when you think about it, the 500' rule is not too safe when it comes to discharging a firearm in the wrong direction, but it seems to have worked so far.

Explains why some municipalities are getting squad cars replaced with armored vehicles.
the way the economy is, most can't even afford to replace regular squad cars on yearly basis.

and ask anyone who has hunted bear or any other animal for that matter with hounds and they'll tell you how easy it is.............only problem is you need access to a lot of land to do it effectively.

Do they realize the amount of manpower it would take to try and figure out who owns guns that need to be registered? to try and track down guns that were bought years ago (other than handguns) that aren't even owned by the original buyer is laughable, I don't know what the record keeping is like in CT, but in NY after the gun is sold from the shop to the original buyer there is no way to know who currently has it if it was sold privately......it's almost mind boggling for them to think they can do this effectively.

I am not a fain of baiting deer but support the baited hunting of bear. They are two different animals and two different means to hunting in my opinion. I think a spring season would be pretty fun.
I too would think spring bear hunting would be a great addition, I'm all for it.

I doubt that the average gun owner will get into a shoot out with police, but if I were the first one through the door, trying to enforce this non law passed down by a little dictator, there would be a definite "pucker effect "
I can't imagine any Judge issuing a search warrant that may be based only on information that a gun was purchased by someone 5 years ago and nothing else.........could you imagine the lawsuits that would follow after a few search warrants were executed and the intended target says "oh that gun? I sold it 3 years ago."

Feel sorry for the LEO's how would you like to be the first one through a door on one of these raids?
do you anticipate the average gun owner who didn't want to register his gun, or forgot to, or maybe wasn't aware, to really take it to that level and engage the Police in a shootout?

using hounds to track bear in NY is not a free for all, it has regulations and it requires licensing.

oh, and I would love to hunt bear with hounds and would also hunt them over bait if it were to ever become legal.

just like anything else, the vast majority of New Yorkers won't even be fazed by what he said.......

I have no personal experience with this guy, but he was recommended to me at one point. Good gunsmiths are hard to find.

Scary really. I'll be the first to admit that as sportsman we don't help ourselves by arguing within over issues like ARs, crossbows and setback rules. However, I believe that these arguments simply demonstrate our passion and do not necessarily endanger our sport.
But when we're more divided then I think a lot of us thought over constitutional rights... that's scary. We knew there was opposition as there always has been with gun control legislation, but to discover many gun owners themselves are ok with it? man...
yeah, I know a lot of gun owners, and to be quite honest I really haven't heard too many of them getting too worked up over the Safe Act, and if they do mention anything about it, it's just to complain about the inability to order ammo through the mail.....
-
Doc, you seem to be missing the point. Diminishing set backs under state law does leave it in the hands of the locals to set it where ever they want - which is what you contend should happen. In fact, if the state law was reduced to 0, the locals would have complete autonomy. You seem to be against reducing the set back under state law, but want more local control. That IS inconsistent if you understand that the locals can be more, but not less, restrictive as they choose. No more comments from me on this subject.
maybe if one more person explains how it works the point will get across......
-
but, Safe Act aside, is he any worse or any better than any other Governor we have had..............what I'm trying to get at, is has he done more or less good for the average joe to get reelected?.....I'm gonna say he will get reelected by a landslide.
-
I can say this about Ruger, I messed up my LCP royally, total screw up on my part.....they replaced everything other than the frame free of charge, even payed for return shipping. As far as I'm concerned they are a 1st class operation....and the turn around time was less than a week.

I was afraid to open this thread...very misleading.

Don't worry, JB...
At my age my "small nub of a hammer" wouldn't impress anyone....
hey, at least you're not hammerless yet.
-
I like the option of being able to use the handgun single action if I want, for the reasons Culver mentioned..
Smith makes ( or DID make at one time) a model that is hammerless but has a small nub of a hammer that would not hang up , but you could still cock the revolver for a single action shot. I can't recall the model without doing some searching..
If I did not intend to CC the gun, I'd definitely go with an exposed hammer.
just be careful who you expose your hammer to........

He is a typical politician, but he is very good at it. His people are way better than most, and he seems to be a step ahead most of the time. The sad part is his step is always going to the left. He is dangerous and honestly can not be trusted.
truer words have never been spoken........well maybe, but you're in the running.
-
you said it's not for concealed carry, so I would got for one with a hammer.......if it was for concealed carry, I would always go for one that you could pull out as fast as possible and that would be hammerless.
-
what would your thoughts be on Andrew Cuomo and what he has done or hasn't done for New York?
-
DOC,
The state already forces it down the throats of the locals with minimum 500ft. So based on your logic - whether you prefer 500ft or 150ft - the new law would give more options to the locals.
Example - Ithaca (don't recall if its town or village) has a 1000ft minimum. It was increased. The locals can't suspersede state law by decreasing it, only adding to it.
Bingo!

Some species aren't worth waiting to draw....take Moose for example, you could apply to Maine for years and never get drawn and if you do, it wouldn't be much less than a hunt in Newfoundland that you could take whenever you want with greater odds of getting one...

This national ranking is not about NSA phone tapping. It is about freedom of speech.
well, they mention Snowden, a government employee that was privy to certain information that was not to be made public.....absolutely not freedom of speech or press, that's why he's hiding out in a foreign country.
-
I'm pretty sure a local municipality doesn't have the ability to lessen a state law, if NY's law is 500' feet that's what it is.......by the state moving it to less than that, the local municipalities still have the authority to keep it a greater distance or tweak it as they see fit.........much like if the state maximum speed limit is 55, a local town can't increase it, but they do have the authority to lessen it.

why is it ok for people to hunt rabbits with a dog but not bear.....same concept, different animal, no?
