Don't know the man personally - some I know someone who does, and says he's faker than a right wing democrat holding a $3 bill. Mount Vernon mayor arrested on grand larceny charges MOUNT VERNON - Mount Vernon Mayor Richard Thomas has been arrested on grand larceny charges, according to News...

I hated to state the obvious ... :D ! That would be too easy, right?

[edit - fat fingers, should be Wingdale] oh, how I WISH it was a public range. I would pedal my big wheel bike up there just to shoot. Shooting range tied to Trumps rattles upstate New York neighbors

I am not picking on you. This state has done a great job of brainwashing you. Using Florida or NH or PA or any of the other great states in this nation where there are no training requirements to purchase or carry a handgun, where are the statistics that show people are harming themselves from...

Alistair! Always a pleasure to hear from you sir. Soon as it gets warm, I hope.

Welcome. Don't mind the pizza boxes on the sofa. We are still hung over from the party last week. :D

I assume it's ok with staff - whenever we do classes for new shooters /permit applicants, we are going to hand out NYGF's URL and encourage them to sign up. If you all see a slew of "newbies" up in here, please go easy on them, they are most likely NOT DNC plants, just ordinary folks like you...

Hi Celt, Been a while indeed. Disclosure: I am the primary person that posts from this account. When it's one of my other staff, they will say so. For the most part they will create their own threads, and answer questions as they come up in that thread - until we figure out if they are going to...

Thanks!! This has been a while in the works. Despite our best laid plans, sometimes life throws curveballs at us.

Saltwater60, 15 + years ago when I got the training bug I had to go many miles for mediocre training :banghead:. Thankfully, today a lot of those mediocre places have been replaced mostly by guys and institutions that know how to teach, how to assess, how to run classes. If we are ever up in...

Pod, we are not going to piss down your back and tell you it's raining. In short, this year - no. For all of 2017 all of our team was all over the map retraining, or working on security/firearms related matters. Our goal is to spend 2018 working out the kinks we know are there from that hiatus...

Hello, We are Fortress Consulting Group, based out of Hawthorne, NY Our training division's primary focus is helping shooters develop that mindset necessary to win a gun fight. We believe that the will to win supersedes all other aspects of firearms training, including training and gear...

Yes sir, you are wrong.

quick double tap, assess, back to the low ready while scanning. . .

@Calculon If you are around today (this afternoon), give me a buzz. I got something for you.

@dsdmmat, Can you please explain how to shoot the money target? # of rounds? Which caliber/platform it applies to? Thanks!

Did you mean Shooter of the Year 2017? Forgive me, this cold snap is doing a number on my brain cells!

Lots of real world information. I was caught up in a riot at a concert that devolved in a drawn out gunfight back in the late 1980s, in Jamaica (where I was born and raised). I can attest to the fact that until it happens to you, you have no idea how you are going to function, and that people...

When you look at attendance and member rolls, there are few convincing arguments to be made that the shooting public takes advantage of that place. So yes, the general public in fact does not matter. For contrast, I lived in Yonkers for five years, less than 2 miles away, and did not know a...

Just heard the Yonkers PD put a bug in the mayor's ear, range will stay open, more hours for LE, less weekend hrs, more weekday hrs. A colleague sent me a facebook snap.

Well there is that too. . . but it would not be the most outlandish claim I ever heard.

Interesting. I did not hear that one. There was a lady up in Ardsley who said a bullet from that range struck her in the leg. Weeks later Con Ed decided not to renew that lease.

A contact from the range advised me earlier this morning the range will be closing for good Dec 31st 2017 and that there are plans to eviscerate /excavate the entire guts of the building and pave it over. if you live in the area, and use this range, please let them hear your voice. We cannot...

Not completely correct. - and of course the usual disclaimer - I am not an attorney, nothing I post here is meant to be legal advise. Please do seek legal counsel and/or know the GUN laws for where you travel. Florida, for example, does not recognize a NY pistol license, but you CAN have a...

Where do you shoot in Suffolk? That is where I would start if I was out of my element in my county. Good luck.

:banstick: You gotta believe. I think Ginsberg is going to expire before the end of the year too.

This event (unless I am mistaken) will be at Blue Mountain Sportsman Center, a Westchester County run facility. They would not be honoring the terms of their agreement with the facility if they did this, and possibly jeopardize their ability to use the space in the future.

I dunno man. I downloaded the PDF, it had two sets of cookies. It was a long range day and my blood sugar was crashing, so I ate the more appetizing of two targets and shot the other one. Was I not supposed to do that? It was very tasty! What is the target I shot to be used for? (and don't...

