The handgun is legally licensed and registered in Pennsylvania and D is allowed to carry the loaded gun in Pennsylvania. After D crosses the state line between Pennsylvania and New York and travels into New York State, D is legally pulled over for speeding. As the New York State Trooper asks for D's driver's license and vehicle registration, the police officer sees the handgun sticking out of D's jacket pocket and places D under arrest for the illegal possession of the firearm. D was charged with this crime because New York does not allow the carrying of loaded firearms in New York State unless it is licensed and registered in New York State. D claims that he was mistaken to the New York law and he believed he could carry the loaded gun into New York because it was legal to do so in Pennsylvania.
