If there are any lawyers on that list, which seems likely, it would be nice for them to probe this issue. If the newspaper committed fraud, that could be a problem.<br /><br />I'll note that the newspaper has hired armed security, in yet another stunning act of hypocrisy. As soon as someone makes a nasty phone call, they get armed guards, but you "common peasants" who live there, too bad for you! <br /><br />SiGraybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280583031339062059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-42273897258846874042013-01-02T17:01:45.426-05:002013-01-02T17:01:45.426-05:00You wrote: "... the list of license holders w...You wrote: "... the list of license holders was probably illegal to acquire and publish (saw that stated somewhere, but can't find the link now)."<br /><br />I saw the same info on a few blogs and did a little research into New York Senate Bill 2488, which "Relates to pistol permit privacy and makes all personal information regarding pistol or revolver licensees confidential except to law enforcement agencies and to individuals requesting information about a named individual." Two key points in this bill:<br /><br />First, these records are NOT public records any longer [note that the wording in brackets indicates old law that is now omitted], but are deemed confidential:<br />"The name and address of any person to whom an application for any license has been granted shall be [a public record] CONFIDENTIAL AND SHALL NOT BE MADE AVAILABLE EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH (B) OF THIS SUBDIVISION.<br /><br />Second, this confidential information CANNOT legally be released to anyone except law enforcement:<br />"A request for the entire list of licensees, or for all licensees in a geographic area, shall be denied, except to any law enforcement agency or any entity acting on behalf of or providing services to any law enforcement agency."<br /><br />I am linking first to a blog that includes the full text of the bill (short and easy to read) and its interpretation of the bill:<br />http://www.firearmstalk.com/forums/f97/forget-about-irresponsible-even-legal-79303/index7.html<br /><br />The post at FireArmsTalk.com states: "Because law enforcement agencies in NY are the stewards of the information that has been made public. The law, as amended on 2/24 of this year clearly states that such information shall be for law enforcement use only ... so either one of the law enforcement agencies charged with this duty was derelict and released the information, or Mr Dwight R Worley misrepresented himself in his freedom of information request or a combination of the two or worse ... ."<br /><br />However, another website raises a question about the current status of the bill:<br />http://legiscan.com/NY/bill/S02488<br /><br />The amendment was passed in the NY Senate in June 2012 and was delivered to the Assembly. The LegiScan site notes that its current status is "referred to codes." I don't know what that means, but I suspect that it hasn't yet been enacted into law. If so, then the release of the records may not have been illegal under the existing law, but will become illegal if and when the amended version as described above is passed and signed into law.<br /><br />Hope this info will help further the conversation in productive ways.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-44974714927002326482013-01-01T01:48:11.176-05:002013-01-01T01:48:11.176-05:00Were I a licensed firearms dealer, (and a shade di...Were I a licensed firearms dealer, (and a shade dishonest), I would be swimming in money right now from just AR lowers alone.<br /><br />Fortunately, I am neither, and my forging collection remains my own.Theredneckengineerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03356011400643553377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592992209402300549.post-751352260432625402012-12-31T20:27:23.860-05:002012-12-31T20:27:23.860-05:00The only AR I saw that was north of $2000 was a 6....The only AR I saw that was north of $2000 was a 6.8 SPC version for about $2500 - if I recall correctly. <br /><br />One seller whom I've bought from before was selling his handguns at exactly the same prices as the last show.
