Sena Hannity is permitted to carry a hand gun around Long Island, you're OK despite it would be almost impossible for you to get one even for your house?

So it would be Ok for California to dump that annoying free speech? Or maybe ditch the 4th amendment too, I'm sure it would make things easier for law enforcement to just ignore any rights against illegal search and seizure.

This has been promoted by the NRA and it appears they have their backers in the house. Who says congress doesn't do anything about mass killings, now we have their answer, more guns.


True. I wonder if the GOP would be ok with solving the illegal immigrant problem by adding MORE illegals

Where did I advocate not being aware of other states laws?

Without a permit that gun would have to be properly secured in the car while traveling with it and if you wanted to carry without permit you can open carry, other than that there is really no restrictions.
Thing is, if you're traveling and go through some of the more backwards, eastern states, you are a felon even if you keep your gun locked up and do not carry (open or concealed). I'd like to go back to NY to visit friends I grew up with. But even if I keep it locked on my bike-there is no way I can legally do so. I CAN ride straight through the state with it locked up (as long as my destination is a state where it's legal)...assuming I am up on the particular whim of that state. Even under the standards of the FOPA, NY could still come after me with a normal capacity magazine. And if I stop and visit, I'm SOL either way.

NY, MA, NJ, IL, CA and a few other states need signs at the borders. Welcome to the Soviet Union-set your clocks back 100 years.

They are handing them out to illegals but the morons think DLs in the hands of people they don't know are ok. They are more likely to get run over in a cross walk than shot on a day to day basis.

I am a gun owner.
States rights only cover things NOT mentioned in the constitution. Do states have the right to interpret free speech as they wish?
