Handgun falls out of man's pocket while he's on ride at Boonville-Oneida County Fair

[Uzi]

He did the right thing, but he wasn't as careful as he should have been. This is a good reminder, You absolutely need to exercise caution, because the order following police believe you're the problem in NYS, just like Kathy Whorecul who they serve and protect as priority # 1.

"The sheriff's office noted Ouderkirk has a valid New York State Pistol Permit." Well he did at that time!

 

[Bustedknees]

Carrying a pistol would be so much easier and safer if law didn't require that we must conceal it,, or go to jail for that too.
It is 100% NYS fault this happened.

No jury, will ever rule on the validity or intent of the 2nd Amendment and its state restrictions, especially in NYS.

A friend once dropped his PPK and it fired, despite hammer drop safety, and safety.

He got past that one despite bullet hitting his finger, but failed, in a computer store when he brandished it at a hated computer screen.

Oneida Co Judge said............THAT'S FUCKING IT.

 

[RomanRider]

I know the guy, I used to work with him. He's a good guy, with a young family. Stupid mistake to not maintain control & possession of his gun. I wouldn't want to be in his shoes right now.

Is the Fair really a SENSATIVE area?? I mean really??........damn shame...........

 

[Saltwater60]

Case will likely not go further than the PP office.............it will suspend, and local JP will say "case closed". No Jury will ever rule on the 2nd Amendment. Sensitive Areas case was ruled on already.

It was ruled on and upheld. Remember this isn’t just about private property and I’ll bet alcohol was served here and it’s a gathering where streets were closed off. This has not been overturned by the CCIA. They even made it a point to showcase in the article that a no guns sign was posted.

Holy shit, am I on a gun-grabber forum? Have we learned nothing? Opening the door to gun control is akin to opening the floodgates.

You guys aren't wrong, per se: some people are too stupid to have guns. But, give the government the right to make that distinction and pretty soon, everyone will be too stupid to have guns. That's how this game works, that's how it has always worked. Ensuring the freedom of the people means we need to accept that some subset of the people will have freedoms we might prefer they do not.

There are a lot of people too stupid to be allowed to vote, or speak freely, yet I will defend to death their right to do so. The same applies to all of our freedoms.

The slippery slope argument is only a fallacy if you're not already halfway down the slope. As it stands today, we have to ask permission to exercise our rights, wait some indeterminate period measured in months or years, then face potential felony charges for exercising that right in certain locations. That right can be stripped from us without due process from even the most baseless of accusations. This is what happens when we decide to allow the exclusion of certain groups from free exercise of their rights. There's a reason it says "shall not be infringed"... our forefathers saw this game being played over 200 years ago.

Aye.

Would a news story like this surprise anyone if Kamala was President?

"Hello, 911. My neighbor .... I'm worried about him. I've seen him, occasionally, on his knees in his backyard, palms together, muttering. And there is no one there ! Even worse, I've heard the words "Jesus" and "God". Science has proven these are imaginary beings. And anyone that talks with things that aren't there and don't exist is obviously someone that cannot be trusted with a firearm. Please send an officer over."

At least, last time I looked, CC in a bar in Massachusetts is allowed.

It's illegal in NY ?

 

[CaseHardened]

Some people might say that it's crazy to carry unless you're visiting a dangerous area. And since you should avoid that, you really don't need a gun at all.

I reply that the most dangerous area in America is twenty feet from me: THE ROAD.

Driving is not only a dangerous activity, it transforms many otherwise normal people into true maniacs.

If I ever have to unholster my gun (and I pray I never do), it's going to be during a Road Rage incident.

I may end up in Prison, but my family would be ok.

 

[Bustedknees]

Boonville is a nice little North Country Village. But sadly it's in Oneida County, where the sheriff is a Democrat.

Anywhere that serves alcohol is a no go for guns in NYS. It’s a felony too.

 

[Robin]

Everything in shithole USA is a felony.

The funny thing is, in 35 years of tending bar I have experienced just 1 shooting. A very drunk, obnoxious off duty NYC detective shot the jukebox because he didn't like the country music being played. And that got covered up.

That's the real problem. They'll all talk about how they're protecting society from the bad guys, right up until the bad guys are in their gang, then it's protecting the bad guys from society.

Anyone else would have been face down on the floor with a knee on their neck. But that guy they sit around conspiring to cover it up.

Every one of them should have gone to prison for the conspiracy.
