    As per Suffolk County:


    The following safety measures will be accepted as standard practice for the safeguarding of firearms:
    UNLOADED and locked in a box or metal container.
    UNLOADED and secured in a safe.
    UNLOADED with a locking device attached and hidden in a secure location.
    Keeping a loaded firearm, inside or outside of a safe would not be standard. Nowhere in the guide does it say that this is illegal or out of code. Carrying 24/7 with a "sportsman's" permit is not against the law, but it is against code in Suffolk and Nassau county and, although it will not result in prosecution, it will almost certainly result in a loss of your license by the granting authority. I'm pushing for concealed carry without amendment, but it is extremely difficult to attain, unless you are wealthy. Only people with tons of money are authorized, or some people with orders of protection in their favor. Equal protections? What do you expect from a "may-issue" state?

    If the situation is other than standard it would stand to reason that other than standard storage was appropriate.

    -Eric "George Orwell" Blair

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
    (Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, 1861).
