For example, he seems to assume that since Johnson plays for NY, that he must be a NY resident and therefor need to register his guns there.<br /> I addressed both possibilities. Depending on where you live in NY, it can either be easy or impossible to get a carry permit. <br />ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-14669488290258205382015-01-15T14:17:46.073+01:002015-01-15T14:17:46.073+01:00Racial profiling is my bet.

If it was registered in NY, how did he get the gun to Florida without breaking other rules along the way?"<br /><br /> I don't follow football much, but my first thought was that he has a carry permit and one article I saw said that the officer that pulled him over saw the gun on the floor of the car between his feet.<br /> Most states require firearms to be stored properly when in a car. Unloaded,cased,etc. If you have a permit, it doesn't apply as long as you control the firearm. In Florida, you can be cited if your firearm is visible, something that Minnesota avoided by not requiring concealment.<br /> I'm not really sure if he's a resident of NY or Florida. He works in NY, and most article refers to native Florida of hometown of Orlando. If he is a NY resident, depending on where he lives, he could possibly easily get a carry permit, or he could have a non-resident Florida carry permit.<br /> Even without a carry permit, to transport guns to Florida, you simply either put them in your car cased and unloaded and drive. Or if your flying, put cased and unloaded firearm in checked bag following rules provided by the airline.<br /> <br />ssgmarkcrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480230040370709682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-74717567722608461482015-01-12T14:49:03.883+01:002015-01-12T14:49:03.883+01:00If it was registered in NY, how did he get the gun...<i>If it was registered in NY, how did he get the gun to Florida without breaking other rules along the way?</i><br /><br />To what rules do you refer?
