I live in northwestern Dutchess county. For the last few years I've been a member of the Zena-Highwoods club near Woodstock. It was a great little gem with an adequate pistol range, very low cost, and no required work hours or other duties. I needed a place to shoot, and at about 20 minutes...

Small steps my friends, small steps... From the NYSRPA: David Yassky is a former staffer to Charles Schumer. He's the guy who actually wrote the Brady Bill. He moved up to the City Council where he continued to push for more gun control like strict gun dealer liability. Pat, Amy and...

Let's show this guy just how proud he can be - vote him down hard! Richard Aborn: An Anti-Endorsement I'm Thrilled to Have Our campaign for Manhattan DA has received many endorsements -- like Congressman Jerry Nadler, the Association of Legal Aid Attorneys, Former NYPD Commissioner Bill...

I've heard from a couple of different people in recent days, including a local LEO that I tend to trust, that the NYS ban on high capacity magazines was lifted last year. My LEO friend said that the ban still affects "assault weapons," but not handguns anymore. He indicated that while he used...

If you don't already know, Albany will be considering a slew of anti-gun legislation on Tuesday as part of their annual "Gun Control Day." Yes, I said TUESDAY. In response to the expected huge turnout of gun owners on Wednesday, when the bills were scheduled for consideration, they moved the...

Just heard from a buddy of mine who went to the sheriff's office to submit his permit application. They wouldn't even take it. They said they are so backed up they are not accepting any more applications until after June. Another friend in Ulster county said he went to get a new handgun added...

All, It appears that all of the maps previously posted in the thread "county by county status" are no longer accessible. I'm not sure if this is because of an upgrade to the site that lukem did recently or what, but when I went to attach it again to this thread, the upload failed every time...

I am looking at a possible move to Greene county. Does anyone know what their stance is? I'm worried if I transfer my residency to Greene and try to transfer my permit, it'll get issued as restricted. I have full carry now. If anyone could share their experience with Greene county, I would...

Fellow New Yorkers: Judge Patrick McGrath, Democtrat, sitting on the bench in Rensselaer County, is running for New York State Supreme Court Judge 3rd disctrict. This would be a term of FOURTEEN years in a very powerful seat. McGrath is running against incumbant Justice Anthony Carpinello...

Remember - keeping ballistic databases of citizens firearms is just "common sense gun laws." Detroit Police lab shut down after probe finds errors BY BEN SCHMITT AND JOE SWICKARD • FREE PRESS STAFF WRITERS • September 25, 2008 The Detroit Police crime lab is so riddled with...

Everyone, Back in what seems like eons ago, the now defunct Link Removed website had a great map of New York State, that showed all of the counties and whether they were restrictive, may-issue, or shall-issue. Does anyone know of a place where this map still exists? If not, I would like to...

Well now, I knew NY would say that the SC ruling didn't affect their "sensible" gun regulations, but I didn't expect a judge to say the ruling only applied to Washington DC. I didn't think they would go so far as to say the constitution doesn't apply to NY at all. I certainly didn't expect the...

We are entering exciting times for gun owners. I will watch many lawsuits with great interest following the Supreme Court decision. Supreme Court ruling may impact Syracuse gun law - NewsChannel 9 WSYR

Like Ruger Lady, I too am sick of NY passing gun law after gun law. Perhaps we are out numbered by the liberals in NYC, perhaps not. Either way, I haven't found much strength within NY for pressuring law makers to go in the other direction. Everyone I know, even those who carry, are either...

I'll be looking soon to try and pick a good first rifle to teach my 8 year old son about shooting. I'm a little torn between starting with a BB gun and a .22, but am leaning toward the .22. I don't want to be tempted to let him take it out on his own with close supervision. With a .22 I have...
