If you can be charged and taken to trial with 12 random community members screened for their ignorance left to decide whether or not the pistol + shoulder brace is illegal and you will go to prison, that tells me all I need to know about whether it's legal enough for me.
A jury decision on a...
Yeah, that is a big deal, though sadly it won't make any difference.
They endorsed turncoat Gillibrand who is a bigger piece of shit than Cuomo:
Editorial endorsement: Kirsten Gillibrand for U.S. Senate
Nothing to celebrate here. Kid had a sad life and ended it with suicide by cop. Traumatic for the cop and what's left of his surviving family. Plus more bad optics for gun owners.
We need fathers and strong families. That's what causes these sad incidents. Not guns.
Edit: The title on this...
I don't think it's normal for family court DV cases as the NY UCS-promulgated form doesn't restrict them:

I'd be sort of surprised if probation was more restrictive than a family offense protective order. That said this form...
Probation officers are peace officers under N.Y. law. They are a type of cop.
Are you prepared to additionally assume that he specifically agreed to possess magazines of no more than 10 rounds as part of his plea deal?
Also, this isn't parole. This is probation. If it was imposed after a trial...

Unless it's something else, his "unrelated" prior is a DWI.
He should take this to the US Supreme Court if need be to get this damn law overturned.
I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think the standard language in protective orders really does. Even ammunition isn’t specified although I expect it is routinely seized along with extra mags. Of course the judge could forbid you from collecting stamps or owning a parakeet under probation if he...
You go down that road and you’ll say it’s never a pure “SAFE act arrest” because there’s always something else going on that leads an officer to the guns.
We don’t know what his probation was for or its terms.
If he was allowed to have firearms then he was doing nothing wrong but for the SAFE...
Maybe you are the one who doesn’t understand probation. Misdemeanor probationers are only forbidden if it’s in the terms of their probation. And they would be charged with violation of probation (go back to jail) not criminal weapons possession. His charge appears to be specific to the magazine...
I also like guns, but if you keep or bear them for defensive purposes (as 2nd amendment “arms”) then understanding the rules of engagement is pretty damn fundamental. A hell of a lot more fundamental than dicking around about caliber and such.
So, I am not put off by these discussions. They are...
Then if you do get a chance to be a hero getting in someone else's business where you don't know the scenario, enjoy the prison. You can tell the other inmates you shouldn't be there. That should help pass the time.
Cops have limited immunity to get in other people's business and it's their...
Okay hero, here's an alternate timeline. You walk into a Starbucks in New York. Another man enters, runs up to the counter girl, starts hollering at her and punching her in the face. You draw, tell him to get on the ground or you'll shoot. He says "Fuck you, you ain't doing shit!" and continues...
I haven't in my life either.
However by law "ID" (which can be a bill) is required the first time you vote in the state if you didn't provide any when you registered to vote. I think providing a NYS driver license ID number on a mailed registration form is sufficient to be considered "ID"...
This "decision" was just an appeal of a stay. Kavanaugh didn't participate because the appeal reached SCOTUS before he was sworn in.
It hasn't reached the Supreme Court on the merits. If it ever did, then Kavanaugh would presumably hear argument and sign an opinion.
For what it's worth I think...