Don't mind the scoring on the target! The shooting was hard enough, then I had to do reading (this thread), writing, AND 'Rithmatic. I believe I shot a 53? (8 x 6) + (1 x 5)

I (we) have a few. Pocket Pro II CED 7000 PACT Club Shot Timer III All of them are like different kinds of mid-level cars. They get the job done, but you have to familiarize and orient yourself to the interface. They have similar functions but different ways of getting those done. I have no...

With a bit of practice, I think I could do this Calculon! (didya miss me?) :)

As an FFL in NY? Nothing except tell her neither federal nor state law allows this. IF I am feeling benevolent, I might call down to the nearest gas station and have them fill her tank. What do you do? I am neither an FFL nor a police officer.

I specifically said transfer because non licensees cannot "sell" a gun outside of their home state, you can sell a gun in your home state, and you can "transfer" a gun from your home state. Yup, I did not say she attempted to transfer a gun, I said you can't even do that under the circumstances...

Cyber space is hard, but I don't go life walking on eggshells, as anyone who knows me would attest. So...what exactly would you like me to do? Why are people so argumentative here? 1075tech asked a question - expressing ignorance. I answered to the best of my knowledge, ability and experience...

Primarily because executors of estates are allowed 10 or 15 or 20 days (I forget) to resolve the estate. Also, in general if you have a firearm unloaded, wrapped in a box or plain paper bag, and are attempting to relinquish said gun, typically no charges are attached to your actions...

According to the release: The defendant was processed at the Sheriff’s Office and arraigned before Town of Southeast Justice Gregory Folchetti, sitting on behalf of the Town of Kent Justice Court, and was released on her own recognizance pending a future appearance in the Kent Court.

Where did I assign fault? I clearly said if I was that cop, AND if I had the powers. I don't know the state side of things to determine what and how much discretion troopers have on a matter like this. How about you tell us? I would like to know.

oh boy. Traveler From Texas to Maine Had Unregistered Handguns in Kent | Putnam County Sheriff's Department To think the woman went into a GUNSTORE to try and sell a gun, instead of trying to turn tricks at a rest stop, or selling those guns on the streets. If I was that responding officer...

Great, more traffic for Gary Slider over at Handgunlaw. I was over there when they were carry.org - good folks there. If that bill becomes law expect galoshes to sell out in a blink. NYC will have to ask Miami, Tuscon, Charlotte, Nashville, and Philly how the vacuumed the clotting blood out of...

Agnostic, Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Buddhist, - whatever Deity you recognize I am begging you to send a few silent words upstairs that this asshole be indicted, with Mr. Andrew Coumo right behind him. If the jails are as full as they say, let us also pray they find room in the inn. U.S...

This is sold.

@nortatoga Hi Nortatoga, You may be right - in 2014 NRA Training Counselors (like myself) were given updated training instructions that a) NRA instructors would need to show proof of continuing education and/or b) activity as an instructor. I made a query about a month ago, and that policy...

@Glenn B Hi Glenn, If you held the NRA LE Patrol Rifle, Select Fire or Tactical Instructor ratings you could lateral into the non-LE instructor program. I'll reach out to the NRA today to see if they allow NRA LE to bypass NRA BIT. I hold NRA LE Pistol/Shotgun & Tactical Weapons...

That other place is being flogged like a Avis rental car. Welcome Joe!

This (calendar) is...simply amazing - and not speaking on my behalf, but for everyone and anyone who visits this cool place.

Hello all, We are running the NRA Basic Pistol and NRA Basic Rifle Instructor courses this Feb/March. Do you have the drive, experience and dedication to be a certified NRA instructor? Best way to find out is to get your feet wet! All NRA instructor candidates must sit the NRA's "Basic...

I have shot there, was a member there before the renovation, and I know some of the regulars there as well as some of the RSOs and instructors. Clean, neat, well run, staff is not breathing down your neck. People are people, and sometimes we make different types of connections with different...

Well what are you deficient in that you can work with in a small space? Will they allow a timer? Most of the current ones can be programmed to ignore other shots from close by. You can work on tactical reloads, and ammo malfunction drills. With the target close to you, or with the ability to...

I have to agree with Calculon, I can have a HazMat team over there this evening to relieve you of the hassle, and nice find!

I have to agree here. As a dude who is still LEARNING how to shoot pistols (about 20 years and counting), and who from time to time helps others to shoot, if you are not a proficient shooter your first gun - if it is going to be your only gun for a spell should be relatively large (not a micro...
