ARMED AND FAMOUS
By BRAD HAMILTON
August 3, 2003 -- Yes, that's a pistol in their pockets.
A bevy of the Big Apple's biggest stars are packing heat, according to the latest data from the NYPD's list of gun-license holders.
Among the more than 3,600 privileged New Yorkers allowed to hit the street with a loaded weapon are tough-guy actors Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel, shock-jocks Howard Stern and Don Imus, developer Donald Trump, record honcho Tommy Mottola and Channel 5 TV anchor John Roland.
Also on the list are ex-Seagrams CEO Edgar M. Bronfman, defense lawyer Barry Slotnick, state Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, Daily News co-publisher Fred Drasner, Manhattan Judge Leslie Crocker Snyder, Arkansas Lt. Gov. Winthrop P. Rockefeller (whose famous family is based in the city) and Assistant state Attorney General Steven Pagones, who was smeared in the Tawana Brawley fiasco 15 years ago.
Ex-top cop Howard Safir and publishing czar and author Michael Korda also have gun licenses, but they're not allowed to strap on their weapons.
Their "premise" permit allows them to keep a gun in their homes and demands that when they travel with their weapons, the guns must be unloaded and locked in a safety box, with the ammunition kept separate.
Councilman James Davis, slain two weeks ago by political rival Othniel Askew, who bought his gun in North Carolina, was the only member of the City Council to have a gun license, according to the NYPD data.
Bruno is the only state pol to have one. But plenty of judges have them.
More than a dozen jurists, including prominent Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Richard Lowe and Brooklyn Judges Yvonne Lewis and Lila Gold, are allowed to tuck a loaded gun into their belts or bags, according to the NYPD permit list.
Still, some celebs have had their licenses yanked as the NYPD conducts a massive review of the 39,000 gun permits of all kinds following a rule-bending scandal six months ago that marred the License Division. The cops are checking to see if owners have kept their licenses up to date or if an arrest or other incident now disqualifies them.
As The Post first reported, ex-NYPD license head Bernard Petrofsky was accused by police brass of rubber-stamping permits for Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry in exchange for concert tickets and backstage passes.
The result has been a crackdown on all types of licenses, including the "carry" permits held by many ex-cops and other law-enforcement officers and the "special" permits for security guards and others who need a gun for their work.
A number of notables are among those who have had their licenses yanked or were denied a renewed license, which comes up for review every three years.
William F. Buckley, Chazz Palminteri, Paul Sorvino, Joan Rivers and Steven Seagal all were turned down when they applied to have their permits renewed by the NYPD since 2002.
The NYPD won't say why they denied Seagal a renewal, but he got cops' attention during the Peter Gotti trial when he bragged about packing heat in the city, even though he had only a premise license - not a carry permit.
Police wouldn't say why Rivers was denied, other than there was an "incident" on her record. In December, the comedienne got into a spat and allegedly assaulted a rental-car clerk, although she was never formally charged.
The NYPD review of all gun permits has resulted in cops yanking the licenses of 6,069 gun owners in the first six months of the year, a big increase over the 4,666 they pulled in all of 2002.
The 3,600 carry licenses are down from 4,500 at the end of 2001, according to the NYPD.
"We're canceling boxes and boxes of gun licenses," said Capt. Roy T. Richter, commanding officer of the department's License Division. "We've found a number of deficiencies in the folders."
Meanwhile, it's getting tougher to get a new license.
Cops have issued 1,282 new licenses through June 30 this year, down from 1,562 they approved during the same six-month period last year, and the rate of approval has dropped to 70 percent this year from 75 percent in 2002.

De Niro, Stern Licensed to Pack Pistols
Associated Press
NEW YORK - Actors Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel, radio host Howard Stern and developer Donald Trump are among the New Yorkers licensed to carry a loaded gun, according to police records.
But some stars - including Joan Rivers, action-movie star Steven Seagal and conservative commentator William F. Buckley - were rejected when they applied to have their gun licenses renewed by New York City police this year, the New York Post reported Sunday.
Police told the Post only that Rivers had an "incident" on her record. She was reportedly in a fight with a car-rental clerk last year but was not criminally charged.
Police declined to say why Seagal and Buckley were turned down for permits. Seagal's permit was a premise license - which allows gun owners to keep their weapons unloaded and locked in a safety box when they travel.
About 3,600 New Yorkers are authorized to carry a loaded weapon, down from 4,500 at the end of 2001. Police have been re-examining records to make sure gun owners have up-do-date licenses and clean criminal records.

Doesn't he have to maintain a residence in New York in order to have the permit? And he doesn't - the residence named on the original permit actually belonged to someone else.
He might have been wiser to keep quiet about "packing heat" while in NYC, although given the license review, he probably wouldn't have had it renewed anyhow.

I think the Peter Gotti trial had a lot to do with him not being allowed to renew his license especially since he brought it to everybodys attention that he always carries a gun when he is in New York. I think he made that statement more to get the attention of the mob and just let them know that he also has a gun wherever he goes..

Trinity said:I am sure it will get straightened outIf Steven Seagal can't feel safe,I'm scared.
It'll be three years before he can apply for a permit again.. I assume he still has a permit to carry a gun elsewhere; its just New York that has turned him down..I mean, come on; if Howard Stern can have a license to carry a loaded gun in NY why not Seagal. Seagal is an expert marksman and has trained cops to shoot..

I Belong To Steven
I saw a blurb on CNN today about him being denied...
I wonder why that is still in the news?
It's pretty old news...
I think they just like giving him a hard time...
And as far as his marksman skills go...
It's like Jordan said in Under Seige...
"The safest place on this ship is right behind you..."
I have no doubts that he could protect me at all...
Now, if I could just somehow get behind him, in front of him, or next to him I'd be feeling really fine, and safe, and happy....
Know what I mean?

I just saw the CNN clip about the gun permits, and that Steven didn't get his. Arisa was with him, and judging from appearances, it was a fairly recent shot of him. Nice to see him in the tv news, even if it was only for a few seconds.
I do wish he'd put his hair back into a ponytail, though. Those scraggly bits at the back make me want to take out my scissors and do a Delilah on him.
-TD, who likes neat and tidy hair

I was lucky to catch it, I don't usually watch CNN. But they were running a report on the forest fires in British Columbia (I'm always surprised whenever American news stations run news items on things that happen in Canada, most American stations don't even know we exist) and I was too far away from the remote to switch channels once the story was done. Then, suddenly, hey, presto! There was the story on the gun permits. A lucky catch.
Well, while Arisa was looking into the camera (how she loves looking into the camera!), Steven was talking to someone, probably a reporter or someone who asked him a question, rather animatedly (that means "in a very lively way" suzi), so we could only see his profile. He was wearing the brown silk jacket, with his hair dangling over the back collar (I want that ponytail back!). From the profile, I'd say he was pretty heavy, weight-wise, so the shot was fairly recent, but I don't know where or when it was shot, just that it wasn't winter time (so it wasn't in February of this year in New York). Arisa couldn't take her eyes off the camera and had the same silly, simpering smile and dead-behind-the-eyes look she always has. (A friend of mine describes the look as "deer caught in the headlights".)
