Carrying in NYC

Carrying in NYC?

No
No and NO.

Go directly to Jail, do not pass go.

You will go to jail if you so much as cross into the State of NY with a Handgun.

No joke.....its posted on EVERY SIGN ON THE NY BORDER!

What is HR 218????

Springmom

I think it's off-duty police officer national CCW reciprocity.

Last time I went up the empire state, they had metal detectors. Be prepared to explain yourself.

Last time I rode the subway, they had flushed the 4th down the sewer, and inspected bags and whatnot at whim. Be prepared to explain yourself.

The last time I entered a skyscraper for biz, I went through a metal detector, and they x-rayed my bags, just like flying circa 1988. Be prepared to explain yourself.

4th amendment? We don't need no steeenking 4th amendment.

Seriously, you should need a passport to go there, because it sure isn't like the rest of America.

In fact, come to think of it, I got less nonsense from the Russians, only 10 years after they gave up communism.

I have heard of many police officers being SERIOUSLY harrassed for carrying under HR 218 in NYC. I would not be suprised if you were detained by national gaurd at various tourist hot spots for a few hours while everything gets sorted out. Anytime you enter a public attraction you will be searched if they uncover a firearm it will be a nightmare. You wont be charged with anything but you will be annoyed and delayed.

I guess you can be the test case in NYC . I don't belive they follow any laws but their own in that commie city and state not much better. Contact the NY Atty General and see their answer.

Tread lightly if you go ahead with this. NYC is a different animal than any other urban area in this nation...

The state would be great if we could get New Jersey to take NYC off our hands.




Unless you are a state or federal officer be prepared to be hassled. My father is a retired NYS DEC investigator and carries down there every once in a while but still gets hassled even though he is an retired officer from the state of NY

If you're in compliance with federal law AND you're a former cop, they'd better not give you crap. If they do and said offender is a liberal, bust out the, "but I'm former LAW ENFORCEMENT". Just repsond with the highlighted phrase to everything they say.

"Sir, you had a weapon on you. You were in compliance with the law but-"

"but I'm former LAW ENFORCEMENT"

"Yes sir, but according to NYC protocals"

"but I'm former LAW ENFORCEMENT"

"Why are you carrying? Most people in NYC don't carry"

"but I'm former LAW ENFORCEMENT"

As long as you are legal, why not. I know I would,,, hassles be damned!

Why should a law enforcement officer outside of his jurisdiction have any more rights than the rest of us?

who the heck is gonna know if you've got good concealment?

subways don't have metal detectors in them.

NYPD and the national guard in the subways and commuter rails don't look for every bulge on your torso. In fact, they look really bored.

if you run across a metal detector, just tell folks you're a cop.

NYC isn't as bad as it seems to outsiders. I have a friend who works security at Boomers in time square. He has a ccw and carries to and from work using public transportation (subway and buses). He has yet to have an issue concerning his weapon. As far as seeing some of the sites just discretly inquire with the security personell as to their policies and I don't forsee any problems.

NY gave up communism?

Funny, on all the LEO boards and other boards that have LEO members.....and going to firearms training events, I've never heard of any LEO being hassled by NYPD. In fact, its quite the opposite.
