NEW YORK - Actors Robert De Niro (news) and Harvey Keitel (news), radio host Howard Stern and developer Donald Trump are among the New Yorkers licensed to carry a loaded gun, according to police records.
But some stars — including Joan Rivers, action-movie star Steven Seagal (news) and conservative commentator William F. Buckley — were rejected when they applied to have their gun licenses renewed by New York City police this year, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Police told the Post only that Rivers had an "incident" on her record. She was reportedly in a fight with a car-rental clerk last year but was not criminally charged.
Police declined to say why Seagal and Buckley were turned down for permits. Seagal's permit was a premise license — which allows gun owners to keep their weapons unloaded and locked in a safety box when they travel.
About 3,600 New Yorkers are authorized to carry a loaded weapon, down from 4,500 at the end of 2001. Police have been re-examining records to make sure gun owners have up-do-date licenses and clean criminal records.
