"Haddad was charged with five counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon and arraigned in Watertown town court."
Watertown, New York, is 70 miles north of Syracuse, N.Y. The Army's Fort Drum is nearby.
A town of LeRay man was accused Sunday of possessing high-capacity magazines for an assault rifle.
Jefferson County Sheriff's deputies say 32 year old Nathan Haddad allegedly had five 30-round magazines for an AR-15 rifle in his possession. Police say the magazines were found during a vehicle check on Steinhilber Road in the town of LeRay.
Haddad was charged with five counts of third degree criminal possession of a weapon and arraigned in Watertown town court.

Thanks for the link, and for the original post R4D.
I wonder if the brief article is leaving something out, like he is a convicted felon or something and if the existing laws would prevent him from having magazines? Which in itself can be debated. If someone is deemed to be fit to be out of prison, why can they not enjoy all of their God given rights?
Or - the cops are jumping the gun on the new laws.
Watertown is to Ft. Drum like Fayet-nam is to Ft. Bragg. Columbus to Ft. Benning. Barstow to Ft. Irwin. Leesville to Fort Polk, and so on. It is a city with a lot of soldiers running around next to a major Army base.
Watertown *should* be a soldier-known place to local law enforcement ( I say ‘soldier known’ and NOT ‘soldier friendly’ - no place in New York that I’ve been to likes soldiers).
NY - you hate me and I hate you so we’re even. Haven’t met an NY’er yet that didn’t hate me for being Southern. Suck it Sheep.
As I’ve said in other posts, the new NY law places all LEOs and soldiers in violation of the law. Now, who will arrest the law enforcers or the lawmakers?
