It does NOT APPLY if possession of the gun in the starting AND ending state is not legal. Without a NYC permit the gun is not legal to possess in NYC. Last edited by brickeyee; December 21, 2011 at 11:50 AM. |

I try to imagine living in such a society and I can not.

Agreed. He made his bed and now he has to lie in it. I wish him luck but the fallout will continue to haunt him.
The last time I went to NY (not on duty) I was completely ignorant of their laws. That would not have saved me had I been caught in possession though. This was about 25 years ago. I would say that with the internet these days you have absolutely no excuse not to know the laws.

Most states did not until the recent wave of shall issue and other laws. It's a new revival.
I had a permit to carry in OR which I had to give up when I came to TX. TX didn't have a carry law at that time. NY and IL will have to be taken down by either federal legislation or a more comprehensive SCOTUS challenge.

Seems New York did not want to take their chances in court. Everyone else they prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. But a well funded pro 2A rights lawyer gets a free pass. Justice?
http://dailycaller.com/2012/01/12/gu...-party-leader/ In any case he was smart to plead out. In the end it could have gone on for years. I wonder if they will let the numerous other people who have recently been arrested under similar circumstances go?

Basically, one is not forced to travel to any other state. Unless you are required to, by law travel to another state, ALL travel is voluntary. The fact that you may need to go, on business, or for any other personal reason is a matter of personal choice. And since it is your personal choice, you are not being denied anything by the law. You are choosing to go there, and by doing so, give implied consent to abide by their laws while there. It is your responsibility to determine what, if any difference in the laws exist, between where you are going and where you live. That a lawyer does not do this before traveling, and considering the simple fact that NYC has had uber restictive handgun laws for generations, shows a lack of forsight. This does not reflect well on his capacities as legal council, in my opinion.

Imagine a state law that forbade entering NY with a Bible or a Koran. Imagine a state law that said the 4th amendment didn't apply in NY for out of state residents. Or a state law that said you could be traffic stopped without RS or PC, because you have an out of state license plate. None of these scenarios would survive ANY judicial standard of review, and neither should the denial of second amendment rights. |

Aquilla Blanca, and others that have posted referencing 44 USC 926, I repectfully disagree. If you are on a trip, you are covered, as long as the starting point is legal, and the ending point is legal...true, we all agree there, no?
Well, if my trip starts in WA, and I tour the whole of the US, by air, train or auto, doesn't matter, I am still on my trip until I have reached my destination, which, in my stated case, is to return to where I started. (think old pfardt in Motor home) Because I stop in NY to visit my wife's relatives does not make that the end of my journey any more than my stop in MN to visit friends, or CA to visit friends, or whereever...a temporary stop is not necessarily the end point of the journey. Now, even though I still have posession of the NYC carry permit from 1927 for my Colt 38, I still am not going to stop in NYC, I don't want the hassel, but the argument that you cannot stop in NY, NJ MA or any other restricted state using the Fed transport law is just taking it too far...That is not what is written in the law. The whole reason for article 1 of the 14th ammendment was to cover interstate travel. The case at the time was allowing blacks from the south to travel outside their state of residence, but all interstate travel is covered. State law cannot inpede interstate travel of citizens of the US, that reside in other states...this is what NYC was trying to keep from being tested in court. Consider a politician running for president..Perry is a good example as everyone knows he carries...in his campaign travels, what is his destination? The journey begins and ends in TX...just like for Ron Paul..and just another reason to vote for Ron Paul.. |

Hermannr,
Your definition of "destination" doesn't even fit common vernacular. If you're from Washington state, headed out on a 10 day trip and someone asks "Where you going?", you don't say "Washington!" You tell them, "Couple days in Denver, then off too Houston...." I don't like the current situation either but trying to justify a tortured interpretation of a word to skirt the intent isn't helping. |

o form criteria has been established for what level of intrusion is allowed (strict scrutiny, compelling interest, etc.). While there are may years of jurisprudence for the 1st and 4th amendments, there is barely any on the 2nd. |

You know he didn't set this up on purpose because a conviction on a gun charge will cost him his law license.

He may well have; it would give him standing for any and all appeals. A lawyer and political middle-heavyweight would make for a very good test case for SAF, etc.
