The client was originally charged with a class "C" violent felony and was facing a mandatory minimum sentence of three and a half years in state prison and up to fifteen years in state prison if convicted...For having a gun, which is a right?
What I don't get is why the client was charged for having a loaded gun when the "traveler's defense" only applies to unloaded firearms.
Anyway, it's nice to see a NY law firm crowing about winning a gun possession case. Anybody know any of the particulars about it?

Just speculation, but it is possible that he had ammunition in the same case as the weapon, which technically doesn't pass muster for the federal protection, and might fall under a local definition of "loaded?"
I certainly wouldn't put such things past NYC.
Could be; that's one of the requirements of the much publicized new gun laws, as stated in a Precinct meeting at the end of last year. But I know nothing about this particular case. all the best, cycjec
