I am a firm believer in the Constitution and laws. Some times the law makers get it mixed up and their intent is good, but violate the Constitution, then we have a bad law. Once something becomes law, we have no avenue but to follow the law. As Jurors you would be in judgment of someone that is brought up on charges of breaking the law, based on evidence presented. You would not (or should not) have the liberty of deciding if it is a good law or a bad one. If it is a bad law (like NYC's gun laws), then the law needs to be changed. I do not look for New York City law on handguns (and guns in general) to be changed very soon, if ever. In fact Mayor Bloomberg wants his laws to reach out into other communities, making it a crime to sell a gun to a New York City resident or to anyone that might bring a gun into the city of New York. He and other just do not get it. It is criminals that want guns for the wrong reasons and they are going to get them one way or another, law or no law. The law only discourages the honest citizens from having guns. You may have a right to carry permit, but if it was not issued by the City of New York, then it is not valid in their City. So the bottom line is if Plaxico is guilty of breaking the law, he will have to serve the time. I think the law is absurd, but it is the law.
