    Do you need a background check to purchase a muzzleloader in NY?

    I didn’t, but that was pre ammo-background-check. Perhaps just another case of a curmudgeon shop creating rules out of thin air?

    Justice Clarence Thomas missing?

    Hopefully not the Scalia treatment, I think that's a major concern given the climate nowadays.

    Justice Clarence Thomas missing?

    Justice Thomas did not show up for proceedings yesterday, and the court did not offer any explanations as to his absence. Illness, or worse? https://x.com/YgorPetrov/status/1779992590625947919

    Shootout near Onondaga county, officers down

    I got an alert from my scanner app about an officer involved shooting in Onondaga, still have the alert set because I used to work in the county. Didn’t listen to it, had other nonsense going on. Now wish I did..

    New voter registration numbers

    Which in turn would be the fourth term for Obama, I surmise.

    New voter registration numbers

    ESPECIALLY if he dies a week before Election Day. They’ll milk that cadaver for a good month of photo ops and PR before acknowledging he’s kicked the bucket.

    Batavia Wally World freakout over pellet gun return to store!

    I recently bought a handgun (Ruger Wrangler .22 revolver) from a local shop in town. I walked out with my new purchase in hand, in the middle of town, a hundred yards from the courthouse front steps, and the county sheriff department. Nothing awful happened. An older gentleman leaving a nearby...

    Police took possession of E. Jean Carroll's unregistered gun after her testimony in Trump defamation trial

    The majority of states don’t require registration…. Oh wait, she lived in Warwick NY? Why is she not being charged with the felony your or I would undoubtedly be charged with, were we to be in NY and in possession of a handgun sans license?

    Switzerland found guilty of not adequately addressing climate change

    I’m pretty sure that Switzerland gives as many fucks, rat’s asses, or whatever other currency you care to mention, as you and I do.

    Nearest and best PA gun stores? (I’m an idiot)

    Sadly in the boroughs your options are considerably infringed upon, as you’re no doubt noticing. I’m sure someone will correct me if I’m wrong, but you can’t have any firearms in NYC without some form of permit, even long guns. Hell, defending yourself in any fashion will likely land you in...

    Nearest and best PA gun stores? (I’m an idiot)

    Drive to PA. Find gun shops. Ogle all the things you’d earn felony convictions for if you were allowed to take them home. Decide you want less infringement, and move to PA. Revisit gun shops and let the acquisitions begin! Oh, and if you’re the proud possessor of a liberal democrat progressive...

    Hog hunt, what gun to take?

    Depends on the size and expected range/stand-off distance. 300 BO is not something I’d go after a hundred pound boar with. One of the 7mm’s or the .30-06, with a hefty bullet that will penetrate (Barnes X or similar maybe).

    F/S B Square Scope Mount for Ruger Blackhawk

    Here is a B Square scope mount I removed from my Ruger Old Model Blackhawk. When I purchased the pistol this mount was holding a rather awful Tasco red dot sight. I’m not one for anything but iron sights on a single action revolver, so here it is. $25 FTF New Milford PA/Southern Tier NY ish...

    EPA makes new EV/pollution rules for passenger vehicles

    I like renting Teslas from Hertz... they practically throw them at you for the price of their cheapest economy car. Last one I rented, for a quick weekend trip to LI, was $38 a day. I topped it off at home before I left with the included 110/220 charger, drove to my destination with one 15...

    Undocumented Immigrants Have Right to Own Guns, Judge Rules (merged)

    I did not see that coming. It appears that the recent undocumented and thus illegal immigrants are the new protected class, who can break any and all laws with impunity. This must really, really sting my Colombian friend of two decades ago, who was deported in the middle of attaining his...

    No Restrictions Impulse Buy!

    All of them, of course. I like classic military arm/sidearm pairings, like a 1911 and a Garand or Thompson, a Luger and a Mauser, etc. I like unusual stuff like the PPSh or Reising… I very much want an original build Gatling on a period carriage. A small naval cannon would be amazing on the...

    DONE Gen2 FDE Thordsen plus buffer

    Gen2 FDE Thordsen removed from my MSR. Buffer kit to suit as well, it wouldn’t fit my choice of stock. Appears to be Commercial diameter, carbine length, assuming it came with the lower which is a Ballistic Advantage (I purchased the rifle as a complete NY legal rig). $65 shipped USPS priority...

    Letitia James Files Lawsuit Against Worlds Largest Beef Producer for ‘Misleading Public’ About its Impact on Climate

    Courts always like to throw around standing… ok, where the fuck is her standing? JBS doesn’t have a business location in the state, and the fact that their products and trucks traverse the state only means that end consumers here are purchasing their stuff. I sincerely hope they tell her to...

    Jamaal Bowman, fire alarm puller and now: 9-11 denier

    What a rabid assclown. Let him say that shit somewhere in NYC, preferably near an NYPD precinct or FDNY firehouse. I could see someone punching the shit out of his smug, arrogant face.

