Homeowner was arrested by police, not because of the shooting, but because the handgun he used he had inherited from his father but never registered the change in ownership with the state. Now he is facing a felony charge.

I have a really hard time not seeing this as an infringement of the right to bear arms. If a poll tax is an impediment to voting, registering a firearm (and paying the associated fee) is an impediment to keeping arms. A person is not required to register other items inherited except for motor vehicles. I wish that a case like this could be used to smack NY upside the head over the 2nd Amendment.

The laws for acquiring a handgun in New York are so strict, nothing like Texas. For Staters when you get your drivers license they dont finger print you, so they arent on record. To apply for a chl (concealed handgun license) no open carry in NY. You have to go to the county sheriff's office to get an application it's not online. You need three references and they need to be notarized. Then you can submit you application and pay something like $190 The sheriff's will finger print you and run your background check. And then in the highly unlikely event you get your chl you can purchase a handgun. otherwise there is no possible way to legally posses one. Your homes not your Castle and neither is your vehicle. If he didnt kill those two intruders they could sue him for assault even though they b&e. I've only lived in the great state of Texas for 3 years and I dont think theres any better quote then "I wasnt born here but I got here as fast as I could"
