so what do i do? give up my great job in a uncertain market to move to another state? away from family and friends? just not in the cards right now. the NY handgun laws are not any worse than other states. we can still own them, buy them from other residents, buy from out of state and at least in my county have it on my permit and in my possession the same day. we are a concealed carry state. im not standing up for NY's way of doing things just saying it works for me.
