If you have a concealed carry permit then it is your responsibility to keep up on the laws. When you go to take the class the instructor will most likely inform you of this and will tell you where to find the information. Its not something that is ignored. One website in particular is handgunlaw.us , it shows the individual states and their reciprocity with other states. NY does not honor Indiana's permits and as stated above, you still couldnt carry in NYC if they did. Its really common knowledge among friearms enthusiasts and carry permit holders.

Agree 100% - Ignorance of the law is not an excuse.
That being said, when someone realizes they are in violation of a law and tries to fix it (assuming it is a 'victimless' crime, as in this case), they should get a walk, at most a slap on the wrist. But a felony conviction?!?
For quick reference when traveling I use this app on my Android: https://market.android.com/details?id=ryan.ccw Best ccw app I've found so far! I always check the laws of the states I will be visiting BEFORE going there.
ETA: I just read the story and it's not the one I was thinking it was. I assumed it was another one I just heard about. http://www.tennessean.com/article/20...-laws-hard-way
So this is two similar cases within the last couple of weeks!

I totally disagree with New York's and especially New York City's gun laws. Washington D.C. is just as bad. I just cant believe there is someone here on the east coast that didn't know that carrying in NYC is against the law. Maybe not the average person but we are talking about concealed carry permit holders.

Pretty sure almost everyone at least "heard" about the law after Buress shot himself in the leg in a NYC club

I haven't traveled to NY since I acquired my permit, so I've had no reason to check up on their laws. So no, I had no idea. And what does my location have to do with anything? The marine lived in Indiana, which is closer than GA and hell, he didn't know. I the article said he checked an online source for gun laws, but apparently that site had misinformation in its listing.
