After Sandy I carried my pistol up North as you never know how people will react when no power, no gas, etc. It was illegal even though I have a permit (states don't have to honor other states license) but I wasn't taking a chance. If I had to go back to NY or NJ I probably would again, but don't up in Mass and RI.
Just a word of advice, for what it's worth. Here in NJ, they don't honor other state's carry permit. It's hard to get a carry permit if you're not law enf., private detective, security guard, etc. (You can get firearms ID, and pistol permits if you're clean, just not carry permits) I don't agree with most of the gun laws here, but I wouldn't want you to get shot by a cop because he thought you were the "bad guys", or see you put in prison when you meant no harm.
