One poster correctly pointed out states can determine who can carry a handgun. Another poster claims that violated the 2nd amendment. I pointed out the Supreme Court disagrees.
Of course he does. See, the right to keep and bear arms isn't -really- a right, the anti-gun side believes, and so they find it perfectly acceptable to limit the right to keep and bear arms with restrictions that, if applied to something they do believe is a right, they would scream loud enough o be heard on the moon. Imagine, for example, a requirement for a woman to obtain a $480 permit to have an abortion, and then a $1000 tax, paid by the physician, on the service.
I agree. The question of open carry has not yet been before the courts. There is nothing to prevent states from open carry. Until it is declared unconstitutional it is legal.
Do you believe in the individual right to keep and bear arms? Are you familiar with Heller and McDonald?
NJ is even worse. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/01/18/traveling-mans-gun-arrest-appealed-supreme-court.html I don't know what the outcome of that case was but I remember when it was going down. Flight gets cancelled and he asks for assistance on what to do. Finally takes his locked gun to the hotel and ends up getting arrested for not having a NJ gun license. I hear horror stories once in awhile about PA residents running into trouble there. I avoid the state as much as possible.
harassing people who have no criminal intent? the politicians who pushed that law should be in prison for a decade
I have argued for forty plus years that any firearm that a civilian law enforcement agency has access to, shall be freely available to citizens living the same jurisdiction as that law enforcement agency. If NYS doesn't want people owning 17 round GLOCKS then NYS cannot issue them to cops
