Tourist Arrested in NYC for Legal Gun in Her State

Meredith Graves is a fourth year medical student from Tennessee and was visiting New York City and decided to visit the 9/11 Memorial. While there she saw a sign that said "No guns allowed," so she asked a security guard where she could check her pistola. The guard took her to a NYC Police Officer who promptly arrested the woman for having the weapon. You can read the account here ---> Meredith Graves arrested


The issue I have with this is that my marriage license is good in all 50 states, and all over the world. My Drivers License is good in all 50 states, and Canada, so is my insurance and registration, including other permits. Why is a gun permit then not valid in all 50 states if the possession of weapons is a federal guarantee?

 

If a locality wants to prohibit their locals from having weapons because the locals are crazy, that's one thing, but if my state allows me to have and carry a weapon, that piece of paper should serve notice to law enforcement that this citizen has done the right thing.


Mayor Bloomberg commented that it was an "illegal out of state gun" that recently killed a NYPD officer in the line of duty, but the killer is a local, and a criminal, and now a cop killer! I guess Bloomberg as a Democrat can not possibly blame the criminal, huh?
