Airport Gun Cases

Arrested for Carrying a Gun in the Airport?

New York gun laws are some of the strictest in the United States. While most states are required to issue concealed carry pistol licenses to their citizens, many places in New York make it is almost impossible to get a license to carry a gun. While most states recognize pistol licenses from other states, New York does not have reciprocity with any other state.

The number of people arrested in New York airports with firearms or other weapons is staggering and frightening. The overall majority of these people are law abiding citizens who get caught in New York’s gun control web. According to an article recently published in January 2020, in the six prior years, almost 500 people have been arrested just at LaGuardia and Kennedy airports both located in Queens within New York City. This is not to mention other smaller airports distributed throughout the State in Newburgh, Albany, Syracuse, Buffalo and elsewhere.
