I grew up in NYC. Guns were repressed back than. I can only imagine now its plain unconstitutional but they don't care.

Anyways, we all know who is armed in New York City: The cops, the mayor's bodyguards, the gangs, and the private security of the billionaires who live in Manhattan.

Everybody else get's a permit denied on the basis of, "they don't need a gun in the city limits." Cause irrc, that's the only way to have a gun in the city limits - show a need and get permission from the police.

Maybe that has changed? I dunno.

Anyways, we had rifles we kept at our cabin in upstate NY. I did not actually own or even fire a handgun till I moved down to Florida. I don't think I ever even touched a handgun growing up in New York.

Edit = I just wanted to add this in bold type: The gangs, the criminals, the muggers, thieves, robbers, and rapists of New York City are armed.

So good luck to you if you live in NYC. I do not miss it. I do not miss it.
