In New York State it is NECESSARY to have a CHL to even possess a handgun. You need the "State's" approval to defend yourself there!

As of Jan. 1, 2003, you will need a license to purchase a handgun in California. It will not apply to weapons previously purchased, but I imagine the legislature will eventually get around to that one, as well. In the meantime, I'll be stocking up in 2002, because I don't intend to get one of their steekin' licenses.
