Dawn Laughlin Cabrera I think NYS will now lose even more taxpaying residents to firearm friendly/low to no state tax states. I left in September. I didn't even bother attempting to get a pistol permit in NYS since it's a hoop jumping, very costly process. I came to Florida in September and already have my concealed carry permit. I took some gun safety courses and now feel very comfortable with firearms. NYS seems more communist than ever. I always thought NYS seemed like it's own little country. I feel so much freer and safer down here in Florida than I ever felt in NYS. I moved back up to NYS after the other Cuomo left office and will sure not live through another one. This one is on a massive power trip and is nuttier than a fruit cake.-
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office There has been a lot of interest in a recent JCSO arrest for criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree, which, contrary to what some are assuming, was unrelated to the NYSAFE Act, made before the NYSAFE Act existed, and before any details of the NYSAFE Act were known to the public or the law enforcement community.
Keep in mind an investigating agency has the advantage of knowing all of the facets of an incident, rather than just what you may have seen in the media. And as with any arrest, a defendant is given some privacy as well, which is why the public gets limited information.
As you have seen and read, the NYSAFE Act dropped magazine capacity from ten rounds to seven, meaning the existing law {PL §265.02 sub 8} already limited magazine capacity to ten rounds. PL §265.02(8) has been on the books, unchanged, in excess of 12 years:
§ 265.02 Criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree.
A person is guilty of criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree when:
(8) Such person possesses a large capacity ammunition feeding device. Criminal possession of a weapon in the third degree is a class D felony.
Definition:
23. "Large capacity ammunition feeding device" means a magazine, belt, drum, feed strip, or similar device, manufactured after September thirteenth, nineteen hundred ninety-four, that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition; provided, however, that such term does not include an attached tubular device designed to accept, and capable of operating only with, .22 caliber rimfire ammunition.
