So much for "common sense" gun laws
Marine faces 3.5 years "hard time" in NYC for carrying without a license. He had a CCW permit in his home state, Indiana, and was carrying $15,000 in jewelry at the time.

Hopefully he'll get off somehow. I would like to see an appeal based upon the 2nd Amendment, but realize it would have little chance of success.
Now that I read the article, I see he is not even indited yet. Also, I wonder what he read, and where he read it, that gave him the idea that carry in NYC was legal. Even NY state would not recognize his Indiana permit.
I'm with Jim - I'd love to know just what in the heck he read that led him to think it'd be OK.
How long will the courts let this go on? Is any other individual Constitutional right subject to complete denial outside the state of your legal residence? Can that result even possibly pass muster as "reasonable regulation?"
You can thank thet courts for "interpreting" the Constitution which as subordinates of the Constitution they the courts are not authorized to do.
They gave us Barron v Baltimore and have not upheld Article IV's command that "Full faith and credit SHALL be given..."
And the courts added the word "reasonable" to the 2nd when it does not appear there.
Funny how they still talk about sporting weapons and the 2nd. Anyone ever read Joseph Story?????
