I have heard about Mayor Bloomberg's new law in NY about carrying firearms if you've been drinking: http://dnainfo.com/20100204/manhatta...bloomberg-says

My question is, is this law in effect yet? I read somewhere else that they will not be enforcing it on hunting grounds and shooting ranges. So does this mean in a local sandpit where people shoot we can still drink and shoot guns? I'm not looking to get hammered while I'm shooting, but I do like to drink one or two beers while I'm out and don't want to take any chances of getting in trouble for having a gun on me. Is this for just hand guns or do all guns fall under this law?

I haven't found much more information other than the link I posted to above so I'm wondering if anyone on here has any idea about the law.

Thanks.
