He may be a media whore and Plaxico Burriss is an idiot.
It doesn’t make him anyless right.
I am a CCW permit holder in NY state and my CCW permit is valid in any county EXCEPT NYC !!!
Why am I barred from carrying my CCW in NYC? as opposed to Rochester or Albany or Watertown where I can carry my weapon at any time?
That's an easy one.
New York City ain't America, pal.
Because NYC is a special place. People who question the validity of the CCW laws in NYC underestimate the stupidity of large percentages of its population. The law is designed with places like Latin Quarter in mind. There was a reason why every cowboy had to check his guns when he rode into Tombstone, and it applies to places like NYC. When I lived in NYC, I had a gun in my apartment, though I was never robbed. I never carried it on the street with me, because I wouldn't have had time to pull it if I was jumped. Meahwhile, without good people carrying concealed weapons is the safest big city in America. Yes we, have a Constitutional right to bear arms. But it's not a black and white issue. And gun advocates who refuse logic in favor of winning every point sound a lot like abortion advocates when they argue for partial birth abortion or against parental notification. All they succeed in doing is turning off the majority of people who are somewhere in the middle.

I surely don’t know the answer but did you ever hear the claim that the Sullivan law was named after a man who got it passed so that his constituents who made their living by robbing people would not have to fear that their victims might be armed?
