New York – -(Ammoland.com)- Why are law-abiding, licensed gun owners who follow laws and procedures being jailed in New York?
Reason TV’s John Stossel finds that every week gun owners, legally licensed by other states, are being arrested in New York airports despite correctly following the procedures of the TSA and airlines.
One such traveler, Avi Wolf, was charged for having an empty, plastic magazine in his bag. He didn’t have the gun or bullets — just the magazine, which he had forewarned the TSA about.
“I’m telling them … I have a magazine here. It’s empty, no bullets,” Wolf said. “Next thing I know they’re pulling me over to the side, they’re like, ‘Do you know what you have in your bag?!’ I know what I have in my bag, I told you what I have in my bag.”
Wolf spent a day in jail and $15,000 in legal fees, which resulted in plea bargaining a felony charge down to “public disorder.”

The Left-“Libertarian” deluge-immigration and dhimmigration policies to which folks like John Stossel, Grover Norquist, CATO, “Reason”, and The “Independent” Institute subscribe are achieving what “Democrats” and foreign totalitarian enemies such as fascists and communists could never have practically dreamed of actually doing: 1. Overwhelming the voting control of the relatively conservative native-born U.S. citizen. Example: See California. 2. Permanent supermajority of anti-gun “Democrats” in all branches of the federal government and a supermajority of the states. Example: See California. 3. Direct and indirect massive redistribution of wealth and income. See California. 4. Global government. The inevitable result. In other words,… Read more »
Good job Stossel (D.A. Jack Ryan “sadistic bully”). This D.A. Ryan (probably related to the lackey Paul Ryan running the House) and the liberal lawmaker hierarchy in NYC and NYS have been meeting solely to formulate plans to challenge and destroy Reciprocity if it were to pass as law. S446 (the lesser bill) still sits at 37 Republican Senators; hope Senator Cornyn pushes this bill before year end so the coward two-faced double crossers who cast nay votes are exposed. HR38 is now at 208; but the crooked double crosser senate cowards who have been serving Trump up to the… Read more »
Be like me and refuse to fly any where close to New York! Let 20 or 30 million people refuse to change planes in New York or New Jersey and you will see the affect damn fast!
NY, NJ, CT, & CA are all liberal socialist-minded, communist states where the elite have guns and the typical law-abiding citizens go directly to jail regardless of their State of origin and accompanying permits and licenses. This is the reason why we need a bill that defines “Constitutional Carry that incorporates “National Reciprocity,” combining all rights and priveledges to any law-abiding citizens holding a valid permit or license to have a loaded gun on his or her person in any State of the Union without limitations to local jurisdictions safe zones et al. The second amendment is clear and valid,… Read more »
You couldn’t pay me to visit New York.
Especially NYC. Crooked state just like California and New Jersey
Who the F wants to go to New York
Avi should have responded, “Yes, I have a paperweight?” Boycott New York City.
Andy, tsa and city police officers are two entirely different agencies. Wishing death on any officer is idiotic. Next time you need assistance, call your local crack dealer. Have a great day.
No. The cops are doing their job enforcing the laws that the duly elected RULERS wrote in the state legislature and signed by the governor. The demokkkrats are responsible for the infringement of our fundamental Constitutional right to keep and BEAR arms.
What happened to the COMMON SENSE DISCRETION of the people who first interact with these LAW ABIDING Individuals??? Where is the “Spirit of the law”? Communist new york is NOT a place to travel through.
