"The 2nd amendment was never intended to allow private citizens to 'keep and bear arms'. If it had, there would have been wording such as 'the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed'." -- Ken Konecki on Usenet, on 27 Jul 1992

The Message is loud and clear: "Stay the hell out of New York. FEDERAL Laws protecting the right of nonresident gun owners to transport their legally owned, unloaded, properly secured handguns DO NOT apply here."
Mr. Meckler MAY be lucky enough to get the charges droopped AFTER he spends considerable money on a good lawyer.
Unfortunately, getting New York to recognize FEDERAL law in this particular matter will involve considerable expense of both time and resources far beyond the reach of most ordinary citizens. If the Feds can sue Arizona for trying to help the US Government enforce immigration law, why can't they sue New York for breaking FEDERAL law?
Meanwhile, where should we send our "No Guns = No Money" cards? Mayor Bloomberg? NY Governor? Airport Managers at JFK, La Guardia, etc.?
12/18/2011 UPDATE: It appears Mr Meckler was in NY for too long a period to be under the protection of the Firearms Owners Protection Act, as his lwayer now states.
