Well a real martini is 3 shots of vodka and up to one shot of vermouth (to taste). About as manly a drink as mixed drinks can be.

Now we are talking. I just finished a classic martini. I like to make them at home occasionally. Had a bunch of Sam Adams and Brooklyn Lager this weekend for Sunmerslam and at Raw at Barclay (we went).

If no one takes the blame, everyone in the car goes.

They will probably let it go fearing it will make SCOTUS and destroy gun laws nationwide. Appeal it Cali, I dare you!!!

This has to be trolling, come on!

I just read that tree farms can get buck permits due to rubbing damage. I don’t know what kind of farm this is. Hopefully I will find out more tomorrow when I talk to my boss. He invited the DEC cop from down here to come with us.

Damn I was hoping for a velvet buck. :(

I've been invited to fill some nuisance permits in Orange County on Friday with my boss. I know nothing about this type of hunting. I know we have a few farmers here. Help! What implements can I use now? Can I shoot a velvet buck (my dream!)?

It’s just as easy to get a residence permit in the city as anywhere else, just no carry. BUT, that’s for people without past issues.

I found it and took the firing mechanism out.

Manhattan...

Economics? Scale? I don’t really know. Down here, between politics, money and sheer volume, I’m surprised we even have a system as efficient as the one we have. Another factor is the rules and laws surrounding the handling of evidence, chain of custody so to speak. Even though it is digital...

If you tell the truth about those issues, you will be denied 100%.

This happens everywhere nowadays because of how undermanned departments are. Also, the incomigg shift frequently gets caught up in the precinct with all of the ridiculous training BS that we have to do DAILY now due to various court orders and such. Plus, for us at least, the outgoing tour has...

Call the license division. I do believe though that you have to pick it up.

I know, but neither is called the special (early and late) season and what would be the difference anyway?

I’ve always been told “bow season”. I’m thinking “special” was a slip of the tongue or whatever you want to call it.

I carry my handgun during bow season. I have no problem admitting it. Even encountered a DEC agent once and discussed it with him. Granted, yes, I went straight to, “I’m a cop and I am supposed to be armed at all times when fit for duty.” He wasn’t happy at all, I thought I was going to end up...

Damn. Way too far though for me.

What other rules should cops break for convenience? Evidentiary procedures are very strict for multiple reasons, one (relevant here) being court proceedings. This rifle was recovered during an arrest, so is therefore evidence in a court proceeding. The cops CANNOT modify it, period.

The cops can modify a citizens property unless required for an investigation. They can’t “split” the upper and lower to play semantics games. A rifle is a rifle.

I had to argue with an ADA today over some gun issues. We removed a Mini 14 last night (among others), for a domestic assault case. Long story short, ADA was convinced that the Mini was good for a felony charge. I argued otherwise - lost to them temporarily, because you know, they are lawyers...

No. You must direct your action towards a specific person for it to be menacing. Unless a cop can articulate that fact, it isn’t menacing.

Menacing cannot be committed inadvertently. That’s a myth. Certainly someone can lie and say you threatened them, but someone’s random fear does not trigger NY’s menacing law. It’s not discretionary at all. One must intentionally put a person in fear of injury. “Intentionally” in legal terms is...

That's not true. The courts, prosecutors and cops will consider other regulations and rules. If DEC hunting regs were to specifically state that open carry is legal while afield, then that provision would be legal.

We have to yell, "Police! Don't move!" whenever reasonable and prudent. Granted, "reasonable and prudent" is pretty subjective, but nowadays, I'm not willing to bank on the subjectivity of those judging me afterwards matching up with my subjectivity during the incident.

Next time around, I am in! I understand how hard it must be losing such a great friend, but think of this creation as his legacy and honor.

I came very close to buying the .357 version @meketrefe created prior to this forum spinning up. He had someone “likely” to back out, so I called next but then the wait for the final answer dragged on so long I sort of forgot and ended up involved in a divorce that drained my finances for...

Secession is boring. Better they all really show us by committing mass suicide!!

He's the one with the ugly white rifle! :D

I just sold two rifles but with the ridiculous laws we have it's much easier for me to sell locally to cops. They went quick. Also, people pay higher prices here because they don't really know guns or the market well enough. ;)

Only non-veterans ask if you ever killed anyone. That’s very a very close to 100% reliable indicator of BS.

That is the reason for me: I carry a 26 daily and also have a 19. Are the Colt mags compatible with any handguns? I don’t recall. I’m torn selling the Camp 9, but I can get a lot of money for it and really won’t have any use for it. I’ve never been one to keep guns that are just taking up space.

Back on topic... I’m gathering the parts for a 9mm AR finally. It’s going to be a 10.5” side charger. I bought an FM upper from Primary Arms and a pistol LPK with adjustable brace from Palmetto. I’m just waiting on the lower. I bought this one in black: TAC-9 Stripped Receiver, Glock Mag...

You’re not going to make any friends or garner much info here if your M.O. is going to be insults and bravado.

My time there was decades ago... Anyway, good luck. If you’re interested in following the laws of you adopted state, many here can help.

We have a live one I see...

The NYPD couldn’t initiate an arrest for that violation section. It would have to be ordered by a district attorney (perp would turn themselves in most likely).

The laws governing financial markets and business influence and such are so complicated I don’t even want to attempt to offer an opinion there. I do know that there can possibly be civil penalties if the NRA can prove that Cuomo used his position to negatively influence transactions involving them.

Uh oh, they are my possible retirement employer. I have three friends well placed in the company and have been offerred an amazing job on their security team.

I hope you die Cuomo. Today would be awesome, but tomorrow will do.

I’m too toung to train you lol. You know I can retire in a little over 10 months?

No they keep it for themselves.

Of course it is. The general rule is that any evidence observed while a cop is in a place they are legally allowed to be in is admissible. The fact that the perp was the victim of a separate crime is irrelevant.

One extreme to the other. Investigators have a job to do. I’ve never been as pressured as I was while being question for a shooting I wasn’t even involved in. Oh wait, it’s always kids gloves. You’re clueless. Just an fyi.

“Cop should be fired. At the minimum,” sure sounds like a conclusion to me but I’ll take your word that I’m somehow misinterpreting it.

Best that they fully embrace socialism and be honest about it. They can't though because it's not a popular ideology here.

Your statement was pretty definitive, absent an investigation. What you just said above is much more reasonable.

I'm rarely in Manhattan anymore, thankfully.

I was considering buying the VR Resident Evil a little while ago. I've been meaning to check it out.
