"One police source told Examiner late this afternoon that if a citizen is walking down a street (inside the emergency proclamation zone) with a legally-concealed handgun, he shouldn’t have anything to worry about. Police are not stopping people and frisking them for weapons."
With all dual respect to the "police source" I don't give a rip what he thinks. The Exec Order allows for confiscation off *all* weapons. Merely *possessing* a firearm (even concealed) make you run afoul of the Mayor's order. If it wasn't their intent to restrict firearm possession, they could have addressed that with 30 seconds of extra effort by adding two sentences to the order.
Regardless of how nice the police decide to be in using their discretion in enforcing this order, it is illegal as written, and the Mayor's office should be held accountable. This is no different than Obama signing the NDAA act, but pinky swearing he'll never use the oppressive parts.
