Yes, you can, with a New Jersey handgun carry permit (otherwise it's illegal). However, it is said to be extremely difficult to obtain the permit. Other than retired law enforcement, and current special security staff, it is estimated that fewer than a dozen permits have been issued to private citizens in New Jersey- out of 8 million people.

The Short answer is no. Under the New York State Penal Code, there are exceptions for people who have had training in the use of a baton, as well as people working for the state, people working for foreign governments while in the state and similar parties, but all should be read to mean "only law enforcement." In addition, you should be aware that New York City tends to have stricter laws than the rest of the state. Thus, it would be illegal in the City, for certain.

Yes. Federal legislation was put into place which allows off-duty active police officers and retired police officers to carry concealed in all states and territories of the United States.

Yes, carrying a handgun in NYC is punished by a year in jail, no questions asked. Obtaining a permit to carry a handgun in NYC is incredibly difficult.

Can you carry a handgun in Nevada walking in the street?

Yes. Nevada is an open carry state, which means if you don't have a permit, you can carry a handgun openly, however I have been told that inside the city limits of Las Vegas, that is a bad idea. Also, the state of Nevada issues concealed carry permits, so you can carry a concealed handgun if you have a permit.

What 2 states can you not carry a gun?

Several states have limitations on carrying a firearm- none have a blanket prohibition. Some are stricter than others. Actually, a couple do. In Illinois, you cannot carry a handgun on your person in public, openly or concealed. A few other states ban handgun carry by default, because it is basically impossible to get a handgun carry permit. But, the answer to the question I think you're asking is, Illinois and Wisconsin do not issue handgun carry permits, however, I think Wisconsin allows open carry. Check www.handgunlaw.us for more information. Update: since the time I wrote the most recent answer, Wisconsin has started issuing handgun carry permit.
