    Suburban New York... increasing participation - but how?

    I appreciate everyone's replies. Looks like lackadaisical participation is rather endemic to our culture, and seems to be a bit difficult to overcome. Stubert's idea is a great one, but there simply aren't any clubs in my area that have a "sweat equity" option or requirement as part of one's...

    Suburban New York... increasing participation - but how?

    I've become increasingly active in local pro-RKBA. Partly because the other side is getting larger, louder and more organized, mostly because I care passionately about the issue. During the last public hearing I attended, which was a discussion about banning vs. further tightening rules on...

    PA laws for an out-of-stater?

    I appreciate everyone's responses. I have no intention of carting loaded firearms or even loaded magazines around PA. I'm more than happy to keep everything separate, unloaded, etc. I'm not overly concerned about the relatively short drive from the NY border to my friend's house and back -...

    PA laws for an out-of-stater?

    Thanks for the additional info. It sounds like I'd be OK. Is there a requirement, as they have in NJ, for "no deviations" while *transporting* - ie a stop for coffee, restroom etc?

    PA laws for an out-of-stater?

    Greetings: I'm not too encouraged by what I'm seeing from what I'm reading about PA gun laws. I'm a resident of NYS (with a relatively rare unrestricted "full carry" permit), but no nonresident PA permit. I'd like to bring a rifle or two and a handgun or two to a friend's house in...

    CT - OK to ship a magazine?

    A friend is interested in buying a used 8-round magazine from me. (I live in New York state, they're far into CT, an inconvenient drive) What are the laws in CT as far as a magazine of under 10 rounds? Are private sales still allowed at all? Should I have him email a scan of his CT permit...

    FYI - Buffalo Police to Confiscate Guns...

    This is nothing all that new. Back in January an MTA trackworker friend from my local range was killed on the job. His handguns were rounded up PDQ, ink barely dry on his death certificate.

    Calling on all New Yorkers

    I voted for Astorino today. For any out of staters, or NYers who are far, far from Westchester: he's very well liked around Westchester County, both by the citizenry and by gun owners. It's clear he despises the SAFE Act, but it's unclear how he feels about the legacy gun laws, such as the...

    Defensive encounter on the high seas

    Furled Sails podcast #48 had an excellent guest appearance by a fellow named Captain Jack - he and some friends sailed (with proper permission) to Cuba, and had a very interesting ship-to-ship encounter with some would-be pirates. Good thing they had an array of weapons aboard - I couldn't find...

    We lost the fight... Greetings, all: Today the WCPRRL (Ardsley Range) received a certified letter announcing that its landlord, the Consolidated Edison, was exercising its right to terminate its lease with 30 days' notice. No matter the legislative outcome (which suddenly tilted...

    Westchester, NY Issues

    Indeed we need police on our side - unfortunately in media reports they keep mentioning a that it's "not a real police range" which is only true in the sense that it's not affiliated with a particular department, although run by a board of retired and current cops and used by them all the time...

    Westchester, NY Issues

    It's a private corporation called Westchester County Police Revolver and Rifle League, inc. Run by a board of directors mostly consisting of active duty and retired LEO. Cops get to shoot for free, and at times members have brought up the idea of charging them something to help us further...

    That's not a bad idea. A bunch of guys from the Ardsley Range are familiar with the issues with Blue Trail. In addition, the NSSF directed us to a White Plains firm with experience in defending Ranges. Thanks for everyone's input so far.

    Right now the Range Mananger goes to work and locks the gate behind him. Is that enough to fend off the discontinued use issue? How about barbequing or BB gun shooting or archery?

    Westchester, NY Issues

    I think you meant Blue Mountain, which is near Camp Smith? Cortlandt area? The Ardsley Range is near a strip of land that has powerlines and some other ConEd infrastructure. ConEd sold off some of the land for the housing development. I don't think there was ever a military installation in...

    Westchester, NY Issues

    Admittedly, I'm sort of "grasping at straws" here. I'm trying everything I can. The Range only has handwritten sign in sheets. I made PDFs of them and another Member is apparently making a tally of officers using the facility. I don't think anyone from my Range has gone that far yet...
