Concealed Carry and Reciprocity and the Cost of Lawsuits
The United States Concealed Carry Association published an interactive state map concerning concealed carry statistics. SCOPE pulled the ten largest states (minimum population of ten million) and shows them below. There is a link to USCCA’s actual map at bottom of the page.
Only 3 states, NY, California and Illinois, honor no other (zero, zip, nada) state’s concealed carry permits.
And only NY and California have permits which expire in less than 5 years. (Don’t forget that NY changed it down from 5 years and forgot to tell you.)
Since this is budget season in New York State and since we already had the population numbers, we got the state budget expenditures in 2022 from the U S Census Bureau’s web site (apparently the last year they have available) and calculated the budget expense per person.
Hey, it’s expensive to try and do away with Constitutional Rights like the 2nd Amendment. It’s expensive to defend those rights, too. The state needs that budget money to run up the costs of lawsuits challenging NYS in order to bankrupt those that would dare oppose NYS.
