\"Colorado<\/a>

Haley Leach has a valid Colorado concealed carry permit.\u00a0 But that doesn’t matter in the land of Bloomberg.\u00a0 (Photo: Twitter<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Another day, another reason to pass the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act.<\/p>\n

Local media outlets<\/a> reported earlier this month that a Colorado woman had been arrested at the Albany International Airport after trying to check in a handgun with airport security.<\/p>\n

The woman, Haley Leach, 28, had been vacationing in Hunter, New York, since November and was attempting to fly home. When she tried to declare her handgun to Southwest Airlines representatives, they telephoned the police because she didn\u2019t possess a New York pistol permit.<\/p>\n

Despite holding a valid Colorado concealed carry permit, Leach was charged with criminal possession of a weapon and released on bail. She must return to New York in February to appear in court.<\/p>\n

The New York legislature has imposed some of the strictest gun laws in the nation. But as anyone from the state will say, big-city politicians don\u2019t speak for every Empire State resident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re taking so many law abiding citizens and basically making them criminals,\u201d Albany County Sheriff Craig Apple told News10 ABC<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are people that are professionals,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are doctors, pilots, lawyers, cops, firemen, whatever the case may be, and then when they go to fly out they get arrested.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple said the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act would keep people from ending up like Leach. But until then he\u2019ll be forced to arrest out-of-state residents who have no criminal intent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is sad because it\u2019s happening more and more,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Apple\u2019s isn\u2019t the only one frustrated with the patchwork of state gun laws.<\/p>\n

Leslie McDermott runs an indoor shooting range and gun store in New York. He says that out-of-state customers come in daily who do not realize they might be breaking the law.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraveling through, see our sign, and stop in,\u201d McDermott told News10 ABC. \u201cThey can\u2019t shoot here because they don\u2019t have a New York State pistol permit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s frustrating for people who don\u2019t know the law,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act of 2017<\/a> would force state officials to treat concealed carry permits much like drivers\u2019 licenses. If the legislation passes, Leach\u2019s Colorado permit will be valid in New York and vice versa.<\/p>\n

The House of Representatives passed the bill in December with a bipartisan vote of 231 to 198. The bill now faces a much more difficult fight in the Senate, where Republicans hold a razor-thin 51-49 majority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
