No. NY is a very anti-gun state, with the most restrictive gun control laws within NYC limits.

I`m not certain but I believe it`s ok to keep guns in your home. It`s the cowboy wannabes that aren`t tolerated.

That's horrible, I hope Facebook deletes their accounts.

Default Looters 'swipe' up the mess in chaos zones (NYC: Post-Sandy Looting Starting)

And so it begins.

Quote:
Hurricane Sandy brought out the worst yesterday in some sleazy New Yorkers, who looted stores and homes across the city.

Some posed as Con Ed workers to dupe their victims.

Police arrested more than a dozen looters in the Rockaways and Coney Island, which had been evacuated, and stood guard outside ravaged stores at the South Street Seaport. “This morning when they told us the water receded, I walked back to the house to feed [my pets],” said Eric Martine, 33, a cabby who lives in Brooklyn’s Gerritsen Beach. “Guys were looting, pretending they were Con Ed and holding people up. It was sick.” Residents said police warned them to beware of crooks pretending to be utility workers...

This was the FIRST thing I thought about.. when they said Sandy was headed for NY and NJ.

There will always be creeps... that will take advantage of other people's loss and suffering, by stealing/damaging property..

And if you pay close attention, you'll find that CBS, NBC, CNN, ABC don't know about any looting either!

Even that article tries to make it sound like an isolated incident but I'm not sure?

The following mentions Long Island and other areas.
