Simpler, cheaper, and better idea: just let everyone carry on campus. Under federal law uni's could already do this for 21+, and under-21 kids could keep long guns in their residences and cars if this was allowed.

No kidding, dude was living in his girlfriend's Bel-Air mansion and had some kind of FFL. He should have gotten a shack in Nevada. As awesome as his collection sounds, the guy looks mentally ill/off, in a probably mostly-harmless, hoarder sort of way. Not because of the number of guns, but the...

I'm not even an NRA member, but nice try. You're totally wrong, and screw you if you're cheering the state's mafia tactics against the NRA. While they give millions to Planned Parenthood etc. for abortions.

What's cute is you think I'm wrong. I'm sure GOA or whatever ideologically pure group you subscribe to has Cuomo shaking in his boots.

This is what we call the circular firing squad. You may have legitimate gripes about the state of the NRA, but there's nothing to celebrate about the state attempting to hound a gun rights organization out of existence. NY isn't just targeting the NRA. It's targeting gun manufacturers and...

Awesome!

Fuck this man, who the fuck does he think he is.

Is it possible this Ghanaian chap wasn't a high scorer on the civil service exam?

Yeah... hard no to this gimmick. Savage Rascal is a better rifle for a fraction of the price, while skipping the fake Honey I Shrunk the Mosin look. If it actually had a functioning magazine it might have a certain appeal at a lower price. How much do you think IraqVeteran8888 was paid to...

Will the Magpul enhanced self-leveling follower work in Hexmags? Anyone tried it, and if so does it work better than the stock Hexmag follower?

If you think the answer is “no,” I’m afraid you are mistaken. Cops generally respond to complaints, and different agencies have different policies, but on any open land it’s legal for law enforcement to enter private property without any probable cause or warrant to investigate. It’s only...

Good riddance! Ten years ago he would have been defenseless. This self-defense brought to you directly by McDonald. That said, drawing from the drop was super ballsy. This guy is lucky he wasn't killed himself. And police taking him into custody is some bullshit.

For a curtilage, there's no hopping or crawling through allowed (absent an "exigency"), but they can peer through or over. An unlocked gate is iffy. Safer to lock the gate. Basically if you have an unsecured path to the door that you generally permit uninvited visitors or delivery people to come...

No, the next to be charged should be the ADA. If you read the indictment and transcript you see that the ADA was fully in on it too. He or she specifically brought up the ICE detainer in the first place and said he/she wasn't going to do anything about it and cooperated in this scheme. And the...

Yes. Open fields doctrine. Only an enclosed curtilage around a home is protected against police entry. If you're off shooting in your own land (as opposed to a fenced backyard) they can just waltz on in.

So you think the 74-year-old substitute who shot off a round in a 1st grade classroom didn't know how to load and use his gun? You think he was just too stupid to know that it goes bang when the trigger is pulled, or he just bought his pistol yesterday? If there wasn't a round in the chamber, he...

I'm being ridiculous now? How else am I supposed to defend myself against the roaming hordes of hot-chambered-carrying criminals? And maybe deciding to take the extra step and have the chamber empty could be someone's concept of a responsible decision. Sure sounds a lot more responsible than...

Right, that's why I never go anywhere without my carbine shouldered, charged and safety off at all times. :rolleyes:

I agree. And if you are carrying with a round in the chamber, that is what you should do. So why do negligent discharges still happen? Why are they occasioned by people who know better, who know rules 1-3, who have even sanctimoniously lectured others on rules 1-3? (EDIT: Actually, 3 is...

Thanks for sharing, though as we all know a NY ID is not required for a rifle or shotgun purchase. There are other acceptable ways to establish identity and make a sale. A passport/student ID would be a red flag, but not necessarily illegal nor indicative of an attempt to commit a crime. It's...

Okay. So it's a balancing of rare events. And the videos we see dissected are sensational, not representative. For instance, someone privately fumbling a gun with an empty chamber is not likely to be filmed, shared, and commented upon. Rate of dangerous negligent discharge incidents among...

How many negligent discharge videos do we see that would never have happened if a gun wasn't being carried with a round in the chamber? Sure, blame the guy responsible, but that doesn't change the outcome. How many of these are experienced, trained gun enthusiasts who post on forums like this...

I don't care what the platform is. I dislike this smug attitude. I'll concede that on the whole, trained properly, carrying with one in the chamber is almost axiomatically an advantage in a self-defense situation. That doesn't mean that everyone who ever carries with an empty chamber is wrong...

Honestly, I don't care how convinced you are about the one true way to carry; these types of incident-analysis videos from tacticool trainers and youtubers don't prove anything about the "right" way for everyone to self-defend. It is important to learn from other people's mistakes, but this...

Well I'll be danged. It looks like the text itself does plainly say that the restriction on selling to non-dealers without going through the database is entirely conditioned on the database being certified, and there doesn't appear to be any separate restriction on direct sales. So while the MOU...

