Even back then they didn’t carry heat just in case they get searched. This was an unwritten rule for made guys

That would be an unwritten rule that not all "made guys" adhered to. Two Gun Jimmy Prato, an old Youngstown, Ohio Mob Boss wasn't called Two Gun Jimmy For nothin'. He always had two sub nosed .38s in his belt. Those were the days my friends, I thought they'd never end; they did :(

Jersey 5 with a 3 year minimum first time if you have any kind of priors at all. 5 with 5 second time. And god forbid there’s a third time the feds are picking it up and they’re gonna run wild on you. You don’t need to nowadays. I mean there’s exceptions if shit hits the fan but let face it... those days have pretty much passed. Constant surveillance and a random traffic stop can take a chunk of out your life.

Yeah all the states with lax gun laws don’t typically have a wiseguy presence...Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, Georgia, etc. I read an article a couple years ago that said like 80% of the illegal guns seized in NYC and NJ come from Virginia and Pennsylvania.

Vincent Cafaro testified that a soldier could not carry a gun without first getting permission from his capo. Unless there's a war on it really wouldn't be necessary, especially given the strict gun laws mentioned above.

In his Valuetainment interview Joseph Pistone said that Lefty Ruggiero didn't carry a piece. So even back then mobsters weren't packing at all times.

Which is ironic since one of his nicknames was 'Two Guns'. :lol:
