This Is How Horrible New York Is On Gun Rights
BY Herschel Smith

The case arose before Bruen, when New York required a showing of special need to get a license to carry a gun for self-defense. The petitioner had argued that she needed a gun because she and her husband would often carry substantial sums of cash for business, but the New York licensing authorities responded that she “failed to explain why her stated self-defense needs were not already adequately and independently addressed by her husband’s recent acquisition of an unrestricted concealed carry license.”
The New York intermediate appellate court rejected that logic (Matter of DiPerna-Gillen v. Ryba, decided Thursday in an opinion by Justice Stan Prizker, joined by Presiding Justice Elizabeth Garry and Justices Michael Lynch, Molly Reynolds Fitzgerald and Eddie McShan). The court’s main point was that, given the decision in Bruen, which came down while the appeal was pending, petitioner had a constitutionally protected right to carry, even without a showing of special need.
What a bunch of jerks. They would force the husband to accompany the wife everywhere she went in order to obtain means of self defense, which might be a good idea at times, but comports more with Islamic culture than it does with Christianity.

It’s a bill of explaining why adequately. Your rights mean nothing.

New York is worse AFTER Bruen — by an order of magnitude — than it was before Bruen.
Before Bruen, if you were awarded a discretionary permit with restrictions and for “just cause” by the State, if you were caught carrying outside of restrictions it was an administrative infraction, not a criminal one. The permitting officer could then revoke your license if he so chose, and you would have to forfeit your handguns. But you were not a “prohibited person,” so if you left the shithole for a free state you were able to enjoy your full rights.
Post-Bruen, it is a felony to carry on any and all government property (except game lands) and ALL private property that does not have signage explicitly welcoming firearms, even if you have a so-called “unrestricted” permit. In other words, if you are heading from your home to the range and you stop for gas, you are committing a felony. It is now literally a felony to carry in 99% (or more) of the state. The courts have allowed the State to enforce this for the past nine months.
If you are busted for this felony, you will be disarmed for life in any and all jurisdictions.
To say that New York is “tyrannical” is a gross understatement. It is punitive, vindictive and sadistic. You have zero gun “rights” in New York and the government absolutely DGAF what the Supreme Court or anyone else says.
It is no exaggeration to say that the only way that Heller and Bruen will be respected in New York is the same way that Eisenhower enforced Brown v. Board at Little Rock High in 1957 — by sending in the 101st Airborne with bayonets fixed.
I’m not kidding. It’s that bad.

This incident again proves that the political left – in spite of all their blather about women’s rights, empowerment and feminism and all of that – do not care one whit about the fate of real women. Especially women not of the political left.
New York is as bad as Illinois…. in Chicago, for literally decades, the powers-that-be would rather vulnerable and defenseless women be raped and strangled with her own panty hose in a dark and deserted alley by some thug than give her a proven means of self-defense, namely “The Great Equalizer” – a handgun to keep in her purse or on her person.
And yet these controllers have the unmitigated gall to say that they “care about women”!? And some of the electorate believes them!

It’s not just the “powers-that-be, the liberal women voters who put them in power would rather be raped and strangled than CCW.

This is what happens when free men are reduced to begging permission.
The permitting “authority” believes it is their obligation to find a way to say “No”.

-Everyone who thinks they live in a “free” state… but has an SBR, a can, or a fun switch should remember this.
