You have to understand the enviromental idiom concerning weapons over here.
Gun ownership is common. So common in fact that every loon already has one,
and they dont have to get a permit to do so. All that is required is a
criminal background check. This law in Brooklyn is very unusual in that it
appears to be a criminal offence and that a cop would actually enforce it.

That idiom appears to be different here too. Over here an "honest" cop is
unlikely to enforce a law like that one in a situation where it appears to
conflict with the *spirit* of the second amendment, regardless of the letter
of the local law.

Of course everyone knows that people in New York are all commies.<G>
