That list is pretty short. Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Wisconsin and Montana do not issue to nonresidents. Iowa issues to nonresidents based on need (like NJ). They are not shall issue to nonresidents. Indiana issues only to nonresidents who work or have a business in Indiana. North Dakota will issue to residents and nonresidents but you must go there for the training and go there to renew.

So why did the NYSP come out and essentially say because they didn't pass the law, they will enforce it and not feel guilty about it? To me it seems like all this talk about how people will stand up to big bad legislators ain't gonna fly because the cops will still lock up people. So you may as well sit down and eat your shit sandwich because the 2A clearly is being legislated away and as long as the right people get exemptions, the unjust laws will stand. And stupidly we keep agreeing to these exemptions (not just for LEOs) thinking they are baby steps towards dully recognizing the 2A or thinking that it improves safety.

It's inconsistent with her campaign ads which say that people disqualified from obtaining a PA LTCF get one out of state and carry in PA. So even though we are affected, we aren't who they are going after. Yes there's a small chance she could target Utah but it seems unlikely given that the Utah law accomplishes the same.

If that was the case they'd ban or restrict fragmenting ammo. They don't.

Because they can and because they could say they banned "cop killer" ammo.

I could name names but I would rather not call out specific people.

Someone I know in Connecticut was talking to a young trooper about the laws. The trooper's response was, "what do I care, I get an exemption." This is the problem I have with law enforcement exemptions in ANY gun laws. And yes, this includes CCW laws like LEOSA and NJ's right to carry for retired officers. Sure, LEOs have dangers on the job and outside the job where they need to carry firearms. Nobody is saying they shouldn't be able to carry. But so should we, because the 2nd amendment and the right to keep and bear arms is not about need. I believe if everyone was subjected to the same laws there'd be more incentive to oppose unjust and unconstitutional laws by those charged with enforcing them. BUT the exemptions are there, and apparently they are serving their purpose in keeping one set of people affected by bad laws while others get a pass. So as long as they aren't affected by the laws they have little incentive to oppose them.

You will encounter some LEO harrassment but that's mostly when some idiot decides to call 911 and phone you in. They are trained on encountering civilians who open carry and the local police chiefs get a bulletin on it. Nothing to worry about.

Thankfully she is not the legislature and the Governor.

Nobody ever said doing the right thing and defending the constitution and 2nd amendment was easy.

It's the pay, benefits and career. Screw the constitution.

It's a trick to get you to sign up for their newsletter, IMHO.

What if only the poll workers have the right to vote, because they're determined to be qualified to handle ballots in public? That's pretty much what we have now.

They want my email address. No thanks.

Yeah more and more it's looking like status quo will reign. I predict Illinois legislators are jumping for joy right now. They can put CCW on the books but make it like NJ. So they have CCW on the books to satisfy the courts but in practice never issue. And after listening to Gura put forth convincing arguments yet the courts STILL rule against us, I am convinced the whole thing is a farce.

Well eff me today. Sorry to curse but today is one day in a blue moon I decided to take the bus in to work... now I'm scared shitless to take the bus back home if rumors of a coordinated attack are true. At the very least it's going to be a security nightmare at port authority terminal. Wish me luck. Also prayers for the victims, families, first responders.

The religion of peace? No way.

Absolutely this!!!

Nothing. Only that the SCOTUS denied cert of the NY decision.

I don't think that's entirely correct. Incandescents give off a continuous, even spectrum of light whereas CFLs and other fluorescent lights have concentrated peaks of intensity in various parts of the spectrum. This leads to things like color casts when photographing under CFLs. To make the light appear more natural the coating in the bulb is blended with different phosphors to create a more natural looking light. But still, it is not like natural light or even an incandescent bulbs. LEDs are closer to incandescent though. See more info here: http://web.ncf.ca/jim/misc/cfl/

Albanian, you are talking like a rational person, unfortunately the antis aren't.

^^^^^^^^^^ True dat

The law is silent on open carry. No law against it so it's legal.

There's less of a chance of Utah suffering the same fate as FL, AZ or VA because: Utah is recognized by statute. FL, AZ, VA are not. Utah does not issue permits to PA residents unless they have a PA permit already. This effectively kills the "Florida loophole" without harming us.
