Apparently the Corrections Officers that were Fired received letters informing them they had to Surrender any Firearms carried on their Badges, and ostensibly any "assault weapons" and magazines over ten rounds, since their Officer Status has been revoked.
CO's are having to surrender Handguns held on their Badges.

Not surprised by that.
It somewhat came as a surprise to me on the form of "Oh shit, I didn't think of that."
Friend who's former State Corrections (got out when the local Prison was closed) asked me if who would take his a former co-worker's handguns that he had on his Badge and how it worked...meant to post this Monday, but....Squirrel!
Neither they nor us should be compelled to beg and pay indulgences to the State for permission to have a handgun let alone register it...NY is the only State in the Union that make this demand.
Agreed.

Welcome to the world of having no special privileges. Like all the rest of us.
So if you quit your job, you lose your 2A rights?
I think he's merely making the point that there shouldn't be special classes of people and the elected elites enforcers shouldn't receive "preferred rights" regular citizens can't exercise.
The COs can go through the same miserable process everyone else is forced to go through to exercise their rights.
And for the record I am in favor of having all legal law abiding citizens the same gun rights that NY LEOs can have.

30 years or so ago the NY COs went on strike. The state pulled the same move of you can’t carry on your badge outside of work. MOST COs learned lesson and got permits and didn’t carry on badge. Hopefully they learned the lesson then
The fact that a vocation can instill special privilege is reprehensible... It should not exist! No different for a Judge or Elected Representative... When you step out of your office, courtroom, jail, police station, etc., you are a citizen first and only!
I know that won't sit well with some, and that's ok, but those it might abrade, are those who enjoy those privileges, so those jaded opinions really are moot.
My opinion isn't anti anybody, it's anti unconstitutional behavior, all things being EQUAL, lol, and the promotion of special Privilege by vocation...

Yeah, I heard this was coming. I told my local CO’s that I would store and assist them getting permits until resolved. If they still have the badge they can turn them in to an FFL while they get their permits. But many have NON-NYS compliant stuff and that would be an issue. That and “High Capacity” mags. But I offered.

I have a hard time understanding why any of the cos who value their 2A rights wouldn't maintain a pistol permit as a backup. One is none, two is one, and all of that.

This has always been the policy. Once an officer leaves service any firearms registered under their badge would then be assigned using a NY permit.

I'm confused. CO's need more than 10 bullets to kill a deer?

my only issue with this is if the CO's bought the guns with their own money. If the state provided the firearms, fine, take'em back. But if they bought them, then go get a permit like the rest of us and keep whats yours.

They can sell them or transfer to a family member?

Get the gun off the badge and on to their or someone else’s pistol permit. If it’s only on their badge and they have to do a C-form maybe not so easy. I’m not surprised their assault weapons are being confiscated. I find this funny actually and not because they are getting their stuff taken but they were called special to have these privileged and now that they don’t kiss the ring they are being punished. This should all be a lesson to all of us and how horrible they are and will treat us.

While they have a badge (legal) they can turn them in to an FFL. FFL can make ARs Nys legal. Once their permit is complete, transfer the pistols to it.
We knew (and warned of it) that this was coming.

Can a NY dealer accept handguns from people without a NY pistol permit? I thought that was a no go. Many people move from another state and when they come to a dealer in NY, they have told me the dealer will not purchase them without a NY pistol permit so how can they submit them to a dealer?
I never put guns on a badge. Nope.... I told all that I worked with the get the permit and get them off the badge.
Those that did not, stupid. Period/.

My understanding is if it’s a legally owned gun they can be handed over to an FFL. However this might be a grey area because as far as I know their badges have been taken from them. They may need a C-form signed off on for pistols to transfer them but I’m not 100% sure. The C-form needs to be filled out by the department so that won’t happen in their cases. I could be wrong but this is my understanding from years past.
Some do not understand that this is actually a really big deal. Many departments will not allow their officers to have a pistol permit while on the job.
I heard NYC was like this, not sure if they changed policy.
Buffalo PD had this policy for the longest time.
Yep, lose your job, lose your guns until the process of permit is complete, which could be a year or more.
