Here's another case I forgot about that shows the law is the law: self-defense does exist in NY, even when the "victim" is a straight perp animal. Prince Edmonds was one of the worst perps in Staten Island up until yesterday when he got himself dirted by another skell in a broad daylight...

So other than immediate approval, the process I have to go through as part of my retirement is exactly the same as any NYC civilian. Holy shit! This sucks balls. I can skip all this and keep my guns based on HR218 alone, but then I won't even be able to buy ammo in NY, definitely not another...

So retirement means following NY’s shit laws. I’m about to have my first gun permit ever. Politics aside, this is a different thing to me. I want to buy one more handgun before I have to schlep to 1PP every time I get permission to buy one. I have a .22, multiple big and small 9’s, two full...

Found a bunch of these cases in my range’s bucket today. What could they be? It’s a .30-06 case cut down. See the comparison to a full .30-06. Any ideas? Got me curious. There was a lot of them. It struck me as strange that someone would go through so much trouble then leave them all there...

Any unemployment experts here? I have a question about my wife's unemployment situation. Unfortunately it is re:NJ, but maybe someone can offer insight.

Old school leather revolver holsters. Great condition. Appear to be the same holster, just different colors. $15 each, $8 flat rate shipping. Paypal accepted.

Does anyone use one for hunting? My uncle has the cheap model. They all use replaceable blades. I am considering this foldable which has both a regular and replaceable blade. Expert Voice discount has it at $41. That’s a great price.

Anyone need .308 brass? I have 67 pieces of a brand that I learned this week my rifle does not like. It’s stamped “MEN16”. I have no clue where I got it. Probably some surplus that someone at my range was shooting. It’s all good brass, just doesn’t cycle in my rifle. Just pay the flat rate...

Anyone ever order from Bear Creek Arsenal? They had a big sale last week so I ordered a .223 Wylde 10.5” side charging upper for some range fun. The package arrived today: a .223 Wylde stainless normal upper. I sent an email but I’m on the fence what to do. Obviously if they ship me the other...

If the article is correct, she blatantly lied on the petition to establish herself as a valid petitioner. https://www.9news.com/mobile/article/news/local/next/colorados-red-flag-law-used-to-target-officer-involved-in-fatal-shooting/73-f52ddaca-893d-493b-983c-db9ecf250ad3

I’m trying to decide whether or not a $200 Leopold VX Freedom 3-9 is worth the extra $70 over the Vortex Crossfire II 3-9. I have had nothing but good experiences with Vortex scopes and red dots, but I pulled no punches with the rifle this one will be mounted on (.308) so I’m considering a...

Woke up bright and early this morning to execute a no-knock on a felon and frequent DV offender who we came to find out was back to threatening girls with firearms again. Here’s a picture of his pit bull after I brought it back in because it was cold outside. Thought of this place and its fools...

I’m considering a new AR upper for deer hunting. Preferably a pistol, but only if the barrel length wouldn’t affect effectiveness. I’m looking at: .350 Legend .50 Beowulf .450 Bushmaster .458 Socom 6.8 SPC. I’m not interested in the Grendel. Also considering just sticking with my 7.62x39...

I’m considering a new AR for deer hunting and the .350 Legend currently tops my list. Apparently it is a perfect deer round, is legal is certain states during muzzleloader/shotgun season, and is very easy to reload. Has anyone else researched this round? Before I jump I want to know more.

Well after a slow ride down the shore today we finally made it to Backwoods Trophy Outfitters in Ahoskie, NC around 1600 today. The lodge was empty when we roller in and the hunters before us left cash right out on the table. Learned pretty quickly that we’re in a different world down here...

I am considering learning how to fletch my own arrows. I have 9 perfectly useable arrows sitting unused because they’ve got mangled vanes. The archery shop’s price to re-fletch is such that it’s better to just buy new arrows. I can’t see wasting these ones though. Does anyone fletch their own...

I bought myself a new Outback recently. After a few days, I couldn’t help but notice a loud sound coming from my fuel system. Spoke to a “mechanic” at my range who told me to look at these. Apparently they reduce sound coming from the fuel system. Has anyone else tried one of these for their...

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. I will have close information as time goes on. I’ve dealt with the deceased a LOT in the past. My kid’s school is within sight of the shooting scene. Thankfully, I have training in Queens today. ;) Burglary-gone-wrong eyed in Staten Island...

Some of you may remember me saying months ago that criminal possession of a weapon in NY can and will be charged in cases where the weapon was initially possessed legally but was used in an illegal manner, changing possession to criminal. No shot I can find that thread, but I’m sure some...

Can someone ID this clip for me and tell me what purpose it serves? It seems to only mess up ejection and make loading tougher on the fingers. This shotgun was given to me awhile ago and came like this. I rarely use it so it was never a problem. This weekend I shot it a bunch and now I want to...

Is anyone familiar with this part of the Adirondacks? I am hoping to go look at a piece of property there next weekend. I am highly interested as it appears to be extremely isolated but not too far off of I-90. It’s about 4 1/2 hours of driving for me.