You guys talking about buying ammo online... AFAIK the SAFE Act still requires that ammo has to be shipped to an FFL and I don't think the MOU changed that; major sites I see won't ship ammo to NY consumers. What my local shops charge for transferring ammo isn't worth it. I'd as soon just travel...

Armed? Nah, he should have to disarm and spend the entire night crisscrossing the streets of North Philly. Here’s my favorite part: Seems like Mr. Kennedy handed that ADA her ass and saved his skin. She violated a cardinal rule of cross-examination: never ask a question when you don’t know the...

You talking to me? I can only speak for myself but I never called you a liar. I did question whether there’s never a DV response to a first incident at an address, that’s it, and that’s largely irrelevant. Maybe it’s different in NYC but any peace officer can do a DIR, who cares. I assume if you...

Or alternatively you could use legal processes applicable to disarming dangerously mentally ill people with due process, which is not what what happened here, by the police’s public account. Let’s just take the police at their word that they simply confiscated a hunting rifle with expired...

The precinct is literally tweeting it out as a gun grab with #OneLessGun (really sounds like they’re just going to give it back, doesn’t it?). Isn’t it great that they got “ratio’d” for what it is as the kids say on Twitter, while here at nygunforum we have half the community either backing up...

You normally need to either have a secondary dwelling of some sort or at least own property. Plus you generally have to get sponsors who have known you long enough and also live in that county. That's a pretty big barrier to getting a permit. I should add the state didn't make that claim for...

That’s iffy. If you keep it in a case (better yet, a locked case) and they hold it for you and don’t open it themselves then that shouldn’t be considered a transfer. NYSP might take a different view, but the ATF even gives guidance that you can ship guns to yourself with an out-of-state friend...

In other words, you concede that she didn’t need to volunteer it, she was asked. She may well have had no intention of throwing her husband under the bus. She might not have known about the permit issue. When a cop with guns is at your house asking you a question, your choices are answer...

Once they are restocked. ;)

I can only hope you are right! My expectation was for NYSRPA to get a much narrower win that will hopefully wedge further victories. The substantive right at stake can be drawn pretty narrowly and the law could easily be struck down without affecting anything we upstaters do one bit, but if we...

So some folks in California weren’t paying attention and missed the window, and in New York we might not have noticed, that the Duncan decision struck down the California magazine capacity limit a week ago Friday, resulting a week-long MAGAzine free-for-all in California, until the judge...

Cops just love it when you know your rights and don’t cooperate. They love it when “perps” don’t “rat” on each other and they don’t get to go off to officer.com to laugh about their latest collar. But don’t worry, they have inside information about their colleague’s report and they know it’s all...

So a cop is cutting a break when they respond to a call, find no crime has occurred and they don’t make an arrest or seize property? That’s not Bloomberg standards, that’s banana republic standards. You have no idea what happened so you should probably stop talking. Here is a realistic...

By “DV household” you mean you dispatched for a “domestic.” As a cop you know that had there been any probable cause that any crime had been committed they would have had to make an arrest in a domestic violence incident. There was no arrest, hence there was no “domestic violence.” The only...

Well Pittsburgh just banned them, not sure if that runs afoul of state preemption and the flamethrower lobby is probably going to have to get in line, and does the right thing and tosses that whole stupid local law altogether.

How awful, prayers for all his loved ones. But I can think of a lot of things more selfish than suicide and I can think of a few people I know who have done them. At some point it doesn’t help to judge, as others have said, everyone has their breaking point. If he had simply ghosted his family...

Obviously civilians can only be trusted with airsofts for self defense.

Why repost this drivel from a dead website?

It’s hard to tell when people are being sarcastic here, but come on. It’s not “what I approve of.” Shooting your balls in public is against multiple laws and is not a constitutionally protected use of arms. What, was it self-defense? If he shot his dick in the privacy of his own home without...

100,000s fly with firearms out of LGA and JFK? I don’t think so.

I'm glad all you heroes who aren't unicorn NYC pistol/rifle/shotgun permit holders are flying out of LGA and JFK, but I would never do it nor advise anyone else to try. And it's irresponsible to do so without pointing out how publicly and spectacularly sideways attempts at doing this have gone...

Everyone here is missing the much greater risk that something comes up in therapy with his wife's issues and next thing you know she's filing for divorce and slaps him with a baseless restraining order, claiming she's in fear of him and he's at fault for whatever her issues are. He's out on the...

Hellmira.

He's only charged because he shot his own dick off while walking down the street. You can argue that you should have the right to concealed carry without a permit, and he shouldn't be charged with it, but there's no second amendment right to negligent discharge and recklessly handling a firearm...

That's your final answer? If someone shoves a pistol at their own crotch and fires, in public, for all to see, whether intentionally, recklessly, or negligently, that's a constitutionally protected act? And the state has nothing to say about that? Is that really what the framers of the 2nd...
