Applying for Concealed Carry in NYC? Get Ready for a Knock At Your Door

In its heyday a century-plus ago, Standard Oil said it didn’t have a monopoly. That’s because Standard didn’t gobble up 10 percent of its competitors, but let them survive in order to show there was, indeed, free market competition.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, in commenting on a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down the state’s law requiring gun permit applicants to show “proper cause” to have a gun, did lament the high court striking down rights — her rights.

“They decided to strip away the rights of a governor to protect her citizens from gun violence,” Hochul told MSNBC.

And New York Mayor Eric Adams fears “a cosmic shift” because the good guys can carry guns.

“A cosmic shift, because now you are in an environment where anyone could have a gun for the most part,” Adams told MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
