Title: Bad Driver? NO GUN FOR YOU!!
Post by: Ben on October 27, 2010, 11:03:33 AM
NYC appears to be taking the Soup Nazi to heart. Littering, bad driving, getting fired, all reasons to refuse a gun permit.

 [tinfoil]  More political idiocity from the Naked City. ;/
I don't know how anyone could support Bloomberg.  In fact, I give up.

The linked article mentioned a premesis license was $70, and a carry license was $110.

They vastly understated the true cost, since they failed to include the thousands of dollars in campaign contributions or under-the-table business kickbacks to politician's and their clients that had to take place before even applying for a carry license in NYC. (Assuming you actually expected it to be granted.)

Those are the proposed license fees.  They're currently several hundred dollars, plus bribe money.

Embarrassing.   :facepalm:

At least the comments are mostly of the WTF variety.

I was born in NYC, but left many years ago.

These type of things embarass me, and make me angry.
