Reply #7: Allowing officials to determine who can carry concealed leads to racism ... [View All]

[spin]

the businessman in a nice suit gets a permit, the Hispanic in jeans with a heavy accent doesn't.

If the state has a "shall issue" concealed carry law, both individuals get permits as long as they meet the basic requirements and have a clean record.

In New York City the rich and famous get permits, the average citizen hopes that when he calls 911, the cops come quickly.

Armed, but not dangerous.

The number of celebs allowed to carry guns is on the rise in NYC, reports the New York Daily News .

So, who can pack heat?

Marc Anthony, shock jock Howard Stern, Robert De Niro, Donald Trump, and his son, Donald Jr., Mets third baseman David Wright and even Martha Stewart's daughter, radio host Alexis Stewart, are all authorized to carry a concealed weapon in NYC, according to records obtained by the NYDN. (Bernie Madoff's son Andrew was denied a gun permit — not even to keep a firearm in his home.)


Marc Anthony, seen with wife Jennifer Lopez in 2009, has a permit to carry a loaded weapon in New York City as well as in Nassau County, where he and Lopez own a $2 million home.
