The article doesn't say if the woman was carrying or not. She could have had them in a case in the trunk of the car, for all we know. As I understand it, just that she had them on school property is all the cops needed to arrest her.
I mistakenly forgot to add "refused" in this line "Can you provide any examples of our military to fire on civilians?" I agree with you 100%. Our military has never refused to fire on civilians. From strike breaking to The Bonus March, where 2 American heroes, MacArthur and Patton attacked...
"all of our troops in all the arms of our military, have to unite w/ all the police forces in the country."
Can you provide any examples of our military to fire on civilians? Can you provide any examples of our police refusing to enforce laws unless ordered not to by their leaders...
I used to date a woman from Poland who graduated from high school when Poland was still a member of the Warsaw Pact. One of the requirements to graduate high school was to be able to field strip and reassemble an AK47. 20 years later she could still do it.
My ex-wife converted to Islam, married some asshat from Morocco and became an American hating fundamentalist. While it certainly helped me get full custody of my son, her husband has told my son several times that he needs to convert to Islam as one day everyone in the US will have to and it...
The cool thing about buying ammunition in New Hampshire is the state owns the liquor stores and there is no tax on liquor. A bottle Balvenie 12 year old single malt Scotch is $90 here in NYS, $65 in New Hampshire.
Good point. Can the original owner be held responsible for a law that did not exist at the time of the theft? Of course, it is New York State, so anything is possible.
In the early 90's a friend of mine moved here from Oklahoma. He owned a Colt Python and Browning Hi-Power. He turned them into the local state police to hold while he applied for his permit. 14 months later, permit in hand he went to collect his pistols. No pistols, no record of them ever being...
If the Liberty Police Department has the gun, they may. If the NYS Police has it, they will destroy it. The gun was stolen back in 2012 so the legitimate owner may not even be around here any longer.
Liberty is going to have to work harder to keep up. We have had only 1 guy shot so far this year, though there have been several drive by shootings where no one was hit. We did, though, have 6 stabbings, 3 gang assaults and 1 rape in an alley off of main street. Not bad for a town of only 10,000.
I tend bar for a living and deal with hundreds of people each week. As much as I try to steer conversations away from politics, it almost always becomes a topic of conversation. Not just Democrats but a great many Republicans, especially Republican women, are basing their votes almost...
I had a guy tell me yesterday that the attack by Hamas on Israel was done because the Suez Canal is useless. The sole reason for the attack was so another canal would be built. How do people think up this crap?
I work late nights, tending bar. I get stopped quite often on my way home and almost every time I am stopped the trooper asks if I have a handgun or any other weapons on me, or if I have any weapons in my truck.
The same thing happened in the town I live in a couple years ago. 2 guys were hiking through a field. A guy came out of the house next to the field with an AR15 and threatened to shoot them for trespassing on his property. It wasn't his, though, and they called the cops. One of the guys even had...
I live close to the PA state line, and my son lives near Wilkes-Barre. So yes, I will be buying my ammunition in PA, or preferring it for gifts for my birthday, Christmas, and Father's Day!
My ex-wife converted to Islam and married a guy from the Middle East. He told my son when he was around 9 that he should convert to Islam, too, because someday everyone in the US will have to and it would look better for him to do so now, willingly, rather than wait till he had to. For what it's...
On any given night, at the last bar I tended at about 50% of my customers were carrying unlicensed handguns. On Ghetto Trash Night that percentage hovered around 99.9%.
I knew the guy that was murdered. He was a really great guy. I have no idea what was behind the murder but the local community is reeling from the news. The world is a much poorer place today.
Good. If the guy is a felon there is a process by which he can get his right to own firearms back. A friend of mine did 5 years for dealing drugs. He got out, played by the rules and petitioned the court and now owns firearms.
I spoke with a friend who works at a LGS about how the ammunition checks went. They sold 6 guns Friday and Saturday. No issues at all with the checks with the NYSP. However, 1 guy had to wait 4 hours to buy .22 shells, 2 had to wait 24 hours to buy 6.5 Creedmore and .308 shells, and 2 are still...
Back in the late 80's the local state police barracks was moved into the town limits. Troopers soon after started setting up radar in town, and the police chief went to speak with the barracks commander about it. A couple days later the police chief's wife (I was dating her sister at the time)...
A lot of troopers drink at the bar I tend at. When they get a few drinks in them it is quite enlightening to hear their opinions of the constitution, individual rights and private gun ownership, not just handguns but all guns. And it isn't positive. To them the Constitution is a hindrance best...
Why is that? Why do you feel, due to a career choice, that you should be able to carry a handgun off duty with more than 10 rounds, while I am restricted to 10 rounds? Why do you feel you should be able to own an AR15 with as many 30 round magazines as you want, but I cannot? More importantly...
There is a lot in the article that isn't covered. Did the guy have a permit for the pistol? Was it in the car, but not in a locked box, unloaded, and the box secured to the vehicle? Was he carrying the pistol and when asked if he had any weapons on him was he searched and it was later found? Did...
In Liberty, NY this summer there have been 6 stabbings and a shooting reported. What has gone unreported were several drive-by shootings where no one was hit that were hushed up by the police department as well as several gang assaults. The Mobil station across the street from the elementary...
The Kimber Desert Warrior I bought back in 2010 would give it some serious competition. 2 or 3 malfunctions per mag. After 3 trips back to Kimber, it improved a bit. I could usually go through a mag with only 1 malfunction. It was pretty, though.
The Town of Liberty has only had one shooting where a man got shot and survived this summer, though there were 4 drive by shootings where no one was hit. But we had 6 stabbings, so there is that. That's a town with a census of about 5000 people. A friend who is a member of the Sullivan County...
In the 1950's Newburgh was considered the best small city to live in, in the entire country. It all started to change in the mid-1960's. During WW2 there was a Naval base and an army base, and I was told the town was busy as hell. Now, the police station has bullet holes in the front of the...
It's Monticello. Gunfire and shootings between gang members are common occurrences here. The only thing newsworthy is that it happened in broad daylight this time, and near the school.
I tended bar for a living and have done so for over 30 years. I always carried concealed when I worked but never drank while I worked, for a variety of reasons, not just because I am armed. When Hochul's new CCIA came into effect I contacted the NYS number that answers questions regarding the...
I called the State Police to clear up a few questions after Hochul's CCIA passed. UP until last fall I tended bar for a living, and have always carried a concealed handgun on me. I never drink when I work or carry. I wanted to be sure I could still legally do so. The trooper on the phone said...
