John Stossel, long time TV journalist and outspoken libertarian, has done well-researched reports on gun rights in the past, like this story about lies and false statistics used in anti-gun ads.
Recently, Stossel, who lives in New York City, decided he wanted to get a permit to carry a firearm in light of recent public threats made against him. What he embarked on was an 8-1/2 month journey that wouldn’t pan out too well.
New York state has some strict gun laws, and New York City adds yet another layer of complexity to those laws. In the video above, Stossel documents the 50 pages of documents and unnecessary information applicants must sift through and attempt to comprehend right from the start.
