A rifle is not a firearm.
True, but I wasn't sure how it applied as far as the city went. I had assumed mere possession was a crime.
A rifle is not a firearm.
The problem is because most cops do so, they are in that position. Now imagine if all cops said, "no!" Every single one of them. Every single one of the new ones too. It'll never happen but nonetheless it could like I would hope it would if it ever got to Nazi Germany type infringements.
The easy answer is don’t put someone in a position to make that choice.
Those “tragic” examples happen all to often where the cop cuts a break to the person and it comes back to haunt him. Not all involving firearms.
The officers didn’t search the house for a gun. The wife put them in that spot . He put them in that spot.
Imagine if airborne got that “job “ and was canned for not taking the rifle. Who do you think they would replace him with. Probably someone who would search for those guns etc etc.
If the guy had renewed permit, he probably would still have the gun especially if Airborne has responded to the job. Many others would have taken the gun for safekeeping even with the permit.
Incorrect. Again.
I stopped trusting your inside information when you posted he has a chance to get his rifle back. You can fool others, you are not going to fool me.
“The victim stated that there was a hunting rifle in the house and the offenders license to have it has been expired for years. She further stated she would feel more comfortable if it was not in the house any longer.”
I don’t have to assume and lie. I can read the reports.
I’d post a picture of the narrative but we have perps who frequent this forum.
If you say so. You have a few cheerleaders here, but most people don't buy your stories.
The best part of this whole discussion is that you know so little of what you speak that you don’t even realize that any scenario besides the one that actually happened would have required a search warrant to find and remove the firearm.
By “DV household” you mean you dispatched for a “domestic.” As a cop you know that had there been any probable cause that any crime had been committed they would have had to make an arrest in a domestic violence incident. There was no arrest, hence there was no “domestic violence.” The only “crime” here was possessing a hunting rifle, which wasn’t used in the incident. You assume someone in the house voluntarily uttered the words “illegal guns.” Impossible that a cop asked if there were any weapons in the house and then did some fishing to check their status?I’m always going to be willing to remove a firearm from a DV household when the camera the cop hating public demanded we wear records someone in that household saying, “He has an illegal gun.” No one will ever convince me that makes me an “oathbreaker”.
Even if this were true, and I don’t believe it, why does the fact that my neighbors called the cops on me more than once mean they should confiscate my guns? That’s like red flag squared.Domestic Violence officers don’t come to the house for the initial call. This was a visit conducted because the home has documented incidents of domestic violence.
Do you have inside information? Edit: I see you quoted a police report that wasn’t in the media so you were using “inside information.” But it could have gone another way regardless. Makes no difference.She mentioned the gun, no cop initiated this. No cop is going to lose their job over two idiots who rat on each other and will likely stay together afterwards as well. They’re not wrong here, 100% regardless of what any of you say.
So a cop is cutting a break when they respond to a call, find no crime has occurred and they don’t make an arrest or seize property?Those “tragic” examples happen all to often where the cop cuts a break to the person and it comes back to haunt him. Not all involving firearms.

Also do you have any idea how many cops lose their job and livelihood to words of an unfaithful, lying whore? One who “feels unsafe?”
Also, classy with the “likely stay together” bit. Its great when cops and social workers get to decide that if a married couple has a shouting match, regardless of circumstances and who is at fault, they should get a divorce and split up the house and kids. You wonder why our society is fucked?
Cops just love it when you know your rights and don’t cooperate. They love it when “perps” don’t “rat” on each other and they don’t get to go off to officer.com to laugh about their latest collar. But don’t worry, they have inside information about their colleague’s report and they know it’s all good.BTW, I am not a perp and I am not a cop hater. Many of my friends are cops. When similar conversations come up, they are very honest about what's going on in the real world. I don't need to know your job better than you to raise BS flag.
First, if I thought YOU were a perp, I’d say that. There are perps who post here. I did not say you are one of them.
Secondly, if you think I being dishonest, tell me straight up so I can block you.
That’s a bold accusation and I’ve no interest in ever interacting with someone who thinks that of me. The quote I posted is directly from the home visit documentation filed in regards to this case. Period, 100%. If you think I am lying put that in writing so I can block you. In person I’d fight over such an accusation but we obviously cannot do that.
I don’t talk out of my ass here. When I am not stating an opinion, I make that clear. I am no longer stating opinions here as I have reviewed the paperwork. That’s a statement of fact.
I don’t need to see the report of what happened to know what happened.So a cop is cutting a break when they respond to a call, find no crime has occurred and they don’t make an arrest or seize property?
That’s not Bloomberg standards, that’s banana republic standards.
You have no idea what happened so you should probably stop talking. Here is a realistic scenario that plays out all the time.
Neighbor hears shouting (maybe just the wife spazzing out; shouting is not a crime), is annoyed, calls cops.
Cops show up to “investigate.” Husband and wife say it’s fine, go away. Cops now say (probably bluffing) that they need to start cooperating, if nothing happened they should talk, if they don’t cooperate then they will have to make an arrest; maybe arrest both of them. Cops either find the expired gun in the computer (“We know you have a gun, where is it? If you just tell me where it is there won’t have to be any trouble, otherwise,” clinks handcuffs) or uses pressure and interrogation to ask the wife about guns in the house.
Cops still don’t have any evidence of domestic violence OR ANY CRIME, but they now have a gun they can seize and ticket.
Even if the wife called the cops and said “my husband is mean and had an unregistered rifle,” guess what? HE still didn’t put the cops in that situation. SHE did and it is his gun that is seized and him who is charged for it.
With gun rights advocates like you guys, who needs enemies in New York? Y’all should be stoked about red flag laws.
I don’t need to see the report of what happened to know what happened.
The DIR( domestic incident report) has a question to ask the people about firearms in the house. Somebody answered “ yes”. A check in the computer for an expired rifle permit is not enough to search a house. Why? Because the NYC rifle owner can keep a rifle without a permit if he keeps the rifle out of the city limits. Many on Long Island store rifles for their city friends.
The wife told them about the gun.
In other words, you concede that she didn’t need to volunteer it, she was asked. She may well have had no intention of throwing her husband under the bus. She might not have known about the permit issue.I don’t need to see the report of what happened to know what happened.
The DIR( domestic incident report) has a question to ask the people about firearms in the house. Somebody answered “ yes” ...
The wife told them about the gun.
That’s iffy. If you keep it in a case (better yet, a locked case) and they hold it for you and don’t open it themselves then that shouldn’t be considered a transfer. NYSP might take a different view, but the ATF even gives guidance that you can ship guns to yourself with an out-of-state friend for them to keep for you for when you come over, as long as they don’t open and take personal possession of the contents, and that holding in bailment is not considered a transfer by the ATF. They say to address it to yourself care of the recipient to make that clear.I'm not trying to derail this post but keeping your long gun outside city limits with your friend is now a class A misdeameanor if you don't conduct a background check (thanks FUAC).
Only exceptions are parent/stepparent/child and spouse combinations.
I’m no longer interested in your opinion on extraneous matters or what further information you think may be missing. I’m asking you to state as a man exactly what you meant by your implication of dishonesty in a prior post.
