St. Lawrence County joins gun rights case that’s pending in U.S. Supreme Court

[Madmallard]

St. Lawrence County legislators voted 11-4 Monday night to file a legal brief supporting a case pending in U.S. Supreme Court filed by a gun rights group against New York City.

The vote followed a fairly lengthy debate among legislators, with supporters arguing the case is relevant to St. Lawrence County because it relates to protecting the U.S. Constitution’s Second Amendment right to bear arms.

About 25 people attended the meeting, with a few making public comments in support of gun rights. One St. Lawrence University student said the county should be focusing on other things, including poverty.

The county agreed to get involved in a case brought by the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association, Inc. against New York City for banning the transport of a licensed, locked and unloaded handgun to a home or shooting range outside of city limits.

Supporters argued that pistol permit restrictions in St. Lawrence County are similar to those faced by citizens in NYC, and the county has an obligation to speak up.

I started to read the comments, not one person had any facts correct. Every single comment was wrong. Un-freaking-believable. No wonder the North country is in trouble, it's full of idiots

FIFY. The North Country is pretty solidly conservative. The idiots commenting are proggie retards from W'town - the "normies" are working and haven't got the time for that shit. The blue county at the upper right is Clinton - blue because....SUNY-Plattsburgh.

It's always amazed me that Watertown is so blue. You'd think there'd be some conservative tone to it because of Fr. Drum. Granted, most of those guys there probably cast absentee ballots in other states.

"New York City for banning the transport of a licensed, locked and unloaded handgun to a home or shooting range outside of city limits."
