There is a part of me that wants to move to NYC.

[was_peacemaker]

Something about mystic of the place. The interaction with all those people and all that culture. But at the same time I wonder if I could own a gun there having a DWI in my past. Would I be able to get a CCW in New York City? Would I be able to bring my riot shotgun, SKS even? I hear the knife carry laws are strict and I am assuming that open carry would get me in hot water.

So how bad are the gun laws in NYC? From what I hear as far as music and art go Manhattan is the place to be. There is a part of me that wants to visit but at the same time I am afraid I will be stuck in some studio apartment unarmed and living in a police state.

[ltorlo64]

Visiting NYC is one thing, living there is another. It is like me living in DC. I tell people I am enjoying it a lot, and I can't wait to leave!

As for firearms laws, they just passed some of the stupidest laws in the country, just ask Krupski. You will not be able to take a SKS, probably not the riot shotgun as it holds too many rounds. Your Berretta will be problematic as well. As for CCW, NYC is one of those places where you have to show a reason to carry, the right guaranteed by the Constitution is not enough.

There are reasons why more people are moving out of NYC than are moving into it.

Its a disgusting, smelly, expensive, ant farm full of liberals.

Are you insane?

CCW in NYC? :yeah:

Shotgun? :yeah:

Knife? :yeah:

Open carry? :yeah:

Read your own last sentence.

New York State is the 100% worst state in the union. And New York CITY is the reason.

In NY CITY you can't get a CCW unless you suck the governor's dick. Several times.

The rest of the state is OK as far as getting a CCW (if you don't mind having most everything you own called an "assault weapon"). :thumbsdown:

I live near the border and can back this up. 100% of the people I know from 'up north' hate the gov. and most would move only a mile or two just to cross the border if they weren't locked in hard. The main reasons are taxation and weapons laws.....and remember, it is FAR worse in NYC.

You feeling okay??
Something must be wrong to be thinking about moving THERE

[Altarboy]

I've been there many times, always driving a rig. Looks like a great place to visit if you had a friend there. Otherwise, you would most likely loose your mind. The Woody Allen movies and Friends, and Seinfeld New York personality is a lie. It's a mean ugly place mostly. And the project housing , wow. Their projects go on for miles-we're talking the ghetto.

The annoying thing is that people who don't know think New York STATE and New York CITY are the same thing. They think all of NY is concrete, tall buildings, taxi cabs and nasty people.

Only NY CITY is like that. The rest of NY (except for small areas around larger cities) is "red state" rural type land and rural type people or small, quiet suburban neighborhoods.

NY CITY consumes most of NY resources (i.e. tax dollars) and because of their population density, they get most of NY's vote (and they're all flaming liberal democrats).

New York STATE would be a red state if NYC could be chopped off and made into it's own shithole... um I mean state.

Then, the only thing that would suck about NY would be the weather.......

Look up websites that rank states by standard of living, cost of living, personal freedoms, anything you want and NY is ALWAYS at the very bottom (or in the case of cost of living, at the very top).



(click the quote for the link)

Analysis New York is by far the least free state in the Union. It is therefore no surprise that New York residents have been heading for the exits: 9.0 percent of the state’s 2000 population, on net, left the state for another state between 2000 and 2011, the highest such figure in the nation.

A few years ago I had no idea how nice upstate was- I was 'one of those people'. When we decided to move east my wife pushed hard to move to the finger lakes. Thank GOD I knew enough to put my foot down over that!

[Gunner1558]

Aside from the slimy POS governor, and the libtard sponges that re-elect people like him, what do you expect to find in NYC that you couldn't find in any other large city in thyis nation.

I'm locked into this lousy state, and if I could, I would live almost anywhere else in the country. The only thing the state has going for it is Niagara Falls, and if you cross any of the bridges into Canada, Niagara Falls Ontario is so much cleaner and has so much more to offer, and is just better overall, that it shames me to have anything to do with the welfare, tax and spend side.

Years ago I was offered a ccw for the city, if I wanted to make a $500.00 donation to the dimocrap party. I can carry almost anywhere in the country, but don't even think of open carry in new york state.

If you are really interested in what the city is like, visit for a weekend, but I would suggest no longer. We used to say there was a quiz show offering first prize as a week in NYC, second prize was two weeks in NYC. Otherwise if you don't live where you have a septic tank, go to a friend who has one and lif the lid. It will be cleaner than a lot of the city.

Stay away, just stay away!

[jet3534]

Two things I have noticed about NYC is the extremely poor air quality and the large number of scum one encounters. The more liberal you are the better you will like NYC.

I was stationed in Saratoga Springs for about 6 months in 1983 for school. It was beautiful and I really enjoyed it. I went back this last year to the same place for business and it hadn't changed much. I like the area, hate the lack of freedom, so when I retire it won't be there.

As for the large cities driving the whole state in a liberal direction, it is the same everywhere. In Washington, if you get rid of Seattle/Tacoma we become a conservative, freedom loving, hard working, self-sufficient state. With those two cities suddenly you get a huge chunk of people that think other people's hard earned money somehow is owed to them.

Thats the socialist plan for every state in America. Flood the cities with enough gov dependants to steal the election.

No shit. Between voter fraud and them buying votes with our tax dollars we're pretty much screwed. But hey, if we become a socialist nation does that mean we can start getting cubans again?

You know, I've been thinking about that a lot here of late. I'm not so sure I wouldn't rather see it kept in place for awhile longer.

I dunno maybe the thing is I would like to spend sometime checking out the music scene. Lots of studios, musicians, places to play and such. From a musicians point of view it would seem like an awesome place to live. I had some friends move there and I think that aspect they enjoy...but they weren't gun owners so I guess the strictness there didn't bother them. Maybe I just need to visit the place for a week or two and get it out of my system. One thing I was looking at online that I noticed is how expensive that place is. I have always heard things were higher there...but just a visit would run the wallet dry.

I don't understand where you suddenly got the idea that NYC has some sort of "mystique". It doesn't. It's all cold, impersonal concrete, no grass or trees, tall buildings, nasty people walking way too fast and bumping into each other, cab drivers incessantly swearing and blowing their horns and dirty, choking, eye burning air pollution.

I guarantee you... one visit to NYC will once and forever cure you of your imagined mystique.

But... do what you want. Just get that damned hair cut first or the NYPD will be all over you with "stop and frisk".

I think today's "music" conforms to some of the communist plans for a takeover of America:



22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."


Today's "music" (a.k.a. noise) is shapeless, awkward, repulsive and meaningless.
