When it comes to gun prosecutions, we're effectively two different states (which is what I was driving at). The county sheriffs swing whichever way the political winds blow, and outside of maybe Erie, Albany, and Schenectady counties, that's pretty strongly pro-gun. True SAFE Act prosecutions are almost unheard of (there's something like 8,000 a year, 80% of which are NYC+LI, and most are for stuff that was already a felony beforehand). On the other hand, my concealed carry permit isn't valid in NYC. If I were to travel to Long Island, I would have to follow the same rules as an out-of-state resident.
