I have a NY question. I just read http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/21/ny...l?ref=nyregion

The gist is Cuomo wants a change such that you can have 10 round mag but only load 7. Ridiculous is it not but it seems designed to avoid making the 7 round mag rule a de facto gun ban - which runs into Heller and McDonald problems.

However, since I don't know the NY law in detail, do they mention that you can chamber one and then top off the mag to seven?

Just curious. That's not rare for 1911s and that's not going to make a 1911 significantly less or more dangerous.

PS - good luck on the suits. Buffalo was one of my home towns. Still has a place in my feelings!

None of these people understand guns.
