I believe what Jan is referring to is that it is HARD to get a gun here. Obtaining a permit to legally carry as a civilian in NYC is next to impossible unless you're related to someone. It's almost as difficult to get one in the rest of the state too.
You won't hear me objecting, either. (Sorry Jan... we'll just have to agree to disagree.) :) I know how to load/aim/fire a rifle, shotgun, handgun and crossbow. I plan to teach my kids the same thing when they hit a certain age. But I won't allow firearms in my house.
At some point a few months back I posted info on NY's gun laws. If I have it archived and you'd like me to repost, let me know.
