Carry in NYC under H.R. 882?

Just have a question about H.R. 882 (The national reciprocity bill)

As many may know, N.Y.C. technically allows CCW to anyone who holds a NYC Carry Permit (which is separate from a NYS carry permit, which is not valid in NYC) However, as far as the government is concerned, noone has a "good reason" to get the permit, making it effectively a ban in anything but name.

Now from what I understand, certain states issue Non-Resident Permits to people who do not actually reside in that state. Under H.R. 882 since all permits would be valid anywhere in the country where CCW is allowed (which is in NYC technically) Could a NYC resident get a Non-Resident Permit from a different state and use it to carry in NYC?

Would be an interesting way to stick it to Bloomy.

King Bloomburg also refuse to honor HR218 (LEOSA?). Retired police officers have had their firearms confiscated by NYPD. You have to understand that Bloomburg truely believes that he's king of NY and there is no power above his... The man is a control freak.

NYC and the Port Authority have also refiused to recognize FOPA.
They have been warned by the US Justice Dept. a number of times.

I don't have the text of the bill in front of me, but I think the answer is, "no." As I recall, the bill contains language to the effect of "other than a resident." So a NYC resident would still have to get a NYC permit, but someone with an out-of-state residence & permit could CCW.

Yeah Bloomberg does have a history of just telling the law to go suck eggs and cramming his agenda through anyway.

I've underlined the specific text:

I don't think HR 822 would require a NYC resident to get a NYC permit -- but there's no other way for a NYC resident to get a NYS permit, so it's a circular argument. But the original question was about carrying in NYC with a non-resident permit from another state. I didn't catch on that the question was seeking a loophole for NYC residents. Either way, as I read the text of the proposed law it was based on having a valid home state permit, so a non-wesident permit from some place like Florida or Utah would not help a NYC resident OR a Chicago resident to carry in NYC.

I'd like to see more on this. My understanding that those carrying per the LEOSA have no problems in NYC. Too many cities got burned violating that law.

If a non-resident permit will work in NYC, then there will be more Utah permits for NYC residents than in Utah.....

If the Feudal Lords of NYC have ignored FOPA (since 1986) and LEOSA (since 2004?) ..... just what makes anybody think anything passed/ruled on in Washington DC will mean anything? Short of throwing some of them in a Fed pen (yeah, like that's gonna happen!)?

It is the beginning of the end, friends, when the .gov is enforcing it's laws based on how easily the lawbreakers are to convince that they need to folow the law..... when the Public sees that they can ignore the law and get away with it just by sheer determination ...... that's the end of Civil Government.

Me, too. That would be a difficult policy to maintain, even for Bloomberg.

If this legislation passes, I would absolutely volunteer to be a test case. I think a publicized CCW march through Manhattan with a few thousand people would make the point very well.

Ref: the LEOSA, there is an outfit out of NJ made up of lawyers and cops that go around the country educating departments and officers (retired and otherwise) on the LEOSA.

Sheepdog Academy. Their website offers education material and court cases. No City or State has faired very well in violating the rights under the LEOSA.

I'm not sure, but it would seem to me if HR 882 passed local departments would find themselves in the same boat.

I don't want to be a test case. Being a former New Yorker I have absolutely no desire to spend any time in the Tombs or Rikers Island while the mess gets sorted out.

A night in the Tombs or Rikers would change that thought.

Before you do that, keep in mind how the NYPD has been treating unarmed "occupiers".

Bloomburg

You mean the Bloomburg that singlehandedly disregarded the NYC laws and allowed himself the right to serve a third term as King of NYC?

If this federal bill passes, the really interesting case is Illinois.

That state claims to have no CCW system, therefore they skip the whole "let visitors pack" thing.

Except they're lying. IL *does* have a CCW system - the most elitist, restrictive in the nation.

All you have to do is get elected to high office, such as a Chicago City Alderman, and you get what they *claim* is a "law enforcement power" to pack.

Except they're lying about that too. Check the IL constitution - go find it, and search on the word "separation". Yup - just like the federal constitution, there's a separation of powers clause that says you cannot be both legislative and executive branch.

Alderman is legislative, at a local level of government. So they're packing on a CCW system.

So, if this passes, yeah, we'll be able to pack in IL assuming we're willing to challenge their fraudulent "no CCW here" claims.

Maybe this will help. It's kept pretty well up to date. It's easy to work. Just follow the instructions.
