Doesn't sound too thought out to me... "nobody should have one, but I do. I'd give it up if they were banned. And oh by the way, it's less dangerous than a pool, which requires no background check..."

Yeah, I quoted it above.

Same thing in NY.

No it isn't. A concealed carry permit is a proper cause license, and is different from a home, business, corrections officer, justice, etc. license.

In the article, Martha Stewart's daughter says:

“I don’t believe people should be allowed to have guns in America,” Ms. Stewart told the paper, explaining that she bought a .357 Magnum after 9/11 — but would be happy to give it up if handguns were banned. “Having a swimming pool is way more dangerous than having a gun,” she added.

Then tell Bloom'ie to fill his in and go after all his rich buddies with swimming pools.

And, of those 37,000 pistol permits in NYC, I will bet the percentage may be very low on how many are actually personal protection licenses. Additionally, I believe you must get a permit each time you purchase a new gun, so wonder it they just looked at the total number that have been issued? If so, this could be less actual owners if they have multiple guns. Also, I wonder if the permit gets canceled if the person moves out of state or sells the gun legally?

Maybe Excalibur can give us some insight on this process.

And that is why the statute was passed to prohibit this type of thing from happening.
