I refuse to give up my weapons just because it makes people uncomfortable. I don't even interact with more than a select few of these folks anyways, so what I do doesn't affect them at all.
People in New York City are even worse. I lived there for 5 years. Some of the most stuck-up people I've ever had the displeasure of living next to.
Honestly, it's like living in a European country. |

Really? and how many European countries have you lived in? Frankly I find Europeans are much more polite. I say this because I live in one and I used to regularly shuttle between the UK, BE, and NL for business.
The Dutch are extremely friendly, as are the Swedes.
For example, comparing people to cockroaches because they disagree would be considered bad form in Europe.
I would say your attitude is that of the locals that dislike people from the big city. Believe me I have heard the exact same arguments from French people against Parisians, English people against Londoners, Dutch people against those that live in Amsterdam, people in rural Indiana against both people Dayton, Cincinatti, and Indianapolis. Country people always think city people are rude, let me tell you I lived in the country too for 4 years in the Mid-West, contrary to the advertising, I didn't find the people so friendly.
But back to subject:
Well you may not have a choice, if a community bans handguns are places whether you agree with it or not you are violating the law. The Heller case does not apply to NYC, as DC and NYC don't have the same laws. Try it in NYC without a permit and the cops will arrest you if they catch you.
As I keep saying, its a matter of location. I have no problems with people in the Suburbs or countryside, but they have no business in a metropolis. And also as I said, nobody who lives in the metropolis wants them.
How many people do you see in the city demanding firearms? All I am saying is let communities police themselves.
