The only people I knew in NYC that carried firearms legally were restaurant owners. The irony there is that it is ok to try and protect your money, but not your life.

Franc – You have no idea what you are talking about. It only applies to states that issue CCW or LTC permits.

So the right to carry a concealed weapon should carry to a state that doesn’t provide that right because states’ rights would trump.

Is that what you’re saying. So conversely are you saying that you would agree that DOMA should be struck down because if a state like Massachusetts has gay marriage it won’t transfer to a state like Florida because gay marriage is illegal in its constitution?

The GOP advocates of Bill S, 845 are thus hypocrites.

Schumer is typical of those who have been running New York State to their own whims, and feel the rest of the country should do the same. People of his ilk are what forced me to leave that state, never again looking back to their tyrannical rules for the sake of the “city”

The police are only their to clean up the mess, not prevent it from happening. They have no desire or responsibility to protect you under any circumstances. In fact, they are there to arrest you and incarcerate you if they have figure a way to pull it off. “protect and serve” is utter fallacy.

What makes Schumer so special that he can carry a handgun in NYC , and other LAW ABIDING citizens cannot? NYC tourism is a joke as well. Come to NYC so our criminals can rob you without fear of retaliation, since you can’t carry any self defense weapons.

And this from a state where if a citizen is issued a carry permit in the state capitol of Albany, it is worthless in NYC.

NYC is like it’s own country within a state, and somehow seems to dictate how the state will be governed.

To obtain a carry permit in NYC you must have money or influence. It has nothing to do with the need to protect yourself or your family.

I don’t think that Mr. Shumer needs to worry about someone from the midwest with a carry permit representing a threat in Central Park or Eisenhower Park.

The threat generally resides in NYC! Wake up NY!

His actions as a senator not only threaten New Yorkers, but ALL of America.

This is not just a local streets jobs thing,its our combined safety thingee.

Like wise,my senators effect all New Yorkers too. Has any one noticed how (California) Pelosi has effected all of America.

We need to pay attention beyond our state borders ,Schumer does.

Can someone answer a question?? Does this Schumer guy have armed agents on his protection detail??

And if so, how safe would he feel if they were not armed?? If he has armed agents to protect him, how comes he does not want the people he represents to be armed.

So they can protect themselves. What is good for the Goose should also be good for the Gander.

I think it is time for New York residents to band together and get rid of this obstructionist Senator.

He is of his own considered opinion that he knows what’s best for New York and ignores any input that is not of his own thinking.

He has forgotten that he is in place to represent all of the people of New York.

He was voted in, he should be voted out.
