“The appalling House vote for concealed carry reciprocity puts all New Yorkers at risk. This legislation would let individuals from out-of-state convicted of certain crimes carry hidden, loaded weapons in New York, in violation of New York’s much better, safer law. Only the NRA could propose something so ill-considered, dangerous and vile. New York passed the strongest gun safety measures in the country, and instead of joining the fight against senseless gun violence, Washington is trying to make New York and the rest of the nation less safe.” – Statement from Governor Andrew M. Cuomo on the Passage of the House Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill [via governor.ny.gov]
Liberals are so afraid of guns! It’s been said before, I have NEVER seen a gun jump up and do ANYTHING. Criminals will do what they want, so no law will stop them. Got it?
We have the Constitution which is the foundation upon which all of our system of laws is based. Everything in the Constitution, as it was written and has been legally amended in accordance with Article V. thereof, is law, period!
The Second Amendment was included for our protection from tyranny by those in government who have become addicted to ill-gotten gains they have realized by showing favoritism to special interests that pad their bank accounts with heaps of cash in return for moving legislation, prepared by special interests, through Congress for the benefit of those special interests, not for the country and/or the people.
The Second Amendment cannot be changed or altered in any way by anyone, any body, at any time or for any reason. It supports our natural right to preserve and protect our lives and the way we live from all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
We all have the duty for owning and knowing how to safely use the best firearms we can use effectively for that purpose. We should own arms that are equally as effective as those owned by our government should we come to a point where it is the general consensus government has run amok of the Constitution.
Cuomo is far left and that ideology believes that government must be the ultimate power in control of everyone and everything at all times. The best way to affect control is to disarm those you are want to control so they cannot resist being controlled That kind of control use tyranny to affect its ideology. That is exactly why we have the Second Amendment, so we can protect ourselves from just that kind of control.
Unfortunately for Andy, facts are not on his side as passage of conceal carry and the increase in permits being issued has not shown an increase in crime but rather, a decrease.
Whenever I read articles or statements by anti-gun people I notice that they are always long on hyperbole and false facts. Personally if I ever find myself needing to lie to make my point, I hope I’d simply realize that I didn’t have a valid point. Scare tactics and lies are not necessary if you have a valid position.
I’m the same way, Mike. I’m no angel, but I do consider myself an honorable man with a genuine interest in seeking the truth and a commitment to legitimate principles. It would be easy for someone adept at wordplay and logic, with even just a passing familiarity of the topic at hand, to weave together a persuasive tapestry of sophistry. That’s even before getting into the outright lies and exaggerations.
However, if you find yourself having to engage in such tactics to make your points, to win the debate, or to pass a bill, then that’s a huge red flag that you’re probably on the wrong side of the issue to begin with and you should probably reevaluate your position. That was the final, insurmountable obstacle to my pursuing a career in law: I didn’t want to go around lying, denying, and screwing people out of money every day, just because I could make stronger arguments out of weaker materials than they could.
“…convicted of certain crimes…”
Which crimes would those be, that are so nefarious that those convicted of them would put NY residents at risk if they were carrying a gun, yet mild enough to pose no risk if they weren’t?
Speeding, illegal parking, jaywalking, etc. Very dangerous people, those illegal parkers.
NY crimes – owning a gun, owning a magazine, carrying a gun. BS that is NOT illegal in a free state only illegal in marxist progtard land.
It’s relatively easy to get a carry license in the upstate and western counties of NY. Those folks can carry on Long Island, but I am limited to to–and-from the range only. I’ll have to carry with my UT license if this passes.
Next up: New Yorkers complain about the non-violent misdemeanor loophole.
Well, to be fair, misdemeanor non-domestic assault is not a disqualifying conviction under federal law, but it may be under New York law. Other than that, you are absolutely right.
I’m not well versed in what are and are not disqualifying offenses in NY but, I’m sure that if ole Gov Cuomo has a say, it will include building code violations and improperly mowed lawns.
Who you callin’ “Snowflake”?
NY letting its residents leave to visit other states does more to increase the crime in those other states than gun owners visiting NY.
Build a wall Cuomo. I’ll chip in a few bucks.
If it weren’t for shitheads from NY, CT and MA NH would be literally crime free.
Don’t worry Andy, freedom may seem scary at first but pride in personal independence will soon replace that.
“….concealed carry reciprocity puts all New Yorkers at risk.”
Good.
Murder in the United States by state (2015, Wikipedia):
Arizona– no permit to own, open carry, conceal w/o permit: 309
New York– permit required to own pistols or long guns (city), assault weapon ban: 609
Clearly this is working out well for you, Cuomo.
pushing the 6.5 , this caliber has nothing on the 6mm except heavier bullets
Empty, pointless, misleading rhetoric: If you are convicted of “certain crimes” it is ALREADY ILLEGAL for said individuals to possess/carry. Regardless, laws are obviously irrelevant to CRIMINALS, so what makes Cuomo think they would bother to obey some New York laws over others?
The fact that she is still strongly supported by the Democratic Party is mortifying. Modern day Democrats are the enemies of truth and freedom. I thank God that Hillary was not elected, since these two treasonous twits are peas in a pod. They couldn’t wait to open the borders and import more lefties, slackers, and terroirists. Personally, I am an Independent, but can’t find any Democrats currently worth supporting.
There are also plenty of conservatives in California. We are simply outnumbered by liberal progressives and illegals. Since our state has no voter ID (It’s “racist”), Californians and Mexicans can vote early and vote often.
Love my PCR which is at Cajun Gun Works for the Defensive Carry Package & thin aluminum grips. Put TruGlow Pro sited on it before it left.

