I have to agree with NJgunowner on this one.

Ignorance (or misinterpretation) of the law does not exempt someone from the law. The former marine should have done his homework better. While pretty much all of us feel that NYC's gun laws are ridiculous, the former marine is guilty of violating those laws. I hope he gets some lieniency as well on this one.
