So, only one party has a say on this commission? WTF? This is starting to sound like taxation without representation...

For schools, there should be a couple of floating holidays so that each school can close for holidays that are specific to the majority culture in their community. I know there has to be a set number of days of education, so this would give the variability needed to ensure all students get the...

Most likely. However, I believe that having all of the lower courts in multiple jurisdictions with extensive opinions like stayed will give the plaintiffs a stronger case to argue towards the Supreme Court. Especially when the circuit court doesn't give anything more a 2-3 sentence reason in...

Wow, the state is delusional... Here's a rebuttal to that... Does the plaintiff want to carry a firearm for self-defense? Period, end of story, the 2nd Amendment is implicated. So, now having minor children live in the home indicates moral character????

It's simple long division - how many times does 79 go into 20.

And, how many drunk drivers have financed their cars with a major bank? Are those transactions going to be flagged? What about hackers who buy computers with credit cards?

Hmmm....whatever happened when everyone used to drive the classic cars from the 80s and earlier? the huge hood on a Chevy caprice or old Jeep Wagoneer dwarves a Suburban.

This is like the deer crossing signs - a feel good measure that is practically useless. Who thinks whales will only stay within 60 miles of land? They have the entire ocean to travel and they definitely travel way further out than 60 miles. I would only support this if there were specific...

Absolutely. And, while in port, they have to slow to reduce wake. That is why many ships will have a tug accompany them, just in case they need the assist.

Most cargo ships travel at 15-24 knots, although there has been a trend to reduce speed to save fuel on containerships that are not carrying time sensitive cargo (perishable, etc) to reduce fuel costs. Especially since the ports have had long delays in offloading. It's not just the increased...

Announcement from Marcus Lemonis - Good Sam Camping Blog Camping World / Good Sam won the bankruptcy auction.

I'd like to know what part of upstate is "roaring back to life". My business is down and I just had a conversation with the teller at my bank - she said everybody is complaining about how bad the economy is. In my area, commercial property values are dropping and residential values are flat...

Overall a decent rally. I wish we had more people attend, I really do miss the amount of interest and action we had in 2013 in Albany. Kudos to the Buffalo PD for keeping the snowflakes separate and watching the antifa group. I did see a couple of people mill into the crowd that were wearing...

Visit their website....really scary. www.Redneckrevolt.org They have chapters in several states, their facebook page has 11K members. Their North country chapter (only 1 in NYS) has 193 members on their FB page. Yes, some of those are probably keyboard warriors, but how many don't join the FB...

And, Trump paid higher taxes than Kaine (20%), Obama (19%), Romney (14.1%), and the socialist Sanders (13.5%). Surprisingly, the Clintons paid a higher rate at 31%. MSNBC's "Tax Records" Non-Story: Trump Made $150MM, Paid 25% Tax Rate, More Than Romney, Bernie | Zero Hedge Hillary Clinton's 2015...

Even MSNBC's sister station CNBC has turned on Maddow: Op-Ed: Donald Trump just got a nice victory, thanks, of all people, to Rachel Maddow

Look at the profit margins! No wonder people are running guns in from out of state. If NYC really wanted to stop gun runners, they should just legalize the sale and possession to be equivalent of at least the rest of NYS. Then the prices wouldn't be high enough to support gun running.

I have mixed feelings on this leak as well. I will say that I do appreciate that WikiLeaks is withholding the actual source code, but the leak is still there and source code is effectively in the public domain. The United States was formed partly in opposition to oppressive government policies...

Voters Give Cuomo His Best Favorability & Job Performance Ratings in More than Two Years | Siena College (New York) They polled 723 New Yorkers. Then look at the "Crosstabs" link on that page to see the actual questions and the actual breakdown of who was polled. 47% Dem, 22% Rep, 26% Ind 40%...

I think Goyabean hit the nail on its head. The store employee probably called the tip line to get the $500 cash payout from the state. How fast does a complaint to that tip line get transferred to a dispatch center?

I 100% agree that he was justified in drawing at that point. I just think his actions leading up to that point were bad decisions, regardless of what was said or done before the video started. I get that he is an officer and has the authority to act even when off-duty, but he put himself into a...

Nobody got shot. I think at the point where the officer drew his firearm, he was justified because the group of kids were getting more aggressive and he was surrounded...but I also think he showed bad decision making in letting it get that far. He had plenty of opportunities to de-escalate...if...

Video surfaces of off-duty LAPD officer firing gun during altercation with juveniles and, here's one of the longer videos: I'm not sure what to think of this situation. It appears the off-duty was upset about the kids crossing his yard, yes, trespassing. But, he confronted them and escalated...

