Maybe some, but that’s irrelevant. Most cops natiowide live where they work. Only major city PD’s have large numbers of municipal workers commuting from far away. I don’t know about other places, but even in high COL NYC, the majority of cops actually do live within city limits contrary to...

Hence the examples I gave. Only nuclear war, a major virus, or an alien invasion could collapse the US.

During the ‘03 blackout we were told to go to our resident precinct if we couldn’t get to our assigned command. I was drinking already because I was RDO that day. I avoided going in. Long, funny story. That day also led to me breaking up with the girl I lived with at the time and getting back...

Sandy as well. Parts of Staten Island are still bring rebuilt 7 years later. It was really bad in the beginning. Gas stations had lines for blocks on the RUMOR that they might have gas. Lower Manhattan had no power for two weeks. Not one Sandy-related violent crime was reported in the...

Keep in mind though that this is another example that proves my viewpoint. It would take a hell of a lot for a modern society to completely devolve into a situation where regular citizens are trying to kill each other for necessities on a mass scale. The first instinct of most people who...

My guy was drunk. I think his booze-affected thought process was something along the lines of "I don't have a gun! Just a knife!" but all he got out was, "I have a knife!"

The only person I ever ordered arrested for a knife (or arrested myself), was a guy in Manhattan who ran up on me while I was fighting his friend. I pointed my TASER at him and he screamed, "I have a knife!" It was so weird. At that point, he was going. His friend was one of the best fights...

Victim was a major perp. Screw him. At least no innocents got hurt. It's great to see blatant examples of what the cops predicted would happen though. Absent SQF, this is what these neighborhoods devolve into.

A spreading cancer.

What you posted actually is a reversal of the dismissing of CPW by the trial judge:

All of our rights are protected by the government. If the government fails, we are free to protect them ourselves. They are granted by no one.

I don’t see it the same. If you use a lawfully possessed weapon - gun or otherwise - in an unlawful manner, it makes perfect sense to me why charging for possession would be appropriate. By the way, I’m at a meeting and asked the Sgt next to me and he says for cops the charge ends up being...

I didn’t mean you. It I did, you’d be blocked like the others. I’m not posting privileged material for known perps to view. It’s bad enough they are here at all.

It just is, I’m not in the business of convincing you that your views are delusional. I’m also not going to post prosecuting complaints on a public forum to be viewed by a few of the cop haters known to post here.

Honest question: @Willjr75 , how far do you take this angle that there should never be a charge for the gun at all? If I got mad over one of our discussions, chased you down and shot you in front of your locker at the transit facility, do you really believe that my gun should only be vouchered...

That's not the case, sorry.

I’ve given narcan to the dead before lol

That’s not what’s happening here though. When some particular person is entitled to an exemption under the laws as written in NY, they enjoy that exemption only while conducting themselves lawfully. Unlawful acts negate the exemption.

No, it just proves that you’re not the legal scholar you think you are. Not trying to be a dick, but the explanation that fits your belief is not how the law works. Also, contrary to 7 years of parsing each and every word since the Safe Act was pass, not every specific legal pathway is spelled...

You don’t know what you’re reading and how it is applied in the real world, that’s about as best as I can say it. Furthermore, to bolster your belief you are intentionally ignoring what I keep saying: “...when used illegally.” The exemptions you keep pointing to are for lawful use. There’s...

Come on man, now you’re just patronizing me. I get it, I’m a cop not a lawyer. So anything I say is bunk to you. But you’re neither. You have zero VTL, CPL or Penal Law experience. So again... A previously legal weapon (ie, legal due to the exemptions you just posted), immediately becomes...

False. Anytime a crime is charge that was committed with a weapon, the weapon is charged as CPW. Come on man. Don’t argue it.

When the intent is to use a legal weapon illegally, you bet I’m ok with criminal possession of a weapon. The name of the crime is exactly what they are doing: possessing a weapon with criminal intent. People who study the penal law are taught exactly that regarding this section. A previously...

Clarification: he is in fact being charged Federally due to his status as a prohibited person. I take no issue with felons losing their right to own and bear firearms, especially violent, convicted robbers. As previously stated, the Constitution was never meant to secure the rights of those who...

What you describe is fantasy land and you're smart enough to know that (unlike some other boobs here). The situation you are arguing revolves around someone who left a party to retrieve a rifle with the express purpose of committing a mass-murder. He admitted this to the cops. His weapon of...

My workouts have been kicking my ass lately. Just finished a cardio, biceps/triceps supersetting and core session.

Maybe he was attempting to do what Will always alludes to as the only acceptable manner of policing thugs with guns: Hand it over to be vouchered for safekeeping before peaceably turning himself in to face his other charges.

At least you’re consistent. Thanks for the laugh. Count me as glad that these cops violated his rights to stop an admitted mass shooting.

Thank god he admitted what his plans were or else this thread would consist of 50 “jack boot thug” posts. Great work and everyone went home safe.

I have a Teton 75L, just got it. I replaced a no-name 55L that actually lasted 12 years!

Didn’t we basically have this thread already?

They are pretty expensive. I'm sure the PD's get a discount for buying in bulk. Just remember that there is a HUGE difference. Stun guns are purely pain compliance, which means that a hyped-up, violent aggressor will most likely be able to overcome the effects. Not to mention, you have to...

I highly recommend the tasers we carried down here until recently: The TASER X26 (remember, TASER is a company). It's about the size of a compact pistol and very effective (I know from experience of course). The new one (I can't recall the model #) is the size of a full-sized handgun. It is...

Where can I get high capacity ammunition? Seems we can get around limited magazine capacities using ammo that does it for us.

Good. Maybe now they understand that when someone is shooting at you for real, you really badly will want someone, anyone, shooting back at them, preferably you with your own gun.

Criminals are different, always have been in the eyes of the law. In the Founders day, they were sometimes killed outright within minutes of conviction by kangaroo courts (I’m actually fine with that too, mostly). Nowadays, the people who’ve lost their gun rights have been throughly afforded all...

What makes us different is that you view a lot of laws this way. Not every law is the slippery slope you see it as.

Theres nothing for me to not like, these laws are amenable to me. I agree with laws that remove rights from real criminals. If this kid died in jail 5 minutes after this photo was taken, I’d agree with that too. Gang members are bad, they need to be combatted. Laws exist to do just that. I...

The government has always and will always be able to limit the rights of criminals and no, that doesn't correlate to us.

The guy is an admitted gang member. There should be no question here why it's a big deal.

Haha fuck them.

Or just realize that if you can get it, you don’t have to register it. Take that as you will.

What’s the old saying? “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different outcome each time.”

See? This whole post was a waste of your time and YOU KNOW it. You knew it last year, 3 years ago, maybe 4-5 years ago even on the other forum.

Totally worth it. You have to do it long term. See now this thread to me doesn’t feel like missing out. I read the exasperated responses with glee because I know that will never be me again.

I built a wall. ;)

I sort of have an idea what is going on here. You guys are crazy for not just doing what I did.

My ancestors had to flee genocide at the hands of muslims to get here. I’ve no intention of supporting their buildup of forces within our borders.

Dammit. My best friend is a chef there. Missed opportunity!

The loophole is the fact that guns and ammo exist at all. Every currently legal action involving firearms is a "loophole" to lefties.
