FYI: It’s Now Illegal to “Lock and Load While Loaded”

A funny exchange recounted by Liz Benjamin:

Reporters covering Mayor Bloomberg’s press conference this morning on a new bill that would make it a crime to carry guns while drunk, were stunned when Sen. Jeff Klein, the bill’s sponsor, said it wouldn’t apply to firing ranges or hunting grounds, the DN’s Erin Einhorn reports.

The following exchange ensued:
(Josh Robin, NY1): “You can be drunk under this legislation in a firing range, with a gun?!
(Klein): “Yeah.”
