Cleanup and Citations

Regional/Cultural Differences

There were {{citation needed}} tags all over the place here; many of them asking for citations for very matter of fact/colloquial things that did not need a citaion. The statement regarding "a friend in Suffolk County" not being able to carry in his hometown while a friend from a "gun friendlier" county upstate could does not require a citation as it is the letter of the law. -Deathsythe (talk) 13:15, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Application

For the "Cities with stricter laws include Albany, Buffalo, Rochester and New York City" statement, I do not feel like a citation is needed there, however a link to a subsection regarding the specific laws for those jurisdictions is in order. An expansion of the Regional/Cultural Differences section to highlight these specifics should suffice. -Deathsythe (talk) 13:15, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Newark airport

Newark airport, while it is part of the NYC metro area, falls under NJ law. I think it should be more clear that Mr. Revell was arrested due to NJ laws regarding illegal possession and not NY laws. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rjairam (talk • contribs) 17:07, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Edit The Newark Airport sould not even be mentioned. You cannot use an even in New Jersey as an example of the problems in NY law.

New Article - Gun Laws in NYC

Because of the vast contrast between the rest of the state and NYC, it may be viable that we create Gun Laws in New York City. This will help fabricate a cleanup of this article, as well as help maintain the seperation between the NYC jurisdiction and the rest of the state regarding gun laws. -Deathsythe (talk) 13:15, 27 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Westchester Case

As you all may know Alan Gura has taken up the cause alongside the Second Amendment Foundation to challenge NY's restrictions on CCW licenses. This issue is very important to the article, and deserves a section most likely. Below is a list of potential references for us to work with.

Granted, a lot of the information is from the blogosphere, but the brief itself should provide enough of a WP:RS RS to support inclusion.

Sullivan Act

It looks like the Sullivan Act is not mentioned in this article. Probably it should be, since it was a key early gun control law in New York. I'm not sure of the best way to talk about it in the article, and in fact I'm not sure how much of it is still in effect, but I thought I'd mention it. — Mudwater^(Talk) 04:01, 13 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
