That’s what Andy says and he’s the one who wrote the law. Bottom line is that I’m all about non-complaince. I’m going to tell it like it is though when someone claims non-compliant firearms are legal because that’s how uniformed people end up in trouble. “But, but, they said on the forum...”

Someone will learn the hard way on these types of “firearms” one day.

Yesterday I saw more deer than I have ever seen at this land. Today, nothing. I haven’t been skunked here in 3 years.

How did he manage that? Family ties?

I’m heading up tomorrow morning. I’ll be in my stand near Worcester way before light on monday morning!!

I’m heading up tomorrow. My uncle and cousin are there now. They saw a 6pt and 8pt while checking trail cameras. Saw them in the flesh I mean.

Why?!?!

Wonderful, I hunt near there in a different wildlife area. I wonder if they'll charge me with bowhunting with my handgun when I shoot him?

I've been saying something similar. Isn't #metoo about men in power? You're telling me that this guy was the devil incarnate of sexual predators through college, but then suddenly upon beginning a career which eventually afforded power beyond that which most humans will ever experience, he...

Democrats cannot stop his confirmation unless they convince a few Republicans to vote no. Reportedly, two Dems were considering yes votes. I posit that a positive FBI probe would convince them to join the 50 republicans making for a comfortable confirmation.

I’m ok with this. It allows the man to stand on his reputation again.

He did just signal that he may not vote yea on the floor...

yes!!!!!

Uh Oh

This delay of the vote is nerve wracking. I hope Flake isn't "flaking".

Oh fuck, he's back.

Disappointing. You couldn't make up a classic Robin name for this one?!?

LEOSA definitely doesn't. Out of state cops definitely cannot carry in NY while bowhunting. What makes it a gray area for NY cops is that we are supposed to be armed at all times while fit for duty, AND are compelled to address any felony witnessed anywhere in NYS while on or off duty. Neither...

This is by far the most Senate proceedings I've watched ever. By Tuesday, the gun control debate may finally be officially over. Time to push through some real cases!

Jeff Flake is going to vote Yea. Sort of surprising but a welcome turn of events!

You're right, but what are the odds of being searched for a pistol by a conservation officers? In 30+ years of hunting, I've only seen a warden or the DEC twice in the woods, and one of those times was in NJ. One other time they came on to my friend's private property because the idiot went...

I never go unarmed anywhere. I bowhunt a lot.

Any time someone uses an onbject as a weapon, resulting in a crime, CPW is also charged. It’s implied as the part of the crime. That’s what I meant, sorry I should’ve explained further.

Yes that’s the simple bow description given on the DEC website. That can’t be the entirety of it though. If it is, I’m very surprised NY (of all states) doesn’t get more specific.

The bows I’m looking at are definitely legal, but I’m looking at high let offs and I believe NY has a limit for let off. I just can’t find it anywhere. Also some states have banned the range finding sights, just as they’re becoming more popular. I won’t buy one for a few years because they are...

Does anyone know where I can find the specific descriptions of legal hunting implements? IE, broadhead descriptions, legal devices that can be on a bow, etc. The DEC website doesn’t really go into detail. I searched some links they provide and either am missing something or its not there...

This has nothing to do with the Safe Act (well sort of), so no, I didn't say that. The charges he got would have been similar prior to the Safe Act. The weapon he used would have been charged as CPW because it goes along with the menacing. The rest would have been seized at that point due to his...

That's a lot. Even in Airborne school where I had to do pullups just to get into the chow hall (...and was only 19 years old), my best was around 20. I think now I can get to 20 or slightly more but I don't see myself ever doing 30!

I think your point is that the menacing should be a higher charge. I agree. But at the same time, I don't see a problem with someone being charged with gun crimes when they've used one illegally against a victim.

I work out m-f and rest on weekends. I hit the gym on my lunch break at work, saves me a lot of time, hence the m-f routine.

"Member involved", that's how the NYSP label it? lol

I've been really focusing on pullups and chin ups lately. I spent a few weeks seeing how long it would take me to do 40 of each after doing 100 perfect form pushups for time. I've switched to sets now, 45 second rest between. I can usually do 12-14 on my first set. Today I did 10, 10, 8, 6. I...

Then hopefully they do what needs to be done.

Once they’ve crossed the threshold of my home with malicious intent, my decisions will not be geared towards scaring them off.

They weren’t on the range. One had a gun pointed at him and fell. Even if you practice that exact scenario, having a real gun pointed at you by an actual perp slightly changes things...

I hope he dies.

I’m sure he’s disturbed knowing he shot two cops. Most rational humans would be.

I'm not saying they should go back and kill him now, but "knowing what we know" is all after the fact information. I know that in the moment, I would've killed the guy rather than accept surrender. Actually, on second thought, "knowing what we know", the jury there would then believe the...

It was all I had at the time. Actually did impart a lot of flavor, but I am definitely getting real syrup next time.

I probably would, but I would have never guessed that self-defense would then apply for me in that situation. They should've killed him. And I do mean that. If I'm doing everything correct and by the law, and my partner is killed in front of me, I'm not going to be in an accepting surrender mood.

That's the choice one makes when they decide to engage in criminal behavior within their home.

That’s society’s responsibility to correct. The cops did the right thing by the laws duly passed by those who employ them. If the people don’t want the cops enforcing minor laws, don’t pass minor laws. Recall, no mistakes were made. I shouldn’t have to make a choice between my job or my death...

Someone other than the police? No. A legally obtained warrant resulting in the correct person being charged with the correct crime doesn’t sound to me like a situation where self-defense should apply. Regardless of whether they knew it was the police coming in, the police were on the right...

Yes

Yes. Last week we were talking about a case where the info was correct, the crime was a felony, a cop died and the guy got off on self-defense. I can’t agree with that one. The crime was trivial in the grand scheme of things, but that’s not the cops’ fault. As has been said here numerous...

FYI, the victim is the one who had the trash behind his house. Doesn’t change much, but the shirtless call of duty yahoos were apparently the ones dumping trash.

See now this I can understand the self-defense protection. Wrong house, shooter not a perp. Cops messed up. Warrants are dangerous for many reasons, that’s why you get it right or don’t go. But when it’s done right, claiming self-defense and winning doesn’t sit right with me. I did a consent...

This was clearly NOT self-defense. Bunch of fools all around.

He said nothing of the sort.

I won’t retire until I can leave the state for this very reason. It’s also why I only own a few handguns. I’ll buy more when I’m gone, I don’t need them now. All of my rifles and magazines will be out of NYC long before I retire.