Anything “Il Duce” says about guns or gun owners should be ignored.
“The appalling House vote for concealed carry reciprocity puts all violent New York criminals at risk.” FIFY.
That was a fun article to read. I love it when someone goes off the conventional path and comes up with a realky nice looking build that makes sense. And you have done this with the Marlin 30-30. Y’all made a very nice looking lever action. If you care to share your exact parts list along with pricing I am sure some other shooters(like myself) would love to build the exact rifle. The wood furniture is beautiful. Thanks for the great article. God Bless
Nope. States don’t have those rights. Full faith and credit is in the Constitution, and concealed carry reciprocity is just enforcing that Constitutional law in the proper Constitutional role of the federal government. States have rights against the federal government, but not against the people, and denying out-of-state concealed carry is against the people, not the federal government.
Well, yes, I did crap my pants. What’s it to you?
“…puts all New Yorkers at risk”
No.
Just no, Mr Cuomo. Plain and simple no.
Dear Sarah,

I havent seen this much hand wringing from the left since The Orange Emperor/Great Orange Wrecking Ball won. Joy.????
with everything the landowner and visiting dads had brought laid out on the picnic tables for all to choose from. a blazing grill, a roaring bonfire and coolers stuffed with frosty goodness.
not a kid in the group that doesn’t still look forward to these outings.
The biggest problem with my shooting is not having enough time or money. i feel like i speak for us all.
Also i might have too much variety and spend too much time trying to be proficient with all of my collection, instead of trying to master a single gun.
Started my daughter out on a Ruger 10/22 and then took her to an Appleseed shoot.

What is a “44-40 rimfire”?
.25 ACP and .30 Mauser, because they fit elegant weapons, for a more civilized age.
My kids was BB gun. My dog used a shotgun.
Didn’t know people convicted of crimes got licenses from their state to carry. I though criminals just carried without licenses. Like in New York.
Cuomo is a despicable pol just like his father was.
While the homicide rate for Australia (and England) are not as high as the United States, one fun fact is that assaults and rapes are more frequent in Australia and England than the United States – nearly twice as high for some crimes. So, where does that leave us?
Yep. Good idea to avoid naked guys with pitchforks too.
This is why I carry 20/24/7. My house guns always within reach. Since Im single no need to keep things locked away.
Funny, I’ve run those numbers as provided in the FBI Uniform Crime Report before and saw no bump in homicides circa 2004, when the Assault Weapons band Sunsetted, that time.
Gun Control DOESN’T work in Dingostan. There are TONS of “illegal” firearms regardless of the Aussie’s kangaroo gun laws. We all have the right to bear arms but the USA just has a constitutional amendment protecting said right. Things are absurd with all aspects of owning and making firearms in The Land of the Boomerang.
Don’t be a victim.
Are they looking to distribute in the UK at all?
