Take NY for example, since you have an act of congress and a parting of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to go through when getting your conceal carry its recognized in many other states. Alaska will even issue a permit if you ask. That doesnt exist here.

I believe there are just over a dozen states that recognize NY permits. It is a pain in the ass to get and expensive. I just have to get one more reference form filled out then all my paper work will be in.

Even the mentality difference from Plattsburgh to Albany is crazy. Up here firearms ownership is the norm, down there where I’m from you bring up the subject people look at you like your crazy for owning firearms.
