Interesting story on how New York deals with "citizens" right to self defense.

First, I had to read 60 pages of instructions about irrelevant things like "metal knuckle knives" and "kung fu stars," fill out a confusing 17-page form, get it notarized and then go in person to police headquarters.

FWIW New York is run entirely by the democrat party.

Yes it has been told before. In this article, he introduces the story again by saying

I once tried to get a carry permit in New York

As in a long time ago, but I guess it never hurts to re-tell the story.

OP here is the story from 2016 if you want more info

Even the sentient mustache that calls itself John Stossel has limits on its powers.

Considering the New York elected a DA who called us "Terrorists" I am not too surprised that they do not like citizens lawfully defending themselves against the protected criminal class.

Periodically it's a good idea to evaluate ones bucket list.
On mine was shopping 5th avenue, seeing Empire state building, Times Square,Carnegie hall and the New York Symphony.
Now I would refuse a contest win that gave all expense paid trip . Same with Boston and the entire state .

Well, you are talking about New York, whose original ban on firearms led to the infamous "sharpened screwdriver" self defense technique...

5th Avenue... Really? :-)
