Let me be clear. The victim was doing nothing wrong, illegal, or frivolous. I can only use my observation of the provided video to see the length of his cell phone use (which appears to be the entire time).
The yellow line on the platform is placed to keep you from being struck by the train...
From the video, The victim was standing close to the edge and absorbed in looking at his phone. Not blaming him. Good lesson for situational awareness. For any members who have to use the subway, PLEASE stand back from the tracks! Try to be aware of your surroundings and those around you...
@ RooftopKorean
Thank you for your input! I don't expect anyone to know how these stupid laws are arrived at. Questions are half way rhetorical as anyone with half a brain can see that such laws are discriminatory under equal protection statutes elevating NYC residents above the rest of the...
So you are saying that you can carry everywhere on your New York STATE permit because it was issued by NYPD in NYC but permits issued upstate by a judge isn't recognized in the city? This is almost the inverse of what used to be where NYC permits only counted there and upstate permits were good...
Where do we stand in the current legal wrangle with our carry rights.
I will start by saying I keep a pretty close eye on 2A rights both here in NY and throughout the nation. I am lost at this point as to where we are in the post Bruen clusterfuck of lawsuits, rulings, injunctions, etc. Any...
Nah, I'm sure the founders sat around in Boston saying sure we want our own country, but can't bear with losing all the armed troops being quartered in our houses
Just popped into my head. If you can find one with an aftermarket stock, busted up stock, or, half assed bubba project gun, you might be able to get one around one $500 or less. All you really want is the barreled a action, you plan to throw the shitty stock away anyway. I usually come...
I notice that only one was arrested on gun charges. Normally they charge all vehicle occupants when they find firearms during a stop. 5 occupants in possession of firearms for only 1 gun and that sort of thing.
@RooftopKorean How is it with the mag conversion? I have heard that there can be some reliability issues with that. Does it keep the last round bolt hold open from working? All of my SKS' are stock as Sergei Simonov intended! :p
@libertysnake You should be able to run the bayonet as the...
Can't go wrong with an SKS. As long as you can inspect it in person, some came in as surplus in pretty rough shape but I bet they can be made to run without a lot of effort. I haven't seen one for under $500 in a while, mostly around the $700 mark. I wouldn't pay that much for one if I lived...
When I read about this plan it had me shaking my head. The study on what to do about the Staten Island population was quite expensive and the program cost was astronomical. I still tell people about it to show the idiocy of government. For the cost of a few cases of .308 and some cheap...
This from the guy who threatened Supreme Court Justices and told Trump to get in line or the intelligence community would get him? Fuck this guy! Useless fuck can't even grill a burger!
Curious. If the majority is really slim (1 or 2 seats) what would happen if Trump taps some of the reps for cabinet positions?
Stefanik is being offered UN position. How is she replaced? Hochul gets to appoint a replacement temporarily I believe and then a special election? How well can a new...
Agreed on the personal enmity that he bears toward her. On the other hand he was all in for running for a second term and was forced out, most definitely against his will. I can speculate that whatever leverage was used against him still exists. Also the dementia man is extremely egotistical...
I agree that this has low likelihood of happening. However it was her former comms director on CNN making the statement. It was more of a scenario gaming statement than bonified fact. However these people float these ideas to "poll" if the idea can or will gain some steam.
Just caught some news casts that have some people calling for Biden to resign so Heels Up can be the first female POTUS. Makes sense. She has had everything else handed to her so why not?
Please don't be fooled by these county by county maps. While I will agree that urban centers are generally deep blue and the rural areas tend toward the red, there is a sliding scale of purple from blue to red areas. Even living rurally I have noticed some Harris/Walz signs in my AO. Not a...
Why do these companies insist on building on wetlands and recreational lands when the Syracuse area has so many vacant industrial lands available? Think of all the industries that are no longer operating and convince me that the properties are unsuitable for building a new factory. Carrier, GM...
As I am new to the whole CCW world, can someone explain amendment time to me. Is it when you want to add a pistol to your license? Are counties vastly different in how this is handled. When I got my permit I went and bought a couple of pistols shortly after receiving it. In Oswego County I...
Well, at least the their consistency at lying gives us a metric to operate by. When the government tells us something, we can pretty much do the opposite of what they tell us and be taking the correct action.
I can dig that. I do much of my shooting at my club in the mid-morning on weekdays. It's nice to have the range all to myself. Winter is great, nobody out there in February at 10 am on a Tuesday. I'm trying to buy the land next to me (which is a big gravel pit) for my own personal range...
The difference is that you haven't been trying to dis-arm the citizenry for decades. I wouldn't deign to assume your stance on the 2A but I'm fairly sure that you come pretty close to being a 2A absolutist including the infringing 4473.
Prep hard y'all. Prep like the zombie apocalypse is inbound. Most will never attain the level of preparedness we hope to achieve. If you get prepped for the apocalypse, lesser events will be just a speed bump to ya. As PJF says do the best you can, where you're at, with what you got. If...
Is it just me, or has Biden become a ghost since Kameltoe replaced him on the ticket? I haven't seen hardly any news with him featured doing his job. He is still ostensibly the POTUS. The few news clips with him in them Kameltoe is the one speaking while he plays a background role. Also see...
Belt Sander. (kind of like the nuke them from orbit!). Does look like some paint pickup from the pix. All good advice from everyone except my first comment!
The democratic republic is in practice and possibly in theory an incredibly flawed and poor systems to be devised. Yet it, along with a free market economy, remains one of the best systems to ever be implemented.
