Bowman has a place in Florida, I really wouldn't be that shocked if he said fuck it and moved everything to Florida.

We should sue rape victims for spreading venereal disease, too!
AI Overview
ATF gun shop camera requirements generally mandate video surveillance with specific considerations for recording quality, storage, and accessibility. Cameras should capture clear images of faces and features, and the recording system should be protected from tampering and theft. Digital recorders are recommended, with fresh tapes for VCRs. Additionally, signage indicating video surveillance can be a deterrent.
The Owner failed to secure the gunshop, 75% of the time, by his own admission.
I am afraid that this LIKELY was an inside job for real cash...................if anyone deserves to lose his license, it is he.
Cameras would have recorded customers faces...............the likely reason why they were off.
Sales have been slow.
If just loses his state license, he will be lucky................I suspect criminal charges will be filed for the intentional camera outages.....................conspiracy to aid and abet felonies, or something close.

Are banks banned from business too because they got robbed and those funds helped fuel drug consumption?
Owners of automobiles who got their car stolen and further used criminally be banned from owning vehicles!?
More insanity from NY chasing people away in droves!
Gonna be a ghost town soon for sure (State)...

First off, as a former FFL in this damn state, this article STINKS to F'in high heaven. The state is using tax payer dollars to sue a gun store. There is NO need to sue to close a store.
OK, I will try to be civil. first off, an investigation would have been done by the feds after each break in. I can almost gaurantee there is more to the story than this VERY BIASED so called news article presents. An outside door left unlocked, was it a storm door, was there a secondary steel door and so on????? Let me tell you the state does NOT have clear and concise guidelines as to meeting their standards from the very illegal laws passed in 2022. A window left open, hmmm, was it used in the break in, was in secured in any other way? I could go on. I do have first hand experiance in dealing with the state and feds.
A lawsuit, why???? A phone call from the AG's office to ATF would probably suffice. Let see, there is supposed to be a NYSP Inspector, (they don't have the manpower) why not cite violations, and close the shop. If the violations have been so awful. why wasn't it closed after the first break in? No, this is grandstanding and trying to grind a person into the dirt by a hypocrit (AG) in the enth degree.

but but but the jail Epstein was in .,. faulty cameras , missing video , all A-OK though ..
Security and locks only keep the honest out and since all this was mandated by the state they should be on the hook for paying for it ..
where is the security cameras for the corner ffl on St, Paul and Ave D ???

All I can say this guy is a moron and needs a better lawyer. He needs to learn to shut his mouth.
Also I’m wondering if this means he still leaves the doors and windows open.
James said despite the burglaries, Bowman still has not taken adequate steps to improve security at the store to prevent additional theft and trafficking.

Yeah, gotta believe EVERYTHING Letitia says don't ya? I really think the ATF has had a say in the matter. Mandatory visits and they too, have a say in security measures. I guess we can believe everything she has attested to, like her dad is her husband or was it her husband her dad?
I also think the "news" article took a lot of liberties and things out of context.

BATFE does NOT have Camera requirements, NYS does, but not the Feds.
One is not required to have a NYS Dealers Licenses, but it is strongly recommended, additionally the applicant has to first secure a FFL prior to applying for a NYs Dealer/Gunsmith Licenses.
The State will have a hard time prosecuting as a crime, (lack of guidance given to the Troopers assigned to inspect Dealers) so they'll try suing the FFL. and his Insurance Company.
Does not require cameras
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) does not require cameras for Federal Firearms Licensees (FFLs) to comply with their regulations. However, it is recommended to have hidden cameras and visible decoy cameras as part of a security strategy to ensure compliance and protect against illegal activities.

You can leave a Window open when there are BARS OVER THE OUTSIDE! really, how fucking hard is it to break a glass window? Alarms can be defeated/bypassed, as Caliber Plus stated the "open door" was a screen/storm door, and if you have one, be honest and tell us how difficult it would be to defeat.
Bowman's is a nice, very well stocked Shop and Gouverneur is a sleepy Town of 6500 people: this whole fucking article was a hit piece to blow the ego of that fat-fucking-criminal-bitch trying to save her ass from Prison by lawsuits.
We know what kind of corrupt people we have in State Government, and yet you still want to take their side based on a slanted story...intelligent, real fucking intelligent.
BTW: It's a Federal Crime to export firearms without Government approval, but criminals don't care where or how they get guns.

This is nothing more than a hit piece . I’ve been to this shop a few times over the years after purchasing a couple of older S&W hand guns that he had at the Syracuse gun show. This article makes it sound like his shop was a screen door shack. It’s far from it. Makes one wonder why there isn’t more emphasis by the state to vilify the Actual fucking criminals !
