don't get me wrong, I am not happy with the way NY's laws work either, but I do think there are some misconceptions and its not as bad as several other states nearby. yes, I prefer VT or NH (used to live there for awhile) or PA. NY as with so many other things doesn't recognize anybody else's permit, so it doesn't get any reciprocal agreements because other states aren't likely to say "sure come on down" when yours isn't honored. I'd love to see that change. (I do have a PA permit as well, though, which also has reciprocity with a number of other states). I'd also like to see it mandated that a permit once obtained was also good in NYC, and I don't think anti-gun judges should be able to put restrictions on permits either. I do know that when they proposed putting new fees on permit holders and making them renewable every 5 years a year or so ago, it got put down hard, which was encouraging. It was interesting when reading about it in the paper they threw out some statistics and noted that just the city of Buffalo I believe it was had more permit holders than some whole states.
Anyway, all I'm saying is the fight isn't over in NY, at least not all of it. I'll bet I have written to my congressman more in one year than many of you have in your whole lives, and gun owners still have SOME clout here, and fight the good fight
