Almost all the buildings around the plaza are state property. There is a stipulation that you cant carry in government owned property. Even those of us with non-restricted permits might have issues with the fuzz. I think before anyone goes to that with their EDC check to make sure that you can carry at the plaza. I know they dont want guys carrying inside any of the plaza buildings when the gun show happens. While this will happen outside I am not sure what the troopers are going to want to do if they see anyone armed. Dipshit scumbag corrupt Cumo would love to make an example out of anyone he could and use his personal gustopo to do so.
I carry in Albany but only to my lodge which is downtown two blocks away from the plaza.
Places Off-Limits Even With a Permit/License
Firearms (other than carried by peace officers and federal officers) are NOT permitted in courthouses under the rules of the NYS Office of Court Administration, which have the force and effect of law. Federal law bans firearms in federal courthouses and US attorney offices, except for law enforcement personnel on official business.
Certain cities and all counties may, under home rule options, ban firearms from their governmental buildings.
