A man who works for the Department of Transportation was pulled over after drunk driving his car into a tree. That's a problem already - but then the police found various weapons, knives and drugs in the minivan, including a samurai sword and over 10 guns. Oh, and there was pinata and a sign that says "Hang Cheney," which seems like the least odd thing in the car, but the Secret Service came to investigate as well. Glenn Kittel, a sign installer for the DoT, was trapped under his dashboard (firefighters got him out with the Jaws of Life!). Neighbors say he was a hunter, which explains why there were so many guns, but there probably needs to be a license for that sort of thing. Kittel was charged with many counts of weapons possession and DWI.





Thanks. An earlier title I was working on was "Of Course Your Minivan is an Arsenal."
You do not need a license for long guns. You need one only if you have one within the city limits.
That means, I can buy one from LI or upstate and store it outside the city but never have it inside the city. You can, of course, transport you long guns through NYC, without stopping in the city on your way to a hunt.
Handguns are another story, it's no way, no how.
