NYSRPA files suit in Buffalo
The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association has filed a federal case for declaratory relief in the Western District of New York. A copy of their petition can be found here: http://polhudson.lohudblogs.com/2013...ainst-gun-law/
In addition to the usual respondents, the NYSRPA has also sued the Lancaster town police chief and Erie County District Attorney Frank Sedita. |

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.

I first lived near UB when I went to school and then my wife and I lived in Amherst and then Tonawanda.
I miss Beef on Weck and the Anchor Bar Chicken wings. Not to divert off the topic. I used to drool at the handguns at a store on Sheridan Drive but didn't fight through the hassle of getting one - and then we moved out of state. PS - excuse a fumble on the reply

Anybody else have the sneaking suspicion that one of those "or four men in a closed room" said, " . . . but Andy, my 1911 has a seven-round magazine, and I don't want IT to be illegal. . . " ?

Just for grins
Someone posted this at another board. It is a list of crimes in New York that are considered less offensive than a person who owns magazine for a firearm that is greater than the state has deemed "enough."
Note that luring a child, 3rd degree rape, or criminally negligent homicide are somehow less offensive than the mere possession of a square metal or plastic tube with a spring in it. Attribution: Michael Z. Williamson Quote:
