In states like NJ and NY, permits are issued (there's a law on the books that governs permits). NJ and NY has set up their permit systems so as to only permit who they want to carry a gun (celebrities, politicians, friends of the ruling class). Everyone else is denied when they apply. So, if the law passes and is signed, NJ and NY and all the other states, since they DO issue permits to carry, must recognize other states permits.
What NY and NJ HATE is the fact that this law essentially strips them of their tyrannical corruption in keeping all the peasants unarmed.

you are correct about
NYC but
NYS is whole different animal. Handgun permits are much more easily obtainable the farther you get away from the city.
Each county has their own rules regarding pistol permits, as they call them. The wait may range from somewhat irritating to downright torture.
The County I lived in had a 15,000 out of 100,000 residents with a handgun permit.Pretty darn good considering the female(not that they weren't armed either) and underage population. Of course the County is run by mostly pro gun politicians and a very gun friendly Sheriff. There was a very good chance the guy standing next t you at the store or on the street was carrying a firearm.
Also, there's plenty of red necks and hillbillies in NYS also, more than people think.
Everyone "upstate" has a long gun.
When they had that manhunt for the guys who broke out of jail a few years back, the joke was better the Troopers find them first because the citizens were going to shoot em' on sight, and they would have.
Get north and west of NYC and it's just like any rural area in America. Unfortunately, the power structure is concentrated in the city. And, the big city politicians have no intention of allowing any sort of reciprocity, no matter what the law says. Witness D.C.