Well I got back yesterday from our 2019 trip to Hoffman Notch. We camp at Marion Pond which is at around 2200’ above Bailey Pond. Had a blast, especially since 2 Army buddies came, but man this place really kicks our asses every year. So heading in we figured we were good this time to find the...

Who’s got camping packing lists? I made one last year but I think I handwrote it. Making one on my computer for this year which I will keep for good. At the end of April I’m camping again in Hoffman Notch. Hope to do another trip with my wife in the summer. I’m pretty meticulous when it comes...

Some of you may have seen that I shot my first USPSA match on Saturday morning. I’m really, really pissed I waited so long to do this!! First off, let me say that the gun running the match is my club president and a plaintiff in the case just taken by SCOTUS. I’m proud to be able to say that...

Does this possible new action mechanism defeat semi-auto bans? Also, since it is so different, it could defeat the “AR-15 patterned” type bans such as NYC has. Franklin Armory announces the Providence | RECOIL

A Death Of Ethics: Is Hunting Destroying Itself? I had no idea a lot of what's mentioned in this article was allowed around the country. I do believe in hunting ethically. I will always strive to view the animals I kill as gifts deserving respect.

Let’s discuss handgun optics in a dedicated thread. I just ordered the Vortex Venom from Amazon. $229 and no tax (I “seller shopped” until I found one, FUAC). Now I have to decide once and for all what I want to do as far as mounting options. I am leaning towards a dedicated cut and nice...

I have a chance to pic one up cheap. Looks to be from 1982 or so and is in mint condition with 2 sets of wood grips. It’s a .357, looks to be a 4” barrel or so?

My buddy recently moved from NYC to Orange County. He is being told that to transfer his guns from his NYC premise permit to his Orange County permit, he will have to ship them FFL to FFL. Does this sound right? Has anyone dealt with this issue before? I know the premise permit thing is the...

Any idea when the stickers are going out? I ordered one on 9/19.

Does anyone know where I can find the specific descriptions of legal hunting implements? IE, broadhead descriptions, legal devices that can be on a bow, etc. The DEC website doesn’t really go into detail. I searched some links they provide and either am missing something or its not there...

Finally did it! Well, doing it. I’m taking a break right now. City-boy hunters don’t usually grow up butchering our own, but it’s in my blood (mom’s dad was a union butcher). Finally started doing it myself last year and got around to making sausage for the first time today. I cooked the...

This beauty is possibly up for grabs but the wife of the deceased owner is not accepting low ball offers. Can anyone help me with a value range? The barrel is not original, it’s High Standard. There’s some slop in the trigger. Someone clearly tried refinishing it as well. According to what we...

I've been invited to fill some nuisance permits in Orange County on Friday with my boss. I know nothing about this type of hunting. I know we have a few farmers here. Help! What implements can I use now? Can I shoot a velvet buck (my dream!)?

I was recently asked to write two motions for a family court proceeding someone I know is involved in. Thankfully she ignored the old "cops aren't lawyers!" line and saved herself a ton of money asking me to write them instead of her previous, worthless, expensive attorney. As part of my job in...

After 3-4 years of back and forth politically and in the media, my precinct is getting online with the body cameras this week. The training is going on this week, with the cops wearing them starting after they attend. Since the city hasn’t made an agreement with my union yet, the Sergeants are...

I saw it quick so I’m not positive, but did I just see a commercial from the NYS Democratic party that said “End Concealed Carry”? I’m fairly certain I did. Anyone else see this?

A friend asked me this question and I know we have some knowledgeable folks posting here. Can he bring a long arm to Wyoming that doesn't have a scope on it? He booked a jackalope and snipe hunt there for next February 31st and wants to use his original Dutch 1511 Serpentine Arquebus but from...

Going for pigs again monday, same place as last year. Not the most exciting hunt but I had fun last year and the meat was amazing so why not give it another go? Last year I used my PSA KS-47 with a red dot on it. I want to switch it up this year. Unfortunately my AR-10 is not yet sighted in...

NEWS ALERT: FEDERAL JUDGE REJECTS CALIFORNIA MAG BAN

I recently built a basic M4 replica of my rifle from the Army using an 80% lower. Thinking it would be cool to have my old serial number on it, I checked my records and managed to find the serials of the rifles of brought on my first and second deployments. I can’t decide which to put on the...

Had someone pose this question to me because of my domestic violence work but it is more of a hunting regs question. The person is under an Order of Protection and cannot have guns for 1 year. They want to hunt. They don’t bow hunt. He wants to use a crossbow during gun season. The question is...

Ok so NC guided is out and OH DIY is in for next year’s (finally) bowhunting trip. Been tossing the idea of finally taking a hunting trip around for awhile, always end up cancelling in the end. The motivation to finally do it is that this will happen just after my 40th birthday. I am currently...

I’m having a problem with the follower on my ASC .308 5rd mag getting stuck in the down position. It feels fine as I load. The follower slides down easily and evenly. Once it is down, it sometimes comes up after the first round, but that’s it. I tried taking it apart and reversing the spring...

Looking over all the recommendations on how to best clean my deer’s skull. Currently it is the entire head, sitting in a styrofoam cooler in front of my house. I’m limited in space, no backyard, no garage. So whatever I do has to be done in front of my house. I’m currently leaning towards...
