There are over 1400 mayors who represent cities of 30k residents or more. Add in the small village mayors, and there are nearly 10x that number. Eric Adams and his 60 mayors amount to a fart in a windstorm.
I used to make the hike out there from Rochester on a regular basis. A couple friends and I would go shoot for a couple hours and then go hit Duff's for wings.
The other half now has her permit and wants to learn how to shoot. The stepdaughter's boyfriend (we like this one) wants to learn...
While I agree that he is generally a blathering idiot, what he’s running his mouth about is less than a week old.
There was a petition filed with the US Supreme Court in June of this year. Last Monday, that petition was denied...
Unless you're in California or Massachusetts, which require magazine disconnects. No magazine = no firing pin strike.
I seem to recall there's another case working that angle.
Delta enacted some goofy policies regarting firearms after someone went apeshit and shot a bunch of people in an airport. I think it may have been in Florida. They were pretty much alone in their goofiness though...
I'm saying that New York State is going to do whatever the hell the want to do, regardless of what the Supreme Court says. Decades of unchecked corruption and arrogance have led New York lawmakers to feel like they can get away with whatever the hell they want. Herr Cuomo STILL thinks he's...
And then the state says "fuck you" to the supreme court and enacts an even more restrictive law. New York has already set that precedent, several states have followed suit, and the supreme court has refused to intervene.
So I repeat myself:
"I tried to go to a range in PA, but they were closed. I brought all this ammo with me, and my wife is gonna be pissed that I'm bringing it all home."
Make them prove otherwise.
So she goes from screwing her husband for money to screwing her constituents for money. I like people like this. At least we know what she's all about.
Livingston is all VHF now. The entire county has switched to a trunked system where all of the fire, EMS, police, and public words departments can talk to each other.
The law is technically still on the books. NYS Penal Law 265.37 - Unlawful possession of certain ammunition feeding devices. That part of the law was struck down in federal court as an 'arbitrary restriction" that violated the Second Amendment. There has been some debate as to the applicability...
Was just sitting at home, having a conversation with the other half about my shitty day. The phone rings. It was from a number I didn't recognize with a 202 area code, so I bitch-buttoned it.
I picked up the phone a few minutes later and read the voicemail transcript. It was a robocall that...
A million-dollar policy will usually run in the ballpark of $300-$400 annually. Usually, the ranges where you intend to teach will want to be named on the policy as also insured. Make sure your agent will be able to make those changes for you as needed.
Some instructors will specify that BIT...
The BIT is mandatory, and doesn't get waived. In fact, you are required to retake BIT if you are adding a rating and it has been more than two years since last completing BIT. The BIT is less about guns and more about how to teach.
Insurance is pretty much mandatory if you're going to do more...
They did.
The British march on Lexington and Concord in 1775 was for the express purpose of disarming the populace and to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock.
Retread. Was out of the game for a couple years after pushing an ambulance for nearly 20. Decided to re-up when I joined the fire department.
There were 17 students in my class. I was the oldest, and the only refresher. I very quickly established myself as the salty old bastard that people...
This has been my position for a long time.
Crazy Uncle Joe may send a bunch of soldiers and sailors off to take up arms against their own countrymen, but what will be left for them when they return?
Someone needs to go back and watch The Patriot.
Agreed. Infringement is infringement, whether it's 49 days or 49 weeks. But if you're going to be ass-raped by the government anyway, I think we'd all agree that 49 days is better than six months.
Livingston is also much more efficient. From the beginning of the process, they said "We only issue concealed carry" and actually had that box pre-filled on the application. And from the day my other half dropped off her application to the day her permit arrived in the mail, it was exactly 49...
The State form requires four references. It is (and has been) a NYS requirement. The individual counties take some latitude when it comes to where the reside.
It's part of the Antonyuk challenge. This was one of the provisions that was allowed to stand when the TRO was issued last week.
Not to defend her, the memo, or any of this other bullshit, but it is technically correct.
Remember - NYS Penal Law bans all manner of possession of handguns, and then adds back exemptions. One of those exemptions is for permit holders. They just want the law enforced with a strict reading...
I just went to their website, and it appears as if the day-of-week restriction has been removed. I suspect it was probably originally implemented to better manage traffic and social distancing during COVID. Not saying I approve, but at least it's no longer an issue.
Erie is GTG. If they're caught up, you may get it same-day. If they're backed up, they'll drop in in the mail and you'll usually get it within a week. Be cautious going in around lunch time or towards the end of the day. They push high volume through there, so they may cut off lines a little...
