Guess what - I've never been in your Fascist craphole of a state, and I'll never go there.

And I'll ridicule anyone I know who expresses plans to go there, and do everything in my power to dissuade them.

BTW - I've been to a great many of these fifty states, and I might have been talked into going to Neo FascistYork state in the past, but never, now.

Why do you live in that den of Fascist slavers, anyway?

Family and business.

You have it right—I was born in Brooklyn 89+ yrs ago (nothing like it is now)-—enlisted in service 12/1941-—took my old job back 4/1947 and worked 2 weeks-—after being squashed in subway and trolley twice a day, left and only returned to bury family members-—will never go back to that rotten hellhole again-—advise all decent citizens to stay out of the liberal cesspool that is New York City-—cheers

I’m not a city girl, but I’ll do Chicago if the family insists on something like that. I’ve been in NYC enough to know it’s not my type of environment. WAY too many rules!

I am surprised that no one has posted the appropriate quote from "Atlas Shrugged"

Here ya' go...

Did you really think we want those laws observed? said Dr. Ferris.  We
want them to be broken. You'd better get it straight that it's not a bunch
of boy scouts you're up against... We're after power and we mean it...
There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is
the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough
criminals one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that
it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a
nation of law-abiding citizens?  What's there in that for anyone? But just
pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced or
objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers and then
you cash in on guilt.  Now that's the system, Mr. Reardon, that's the game,
and once you understand it, you'll be much easier to deal with.

re local carry rules:
How about the idea that a city cannot define any crime as a felony - that should be the prerogative of the states. After all, it is not the city that houses the “felon” for a year, but the state.
