NY safe act confusion
So i ask my local police chief exactly how many rounds are we allowed. He said ten. I asked a nys trooper he said seven, i ask the deputy sheriff how many rounds he said seven plus one. NyS is determined to make good people into criminals as even law enforcement doesn’t know exactly. They turn good people into criminals via laws no one can figure out except when you break them and lose your carry permit. I carry six in all my guns as it’s nuts
Then I ask is any semi auto 223 an assault weapon that must be registered. I get no, yes, maybe. Last edited by Dano4734; January 5, 2019 at 09:39 PM. |

Magazine capacity of 10 rounds maximum.
Can load 10 in magazine. Can have 1 in chamber. 10+1 is SAFE legal. |

The original SAFE Act specified a capacity not to exceed seven rounds. IIRC, a court ruled that was uneforceable and it was revised to ten rounds. However, NY State says you may only load seven rounds except at the range or in your home.

"The magazine provisions were struck down by Judge Skretny in 2013,[13] and this ruling was upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit in 2015, making it so "gun owners can legally load 10 rounds in a 10-round magazine."[10] Neither the Act nor the subsequent court cases affected New York's pre-existing ten-round magazine limit.[11] The Act does not place a limit on the number of magazines that individuals could purchase at any one time."
Correct, AFAIK, not limited to range or competition. |

There is a phone number you can call. I *think* Its 1-800 safe act.
I had to call when I got my M1A to see if it was legal. They said they did not like the threaded barrel. I had to grind off the threads and weld the front sight/gas cylinder on in 4 equadistant places around the circumrence. It can also be pinned. If you search, all the answers are there.

So does that mean my Henry Goldenboy .22 and Marlin Model 60 that hold 14 rounds in a tubular magazine are illegal if i load them up when i take them out hunting? Both guns are sold here at various stores in NY.

I bet no one can answer that one. By the way the 7 round magazine rule is still on the books and the state police said they enforce it. Local da said he will throw out every case. See what i mean. Local police and sheriff allow ten rounds so it will depend on where you go

Moral of the story when will our lawmakers sit down with sportsman and law enforcement and revise / review laws and make laws that don’t turn good people into criminals. We have some of the finest law enforcement in the nation but they are not consulted as they pass knee jerk laws that make no one safer

You also need to be aware that knowing and following the law MAY NOT keep you out of trouble. If you are within the law, it should save you from being convicted, but it won't save you from being detained, arrested, booked, and spending time in jail until you can arrange bail, IF the police think you are breaking the law.
First off, even the best informed officers should not be expected to be aware of every court case that modifies a law. They might be aware, but its not something you should expect. Where I used to work there was a "Required Reading" book. Whenever there was a change to procedures, the entire crew was required to read them, and sign that that had read them. Most of the stuff had little or nothing to do with MY job, but all of it did relate to someone's job. We used to joke, about how the book was "required reading", but NOT "required remembering".... Second point, while you may know the law better than the cop, he's NOT going to take your word for it. And there are some who operate on the principle that it doesn't matter. As an illustration, I offer the experience of a friend... A friend of mine has a (registered) antique motorcycle. 1940 Indian, a sweet bike, fully restored. Our state has a helmet law. If you ride a motorcycle, you must wear a helmet. UNLESS it is a registered antique motorcycle, then the a helmet is NOT required by the law. Most street cops don't know this. They know, motorcycle + no helmet = ticket. My friend carries a copy of the law with him when he rides his Indian. When he gets stopped, he explains, and shows the officer the law. He says this gets him out of about HALF of the tickets. About half the time, the officer, shown a valid copy of the relevant law, pointing out that no helmet is legal for that bike, does not write a "no helmet" ticket. The OTHER half the time, the cop writes the ticket, anyway. Despite being shown the law, they still write the ticket, saying "if you are right, the judge will throw it out. Have a nice day!" SO, be mentally (and physically) prepared in case a cop THINKS you are violating the law, you will be processed in the system, with all that entails, until either the prosecutor refuses to try the case, or does take it to trial and the judge throws it out, or the jury rules in your favor. And, don't expect an apology from the police, they did "nothing" wrong. You might even have to go to court (again) to recover your property, or restitution for costs, damages, etc. It may be "wrongful imprisonment" to you or I, but isn't, in the legal system, until the moment a judge rules that it was. Good Luck.

If Wikipedia is right, then that would change to 10+1.

I've always kind of considered it a social contract that by remaining in this country I'd try to be a "good citizen" and follow the rules (that's my part of the contract), the other part of the contract is the rules have to be understandable. Guess who I think is falling down on their responsibilities. |
