Thanks

NJ gun laws are bad. But as for NY, just remember it is only in the city that we have crazy laws. Upstate is pretty lienent and I know a few people who have full carry permits. Lucky for me, I am a cop, and since HR218, I really don't have to follow any laws other than that one! I love it.

Actually one side note... because we purchase our guns in NY using our Police ID cards from work, it is actually pretty hard for me to get a gun anywhere but in NYC or the surrounding counties.
I was in Chenango County NY and tried to buy ammo with my ID card and theyrefused to sell it to me because I did not have a valid NY gun permit, technically.
It would be nice if now that the Fed Gov has given us the right to carry everwhere, they would issue a nation police concealed carry ID card to simplify the process.
