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...