More details...Dispatch calls detail accidental shooting of two deputies in Hilton

I would never carry that. Heck, my EMS squad has a debate every once in a while where some members want to use the blue tombstone EMT patch. I avoid those patches because they look too much like a trooper patch, I prefer the old yellow EMT patch. One less reason to get shot at. I prefer to do...

Perhaps our side should follow their organizing guide and make our voices heard as well. I took a quick look at the appendix for organization and it outlines the process for a successful event including time frames to make media contacts, etc. Maybe is we had a guide like this for the Albany...

An article with a bit more info, that doesn't sound as bad... Sheriff's Office: Two jail deputies injured in accidental shooting in Hilton

Two Monroe County deputies injured in firearm accident Sounds like some deputies need to take gun safety 101. Cleaning a firearm while it's loaded? The 1st thing you do when manipulating any firearm is to check if it is loaded! And, how were they cleaning the barrel when loaded? Then, picking...

I got there around 12:30 today. Good turnout and the dealers I talked to seemed to be happy with decent sales. Of course, I walked out empty handed since most everything was overpriced. But, it was a day out, bumped into a few friends, and ogled lots of guns...so I can't complain.

The no loaded firearms rule is at a lot of gun shows and I can see the safety aspect of that rule. Quite possibly a requirement to state this and have a firearms check in order to qualify for insurance.

Trump "sending in the feds" in any way more than increasing ATF investigations and federal prosecutors is a major violation of states rights. But, here's a question - has the governor moved the state police into Chicago? What about the state's national guard? There are things that can be done...

Westchester Residents Say Nazi Literature, Confederate Flag Items Were Sold At Gun Show More liberals bashing the gun show. The books are historical books, not "Nazi literature" and we all know the Confederate flag has historical American significance despite the racial undertones that the...

I don't think even the best shocks in a 3500 dually could support her.

Just think....one wrong tweet could cause a market collapse! or worse. LOL A prime example of technology run amok.

I moved out of NYC to rural America and I don't want to look back. Between the overcrowding, crime, high cost of living, and constant increasing government control (red light cameras, speed cameras, facial recognition, etc), I would never move back. And, I have a BS in a hard science and have a...

NY State Senate Bill S879 Personally, I prefer full repeal, but this is a start. I do like the fact that this reverses all of the safe act BS north of Westchester as well as throws out the permit recertification process. The summary says this would have a positive financial impact on the state...

National Reciprocity Bill Will Apply to Non-Resident Gun Carry Permits

Why am I not surprised? And, why am I also not surprised that MSM is not mentioning this?

Find a concrete wall and pop some of those air bags used for shipping...might trigger the shotspotter. I have heard of these popping in parking garages causing police response.

Czech government tells its citizens how to fight terrorists: Shoot them yourselves Looks like the Czech Republic is fighting against the EU on their gun control measures. Hopefully, the UN doesn't try to follow the EU's footsteps.

This article really gives me reason to lean away from foreign hacking. Why would the DNC refuse to give the FBI access to their servers after reporting the hacking attempts? Did the 3rd party company create a forensic image of the drives involved before any mitigation? Why would the FBI make a...

Another thing to do periodically, perform a google search for your password. There are places out there publicly posting hacked password lists and if a site you used a password on was hacked, it may find it's way to one of those public hacked password lists.

If it doesn't help us in NYC, we can all go to NJ (and carry concealed, wow!), then enter NYC, it becomes interstate travel and invokes this law. Could this also help in the state parks? Thinking of NJ, don't they have restrictions on hollow point? How would that be handled under this law...

Welcome aboard.

Looking at this site, there appears to be a change of venue and a conference set for Jan 12, 2017: Lewis v. Schneiderman et al (1:16-cv-00692), New York Western District Court

Sounds like neither charge is SAFE Act related. pistol, probably without a permit, and the shotgun is an NFA violation.

I viewed that link....all it did was prove to me that my thoughts on extreme liberals owning firearms was correct. These people do not want anybody to own guns because they have no self control and deep down, they know they would use a gun inappropriately. Unfortunately, lack of self-control is...

I'm curious, when serving or executing a warrant, does the team have to have the written warrant present? I assumed they did, but your post of the supervisor giving the wrong address made me question this. It should be a no-brainer double check to verify the address written on the warrant by...

I've paid the toll over the Tappan Zee, straight $5. I'm Ok with that program because it eases congestion and that reduces pollution and allows me to travel quicker. But, Why do they need facial recognition?!?!?
