True but the point of the story is the ridiculous mag law and not that he was stupid enough to drive with a suspended licence. Wouldn't be a story if he just got caught with a suspended licence. But yes, he is pretty dumb in the first place.

Dang. If your gonna keep it on the front seat at least make sure its not in plain view. Throw a shirt or jacket or something on it.

He must have been able to legally possess the handgun or I would think he would have been arrested for that. I'm assuming NY has ccw too since he wasn't charged but why didn't he have it concealed adds to his stupidly. He sure isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer for sure.

did a quick google search on CCW in NY

Informing Law Enforcement of Carry:

Automobile carry:
A loaded handgun may be carried in a vehicle by a properly licensed individual. (Loaded means a firearm with ammunition loaded in magazine or chamber or any firearm which is possessed by one who at the same time possesses a quantity of ammunition which may be used to discharge such a firearm.) Possession of any loaded rifle or shotgun in a vehicle is illegal.

It is unlawful for any person to carry, possess or transport a handgun in or through the state unless he has a valid New York license. More details on this click here.

Damn.............license plate lamp is out, you get pulled over, you get knocked up for driving with a suspended license, then hit up with the mag thing.

In more reasonable states it's not outside the norm to have a loaded pistol in the car, and there are any number of reasons a license could be suspended, and an equal number of reasons a person wouldn't find out about it until the next time they got pulled over.  What I'm getting at is that nothing in the article points to the poor bastard being any less intelligent than you or me.

For the record: If you want some expensive ass tickets and bail... drive without a license.   

DWOL is more expensive than OVUII.

Also, there are different levels of intoxication.  When you pass a certain threshold, the penalty goes up in many states.

Driving with a suspended license.

Oh, I was tracking that, I was just laughing at the terminology...using "aggressive" seems a bit over the top unless you were road raging while driving without a license.
