New York has no law restricting the open carrying of long guns in public. https://giffords.org/lawcenter/state-laws/open-carry-in-new-york/ You can’t carry a long gun and ammunition (even if the gun is unloaded), but you can carry a long gun openly. |
Oh boy that law sure did stop him didn’t it. |

What would YOU do? Confront him? Have you ever been in such a situation? I was in Harris Teeter a couple of weeks ago. A young man wearing a handgun came in and was using the atm or something.

Deciding you’re not going to engage a potentially mentally unstable, armed person is a normal act of self-preservation. |
