You guys think government surveillance is something new? 30 some years ago a friend of mine talked me into FOILing the FBI to see if they had a file on me. I had never been arrested, did not serve in the military and while I traveled around the country a lot, I think I had led a pretty mild...

Life sometimes throws curveballs at people. I had to drain my 401K to pay for a lawyer, private investigator and forensic psychologist when I went for custody of my son. It damn near drove me into bankruptcy but I would do it all over again. I won, and it was worth every penny. So now I am...

47 years old, he just threw away his reputation, career and retirement. What a dumbass.

After the Democrats win the election, and I fear they will, I wonder what the "adjusted" real rate of inflation will be.

In the early 90's a friend of mine moved back to NY from Oklahoma. He had a Colt Python and a Belgian Browning Hi-Power that we considered putting on my pistol permit while he applied for his. For whatever reason he decided to turn the handguns in to be held by the State Police. He got paperwork...

True, no one forces them to stay. But here in Sullivan County a CO can make well over $100,000 a year with overtime. Not many high school graduates without nothing but that HS diploma will ever make that kind of money.

A sergeant at Woodbourne Correctional Facility, which is next to Sullivan CF told me Woodbourne will most likely be closed in the next year, too. He has 14 months to retire and can't wait. He has been out on sick leave for the past 2 weeks after getting his ass kicked by 2 inmates. He is facing...

Under Islamic fundamentalism if a woman is raped and cannot provide 4 witnesses saying she was, she would be executed.

Agreed. Anyone who thinks Harris is a fool should check out some of the YouTube videos before she became VP. She is a much more polished public speaker than Trump and will make him look like an idiot in a debate, and Trump will help her. Remember, half the voters of this country despise Trump...

I have handled a couple of the new Pythons and they are but a pale shadow in comparison to my Python I bought in 1978. The 686 is a far more robust revolver that will outlast the new Pythons and, sadly, mine, too. Old Pythons are beautiful works of art. They just don't hold up as well as the L...

Hochul's Concealed Carry Improvement Act is working just as she planned.

There are shootings in the Newburgh every day. I guess they only make the news when someone is hit.

Not at all. A good friend took her dream vacation to Ireland last February. When she got to the hotel staff told her she should not go out, alone, day or night, as it was not safe for a lone woman to be out on the street. That was Dublin. Muslim men are patrolling the streets, accosting...

All one need do is Google Palestinian children with Ak's. There are lots of pictures of them.

Living in Delaware County, all I have to do for an amendment is send a check to the pistol clerk for as many purchase coupons as I want, at $3 for each coupon, take the coupon to the gun store where I have found a pistol, pass the NYST check, pay for the gun, bring the gun home and I have 10...

I have seen police officers and retired military be denied when they went to purchase ammunition. Just last week a good friend of mine, 22 years in the US Army, bought a rifle, and had no problem passing the NICS check and then get denied when he went to purchase ammunition. It's bullshit, but...

No, it isn't. I am not going to name the store as I have a good friend who works there PT.

My LGS manager insists it is now a felony to go out of NYS to buy ammunition. Does anyone know if this is true? I purchased a new pistol yesterday and had no trouble getting the NICS check ok'd. When he called for the ammunition I was denied. Absurd, isn't it? When I said I will just go to...

The article doesn't say if the woman was carrying or not. She could have had them in a case in the trunk of the car, for all we know. As I understand it, just that she had them on school property is all the cops needed to arrest her.

How about Fast Attack Reaction Team?

I mistakenly forgot to add "refused" in this line "Can you provide any examples of our military to fire on civilians?" I agree with you 100%. Our military has never refused to fire on civilians. From strike breaking to The Bonus March, where 2 American heroes, MacArthur and Patton attacked...

Comic relief?

"all of our troops in all the arms of our military, have to unite w/ all the police forces in the country." Can you provide any examples of our military to fire on civilians? Can you provide any examples of our police refusing to enforce laws unless ordered not to by their leaders...

I used to date a woman from Poland who graduated from high school when Poland was still a member of the Warsaw Pact. One of the requirements to graduate high school was to be able to field strip and reassemble an AK47. 20 years later she could still do it.

I have ordered ammunition for Target Sports and had it sent to my son in Pa. No problems at all doing so.

Yeah, that would really have helped me get custody of my son. He and the ex are out of the picture now and that's all that matters.

My ex-wife converted to Islam, married some asshat from Morocco and became an American hating fundamentalist. While it certainly helped me get full custody of my son, her husband has told my son several times that he needs to convert to Islam as one day everyone in the US will have to and it...

But most of them will still vote for him rather than any Republican running. Not just Trump, but any other Republican.

Thruway Sports in Walden had a very good selection of inline accessories the last time I was there.

Black powder or inline?

I don't trust any politician. If they told the truth none of them would ever be elected.

The cool thing about buying ammunition in New Hampshire is the state owns the liquor stores and there is no tax on liquor. A bottle Balvenie 12 year old single malt Scotch is $90 here in NYS, $65 in New Hampshire.

Check your private messages.

Good point. Can the original owner be held responsible for a law that did not exist at the time of the theft? Of course, it is New York State, so anything is possible.

Where do you live?

In the early 90's a friend of mine moved here from Oklahoma. He owned a Colt Python and Browning Hi-Power. He turned them into the local state police to hold while he applied for his permit. 14 months later, permit in hand he went to collect his pistols. No pistols, no record of them ever being...

If the Liberty Police Department has the gun, they may. If the NYS Police has it, they will destroy it. The gun was stolen back in 2012 so the legitimate owner may not even be around here any longer.

Liberty is going to have to work harder to keep up. We have had only 1 guy shot so far this year, though there have been several drive by shootings where no one was hit. We did, though, have 6 stabbings, 3 gang assaults and 1 rape in an alley off of main street. Not bad for a town of only 10,000.

I tend bar for a living and deal with hundreds of people each week. As much as I try to steer conversations away from politics, it almost always becomes a topic of conversation. Not just Democrats but a great many Republicans, especially Republican women, are basing their votes almost...

I had a guy tell me yesterday that the attack by Hamas on Israel was done because the Suez Canal is useless. The sole reason for the attack was so another canal would be built. How do people think up this crap?

I work late nights, tending bar. I get stopped quite often on my way home and almost every time I am stopped the trooper asks if I have a handgun or any other weapons on me, or if I have any weapons in my truck.

The same thing happened in the town I live in a couple years ago. 2 guys were hiking through a field. A guy came out of the house next to the field with an AR15 and threatened to shoot them for trespassing on his property. It wasn't his, though, and they called the cops. One of the guys even had...

It is, as long as NYS gets it's cut through licensing fees and taxes.

I live close to the PA state line, and my son lives near Wilkes-Barre. So yes, I will be buying my ammunition in PA, or preferring it for gifts for my birthday, Christmas, and Father's Day!

My ex-wife converted to Islam and married a guy from the Middle East. He told my son when he was around 9 that he should convert to Islam, too, because someday everyone in the US will have to and it would look better for him to do so now, willingly, rather than wait till he had to. For what it's...

On any given night, at the last bar I tended at about 50% of my customers were carrying unlicensed handguns. On Ghetto Trash Night that percentage hovered around 99.9%.

I knew the guy that was murdered. He was a really great guy. I have no idea what was behind the murder but the local community is reeling from the news. The world is a much poorer place today.

Good. If the guy is a felon there is a process by which he can get his right to own firearms back. A friend of mine did 5 years for dealing drugs. He got out, played by the rules and petitioned the court and now owns firearms.
