffic stop they run the license plate before they ever get out of their car. When the report comes back to them it gives name and address of the vehicle owner. Once they get out of their car their life is on the line as well as their personal feelings, good or bad.
Reciprocity, or the lack of it causes confusion as well ill will. That said there is one thing to keep in mind, Concealed Carry Permits started and continue today from actions taken at the state level.
What have our federal public servants done to enable you and I to protect ourselves, our families, our property? Very little, if anything positive.
States Rights have brought us Conceal Carry Permits. If there are disagreements, revenge, tick for tack among the states so be it. It is far from perfect, but better than being faced with going barehanded into a gun fight.
Again excellent point, you caused me and hopefully others to think about self protection as it is today across this great country.
