It should be illegal then. LEOSA is the law that governs out of state law enforcement conceal carry across state lines and NY doesn't permit it. I haven't followed this specific situation much though so there is probably something I'm missing.
 
Protesting workers beaten at Chinese iPhone factory

BEIJING (AP) — Police beat workers protesting over a pay dispute at the biggest factory for Apple’s iPhone, whose new model is delayed by controls imposed as China tries to contain a surge in COVID-19 cases.

Foxconn, the biggest contract assembler of smartphones and other electronics, is struggling to fill orders for the iPhone 14 after thousands of employees walked away from the factory in the central city of Zhengzhou last month following complaints about unsafe working conditions.

China’s status as an export powerhouse is based on factories such as Foxconn’s that assemble the world’s consumer electronics, toys and other goods.

The ruling Communist Party is trying to contain the latest wave of outbreaks without shutting down factories and the rest of its economy as it did in early 2020. Its tactics include “closed-loop management,” under which workers live in their factories with no outside contact.

Balenciaga is getting MAJOR backlash for its bondage-inspired kid's clothing campaign ... and celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Bella Hadid are even feeling the heat because of their connection to the company.

The luxury fashion brand rolled out the shocking ads for its spring 2023 collection. The photos depicted children gripping teddy bears clad in S&M gear, and quickly started going viral. Almost immediately, people responded with outrage on social media, demanding a boycott of the company.

Balenciaga executives quickly pulled all the ads Tuesday and issued an apology. Their statement read, "We sincerely apologize for any offense our holiday campaign may have caused. Our plush bear bags should not have been featured with children in this campaign. We have immediately removed the campaign from all platforms."

The execs went on to say they plan to take legal action against the creators of the ads, which they claim were "unapproved." They added, "We strongly condemn abuse of children in any form. We stand for children’s safety and well-being.”

Most of that was in the form of things that go boom, I'd imagine.

At the risk of furthering this whole thing.

Even if I personally have no problem helping Ukraine it does seem like a lot of money.

And as far as things that go boom. There is really no accountability. No transparency. Big money pit. Everyone gets a piece.

Nothing about Alex Jones is amusing to me. The man is dangerous. He’d be dead if I were one the Newtown parents.

Thank you for your opinion. One of the things I find amusing about him is how triggering he is to some people.

That shit that he pulled with the Newton parents is beyond fucked up. I can’t imagine if my son, or any of kindergarten students, were killed I a school shooting and to have this piece of shit have the balls to tell me it was all a hoax. I promise you that his life would’ve ended violently by my hand.

Yeah. Because if your kids died and someone called it a hoax you would think it's funny. Hilarious.

Wouldn't give a shit about what some asshole said about my kid, wouldn't concern myself with his rhetoric. I'm a first ammendment absolutist so I'm not worrying about what someone else says.