    Trust VivekGRamaswamy or not ?

    I’d vote for a Sikh descendant over Vivek. He is too conciliatory and agreeable for me. I’m probably on the shorter list but I want someone to come in with a blowtorch and melt some anti American politician’s brains.

    What's your one "go to" for home protection?

    Well, I have a pair of cuddly little border collies, a pair of loveable German shepherds, an abundance of pillows, and the social worker can be here in moments… If that doesn’t help, I have some industrial grade zip ties, a cauldron of meat sauce, and an entire wooded hillside crawling with...

    8 year old shot and dies after driving a 4-wheeler through a shooting range

    Holy hell that would mess me up, if a kid I knew crossed into my line of fire just as I was pressing send on a round (or pellet, or arrow, or whatever projectile). I can't even imagine the pain all the way around here... range user knew the family, probably first name basis with the kid, family...

    Plaintiffs needed to sue NYS over ban on non NY residents getting NY CCW permits

    If we could get a critical mass of NY expats and nearby folks that travel into or through NY regularly and don’t wish to be made into felons, this might be a worthwhile thing to attach your name to… I’d like one just so I can drive from PA to visit my brother in NH, without fear of being...

    Remington Arms is closing it's doors in NY.

    She’s suing PepsiCo? They have deeper pockets than the state of NY itself. Also, multiple facilities in NY borders, that employ a whole lot of people (Frito plant in Kirkwood, Pepsi in Clinton’s Ditch, and a whole bunch of Pepsi Bottling Group locations in NYC, just off the top of my head)...

    UPDATE: Lackawanna County PA out of state LTCF

    Maybe it’s the grey in my beard, but I have never been asked for ID purchasing ammo in PA, even prior to moving here. Your second sentence, I wholeheartedly agree with, and would like to add tar and feathers as a first offense penalty for such treachery.

    AFT says solvent traps are silencers

    My work truck (1989 Peterbilt 379, 3406B Cat motor) has four filters on it. One is the size of a 2 liter bottle. They are changed every 8000 miles, which winds up being pretty frequent when I drive around 1500 miles/week. Farmer business owner believes frequent oil and lube changes are best...

    Nope. Haven’t been in NY, and they tend to stay on their side of the line, as a rule.

    New Jersey Permit to Carry

    Likely a more rural area. Lots of decent folk in the less urbanized areas, similar to NY. Especially so when you get down to south and central farmland areas.

    Perfect. I’ll have all my firing pins micro engraved with FU. Then, when I shoot, all my spent primers will be neatly marked “Frank Underwood”.

    I-81 at the state line? They’ll sit there and chat with the PA staties sometimes.

    I see NYSP camera cars regularly on the interstates and off, in Broome and Tioga counties. I’ll start taking note of unit numbers.

    You’ve never seen a NYSP car with cameras? They’re hardly unusual.

    Buying ammunition in Pa ?

    Which part? Where I live, my observation of a NYSP car equipped with trunk mounted cameras in a spot they don’t often sit (I live on the road in question and travel it daily), or my noting that a new LGS is opening up nearby on the free-er side of the border?

    BREAKING: Pro-Palestine protesters appear to be threatening to storm through the White House fences and are threatening Secret Service agents.

    There was a little splatter of this shit in Binghamton yesterday, on the river walk just north of Court St. near Boscov’s. Don’t know how big it got, little people with big signs were still showing up when we went past. WTF are they crying about anyway? Hamas dumped a load of rockets into...

    RFK Jr. Implores Biden for Secret Service Protection After Intruder Arrested at His Home Twice in One Day

    Don’t fucking beg. Handle it yourself, you’re a Kennedy, you can afford it. While you’re at it, get your CCW and start training. Then go outside and tell the trespasser to get the fuck off your lawn like a normal person. Or, whine to your party leadership, who quite probably invited the fool to...

    Buying ammunition in Pa ?

    I was merely pointing out seemingly aberrant NYSP behavior which seemed to coincide with a well known gun shop moving from NY to PA as well as a run on ammo, by NY residents, to PA shops. It’s casual observation and speculation for me, that’s what the internet is for! Don’t think for a moment...

    Speaker McCarthy, is no longer speaker of the house.

    I just want a video clip of 220 voices saying “Johnson!” In unison… for shitposting to assorted people’s twatter feeds and such, par example. Sometimes the inner 12 year old wins out :headbang:

    Neither… PA-858. Thought it was odd, that isn’t exactly a high traffic area either.

    Buying ammunition in Pa ?

    I live a rifle shot from the border now… there has been a NYSP car equipped with cameras sitting by the roadside just inside NY on and off the past week. Coincidentally, or perhaps not, a Tioga county gun shop bought a place down the street from me on the PA side and has been busily working on...
