New York law question

am I best off leaving my sidearm at home?

Leave your gun at home for god sake and enjoy life.:D

It's a great feeling...walking around, unarmed, breathing the fresh air and thinking how wonderful life is...not worrying about how you will tactically react to homeless bums....:rolleyes:

This year...I went to Florida...WITHOUT A GUN...and I could legally carry there too....and...I survived!

I even went out...at NIGHT...UNARMED:eek::eek::eek:

It is possible you know...free thyself from the gunwoobie :)

What exactly would be the point of bringing it since it would have to be locked away in the trunk and unloaded as well?
 
Not every urgent circumstance requires a quick draw response. By that reasoning, shotguns locked on patrol cars consoles would be useless. I was 3500 miles from home when 9/11 hit. Remember the feeling when we didn't know if the attacks were over, or just beginning? I was kicking myself for leaving home unarmed. Of course it turn out I didn't need it. But it would have been a little comforting at the time.

WildAlaska,

With all due respect, having a p3at in my pocket is not exactly a ball and chain experience. I don't react tactically to bums, unless smiling at them and shrugging counts. I've never even considered drawing the firearm I'm usually carrying and I'm probably a lot less alert than I should be. However, my coat doesn't hang right with a wallet in one side and nothing in the other - that's the real reason I was asking. I actually stuck a GPS in there to even things out for the trip - it's the price of having a slight OCD.

If anyone's curious, NY does kind of suck. I went with a friend to pick up a new car for her. We were stopped twice by the police on the way home even though she had a visible temp tag. They don't let you play with radar detectors OR guns, and the local wine is largely abrasive and sour. There are more tolls than drivers on 90. No bums in the western part of the state, at least.
 
Tactics and one's opinion of various states' wine is off topic from the OP.

Has the question been asked and answered? Anything new on the specific topic? This is a hint from an old time consumer of Taylor's Lake Country Red.
