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. > > > The real problem here is the cop that investigated the crime.

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> xponent Gun Cabinet Maru rob but i ain't got a hammer and i ain't got a pencil and i ain't got a lasso so i'm doing it the hard way like a post post-modern man _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
