As a New Yorker with a pistol permit I can tell you how crazy this law WAS.. I lived in a county only about 40 minutes from NYC when I got my permit. Full carry, concealed. That meant I could carry most anywhere except NYC, court rooms and school houses. I moved to a county up in northern NY about 40 minutes from Canada and when I transferred my license there, they said they only give out “Hunting, hiking, fishing, range conceal” permits, which means you can only carry during those activities and it must be concealed. If I wanted to carry other times, I had to show cause.
A friend of mine is a PA that works in an ER, constantly getting threatened when he doesn’t prescribe opiates. The judge said that wasn’t good enough cause..
It was totally arbitrary and the gun control nut of a judge we have in our county basically made it impossible.
This all gets washed away now.
Thank you Justice Thomas!!
Justice Thomas continues to be a Godsend for our Republic.
With Kavanaugh and Barret being surprisingly squishy on other rulings, I am happy to see them on the side of the Constitution in this regard.
This was a major battle in the WIN column for the Republic, but I doubt the Commies will give up the war just yet.
Interesting notes on “historical context” there... In “historical context”... we could own grenades and fully armed privateer ships. Not just weapons that we can personally “bear”.
