    Man allegedly arrested for defending his land in NY

    Correct, but if the court accepts that it's legal to impose them, then it's not inconceivable to me that once imposed, the court would consider violating them as violating NYPL 400. Here is an excerpt from Monroe County's take on the issue of restrictions: "It is your responsibility as a...

    How Much Is The Transfer Fee For Pistols?

    Around southern Westchester, it seems like $50-75 is typical for handguns, $25 for rifles.

    Man allegedly arrested for defending his land in NY

    Now, I don't think that it settles the matter of whether you can successfully be charged for violating PL400 for carrying beyond your restrictions. I think it would certainly be brought into court as evidence that the restrictions implicitly carry weight of law despite not being explicitly...

    Man allegedly arrested for defending his land in NY

    I'm with you in the mentality that the statute says what it says and that's it. Unfortunately, after looking at a case Chevusa cited in an earlier post, the memorandum makes it clear that NY courts just don't care about the letter of the law when they can reach abstract justifications by doing...

    Did you post the cases in this thread? I'd like to read them and I'll go looking if you posted them somewhere.

    Man allegedly arrested for defending his land in NY

    Sure, that's 100% true. The law, does not require you to notify anyone if the reasons for which they originally issued the license have changed. As for now, I believe based on my interpretation that the restrictions don't carry the force of law and you can't be charged under NYPL400 for...

    Man allegedly arrested for defending his land in NY

    Haha, "penises license", hah. But yea, the point here is that statutes are the word of law. From NYPL 400.2 "A license for a pistol or revolver, other than an assault weapon or a disguised gun, shall be issued to... (f) have and carry concealed, without regard to employment or place...

    Just to make sure... pistol permit for revolver ?

    You know, unless you're out committing actual violent felonies, then you get let out with an "attaboy" and a pat on the shoulder.

    Westchester pistol permit

    I'm in Westchester and I used one reference from another county in my application. I didn't use anyone from out of state. When you submit your paperwork, they'll definitely let you know if there's a mistake. The only issue is that if it's any more than a tiny mistake, you risk them saying "no...

    Converting Pistol to Firearm/Other

    I agree with Suffolk. Based on no more evidence than gut feeling, my guess is that if you register a firearm on your permit as a pistol, then convert it to an other firearm then got into some legal trouble with it as an other firearm, a prosecutor would probably argue the hell out of the idea...

    Looking for a good soft shooting 9mm

    I like the Glock 48. A couple of friends of mine had never shot a gun before and wanted to try handguns, so I took them to a range out of state and rented the G48. A longer barrel is slightly less loud and the longer sight radius will help a beginner achieve better accuracy and build confidence...

    Where to Buy Powder and Primers

    Davis Sport Shop in Sloatsburg (30-50 min away depending on where you are in Westchester) is where I buy powder and primers. They've had all the smokeless powders I've wanted to try. No black powder though, if you're into the smokey stuff.

    Two stabbed, shots fire in Newburgh

    I mean, it's Newburgh so if anything, I'm more surprised that shots fired and two stabbings even made the news. But 200 people fighting... Guess they need something to break up the boredom in that craphole.

    you could also try grabagun, but it's probably a long shot that they'd have something NY compliant right off the shelf.

    Westchester County Amendments?

    Btw, from a previous post of yours the forum lists below for me as a "similar thread", you said you were considering adding a 5th pistol to your permit and were wondering about the home inspection. Is this your 5th and did they ask to do the home inspection?

    See all sights? Any experience or opinions

    Interesting about the astigmatism. I have it too, and red dots do look kind of like starbursts to me, but wearing my glasses corrects the issue for me. Do glasses not fix it for you guys or do you not wear glasses? Also prism red dots don't give you the starburst effect if you have astigmatism...

    Stippling Poly 80 frame

    I've also heard wood burning kits work well. I used a regular soldering iron (not adjustable for heat settings) on a stock Glock grip. I was happy with the final result, but there was a learning curve to it. I had only 1 tip profile and heat settings. To control heat, I had to control how long...

    Political Picture thread. (humor/memes/etc)

    so lets talk about riots, and tactics

    Yea, I am sorry I got the topic so fixated on the letter of Article 35 instead of the more interesting conversation on tactics. I don't think I'm an expert and I'm definitely not giving legal advice or qualified in any way to do so. I got caught up wading through a law that is definitely...

    so lets talk about riots, and tactics

    Technically and academically, (which is what courts care about) the sentence says clear as day that a person may use deadly physical force to prevent arson. Not "arson against a building", or "arson against a home", or "arson against a building they own", or "arson, but only if you think the...

    82nd Airborne Division Arrives to DC Metro Area with Black Hawks and Chinooks

    As much as the Devil Dog on my shoulder is saying "lay the hurt down hard" the fact is, that's just a base nature, animal reaction. That's the side that enjoys a good fight and the shutting off the higher thinking that goes along with it. No military action against civilians on U.S. soil...

    so lets talk about riots, and tactics

    I went back to read Article 35 and it seems like 35.20.1 clearly states that you may use deadly physical force to prevent an arson to a premesis, seemingly irrespective of who owns it. Later, 35.20.2 outlines what kind of force you can use against someone causing damage to, or trespassing, on a...

    so lets talk about riots, and tactics

    It does seem like it applies to others' dwellings as well since it doesn't specifically say arson committed on your property. Which makes sense. Any reasonable person can assume they're saving a life by shooting someone with a molotov cocktail aimed at a residential home.

    Carbine length gas system

    The theory with AR gas systems is that you want just enough gas in the system to reliably cycle the action 100% of the time and no more. More gas = more stress on the BCG and buffer system, and more dirty gasses going into the action, increasing your fouling. This will affect reliability if you...

    I think war with china is inevitable

    We're already at war with China. It's a war so cold that most people don't even see it.

    Legality On Faux/Fake/Mock Suppressors

    Just a response to Devil Dog Corporal's frustration. He's bangin his head against the wall that we NYers are out making our rifles less tactically sound because of our state's laws.

    I bought a really inexpensive upper in .300 Blackout that had a fake suppressor on it. I got it removed and replaced it with a permanently attached device that looks like a standard A2 flash hider, but with no holes, making it just a barrel extension. Nothing against anyone who likes them, but I...

    Gov. Andrew Cuomo is a hypocrite on life, death and nursing homes

    It’s about time the media attacks Cuomo. He sent 4,300 Covid + to nursing homes.

    Who's more responsible, Cuomo or De Blasio? De Blasio is the bigger shithead for my money, but at least the media has the decency to rag on him from time to time. Cuomo, on the other hand, is a media darling and gets a complete pass from his leftist propaganda allies. To paraphrase the...

    Anyone put one on a revolver? I'm leaning towards a 4-5" Ruger GP100 or an L-frame S&W for my next purchase and wonder if anyone has experiences mounting a red dot to something similar to those. I love red dots on a handgun and I'd love to put one on a revolver. I see a few options available for...

    What's your EDC knife?

    My EDC is this one right here. I was given it by my job and use it every day at work. It's nothing special, but it's a solid cheap knife that can take a beating. It loses its edge pretty quick under heavy use, but a couple of quick passes on a metal surface or the floor gets it back into shape...
