Most of us that post here, and on other gun boards, are quite aware of the difficulties that are inherent with carry permits, as it impacts reciprocity between the various States.
Friends, we are a minority. Even among the population of carry permit holders.
Most people are not aware and do not know the vagaries of other State laws. Most people do think of their carry permit in the same terms as they think of their drivers licenses.
When thought of in that context, it is not surprising at all that people are going to get caught up in the criminal justice system for doing what they thought was right.
The average person might check their State website and see that a NY permit is accepted in their State. For the average person, that's as far as they will check: Seeing that a NY permit is accepted, in their State, the average person will make the natural (but erroneous) assumption that their permit is acceptable in NY.
Think I'm wrong? Go back and check the many, many threads we have, where someone asks those specific questions about traveling out of State with their permit.
