i dont agree with NY laws at all but I thought it was common knowledge that you cant take your handgun into the city. ignorance of the law is no excuse, no matter what your opinion of said law may be.

Its kind of dumb to have a law like this with no stipulation for someone trying to be responsible. OK, ignorance is not a great excuse, but mistakes happen. They're should be a clause that allows willing forfeiture/turn-in of the firearm from someone who unknowingly breaks the law and wants to make it right by handing in their gun. As it stands, someone who willingly tries to turn in their firearm gets a mandatory 2 year minimum prison sentence??? That right there is BS.
New York doesn't recognize any other states pistol permits. I thought everyone knew that. Not only that, but I have a full unrestricted concealed pistol permit for the state of NY and I'm not even allowed to conceal in NY City. I dont agree with any of the above, but think it is necessary for individuals to really look into out of state laws before carrying out of state.

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.
