Opinion: NYPD creating an additional endorsement for CCW?

[Cavalier Knight]

My actual desire is full carry status in NYC/NYS such as that afforded me by my CT, NH, UT & VA permits in other states.. In the interim why not an additional endorsement for individuals in NYC who have valid premise permits? This would allow you to transport your firearm locked securely as required by law from NYC to the airport if flying or locked within a vehicle if driving. Thus enabling you to carry on your person upon reaching your destination via your out of state CCW permit(s).

Similar to the current hunting provision:

Can I go hunting if I have a premises residence license?

You must obtain a hunting authorization from the License Division to hunt in an authorized area designated by the NYS Fish and Wildlife law. Your handgun must be transported unloaded, in a locked container and you must comply with all relevant NYS hunting regulations.

This is something I intend to discuss with my NRA representative as well as the President of the NYSRPA Mr. Tom King. All opinions & support will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Isn't that already legal based on the FOPA "safe passage" law?

 

[Robert Hairless]

But wouldn't that create a special class of citizens with special privileges? The community of gun owners has decided that such things are not a good idea because they allow governments to restrict other people's Second Amendment rights.

Keep in mind that the right to keep and bear arms is fundamental and existed before the Second Amendment so everyone in New York City has that right no matter what the City says. Do you want to acknowledge that the City has any authority over fundamental rights? That's a slippery slope.

This sort of thing just wastes more time/energy/money on a red-herring.

We need to stop being so concerned about tools and focus on dealing with actual CRIMINALS.

We also need to stop punishing/limiting/restricting the law abiding while trying to find a way to deal with criminals. The innocent get slapped down/criminalized for having done NOTHING AT ALL and it just makes me want to puke.

I don't understand the poll. I'm not opposed to the idea, i guess, but strongly opposed to a public entity expressing a stand on either side of a political issue--especially law enforcement.

The citizen's groups and politicians can sort out policy, agencies can follow policy.

Would I support this?

I have a VA CHP and a FL non resident CHP.
What i would support is my VA CHP being recognized everywhere in the USA.
That means i can get rid of my FL CHP, and not worry about all the bs state carry laws. I can carry anywhere.
I digress and go back to my dreamworld.

I would support the NYPD recognizing and accepting the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. Anything else is just under the table deals and bandaids.
