I can't envision CA or NY or NYC ever allowing this.
In 1849 many CC & OC NY`ers went to the California Gold Rush. Coming from NYC on a ship, then up the Mississippi via riverboat, it was commonplace on that riverboat for EVERYONE to carry a pistol, even the 10-12-16 year old kids who worked as servants on the riverboat.
It`s in the record archives. No CC or Oc permits/licenses need then.
One can see the erosion of the 2nd up to now.
viz:
1849:
“One morning I was in the wash room there were two citizens of Arkansas in it washing; by their conversation I found one was a United States Senator the other a United States Representative. There were eight or twelve cabin boys waiters on the boat; the Senator called one to him and asked him to bring him some clean towels; all these boys were armed with pistols and knives; the boy looked at
the Senator with perfect indignation and said, “You go to Hell, God damn you if you want towels go and get them. The boy left with an air of having been insulted.
After his departure the Senator turned to the Congressman with a laugh and said “I like that that’s the kind of boys we raise in Arkansas and just what our people should encourage.”

Hell, my NYS CCW permit isn’t valid in NYC, yet an NYC CCW permit is valid in upstate.
If this were to pass, and get signed, one wonders how long it would be before they (Cuomo and Schneiderman) were in court before a friendly judge who would say it’s (wait for it..) unconstitutional.
Don't confuse upstate NY with NYC and its suburban counties. I and many people I know have an unrestricted concealed carry permit. The permit process is not that hard. And most county sheriffs, who are responsible for issuing permits, are very pro 2nd Amd.

Or Maryland, or Massachusetts, or Connecticut or New Jersey........who did I leave out????
I can’t wait to see them forced to allow this.
