So, in case you didn't hear, the Supreme Court shot down the most draconian and authoritarian part of NY's concealed carry law.
The Sullivan Act, which has been around for more than a century, required that applicants for a concealed carry handgun permit must show "proper cause" that they unlike most NYers, face special danger that should allow them, unlike most of their neighbors, to carry a concealed gun.
The affect of this is that around 35,000 people have a concealed carry permit for NYC, but they are celebrities, wealthy persons, politicians, ex-cops, and other supposed VIPs.
Everyone else, is not eligible. Even if they live or work in a high crime part of the city.
How the **** is this just?
Basically the message NYC and other cities around the nation are stating that no one has the basic right to defend themselves with deadly force, UNLESS they are super-special people.
What utter ********.
NYC and other cities and states can still require permits, FBI background checks, employment letters, moral character references, firearms training, gun liability insurance, $350 license fees that get repeated every 3 years, but they can no longer limit concealed carry to just the rich & famous.
Honestly now, what's wrong with this? I see nothing.
