Iraq veteran escapes prison time under NY gun grabbing law

Simeon D. Mokhiber, 42, of upstate New York had a close call in court last week. Mokhiber is an Iraq combat veteran who served in the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division as well as the National Guard. Following his active duty service he worked private security details protecting U.S. officials in both Iraq and Afghanistan. But last year he was pulled over in Niagra County and charged with driving under the influence. (A charge which was dismissed.) The police found three 17-round Glock magazines in a container in his vehicle. There was no firearm in the car… just the magazines.

Hmmm. Almost a dangerous as crossing into meh-eek-Oh with a couple of spent .22 shells in the bed of your pick up truck. Thanks NY. Now, about those compounds where islamists reportedly hang out. Any action on that? No? Hmmm.

Three empty magazines should not get you arrested anywhere that the 2nd Amendment applies.

That leaves out the communist states, CA, MA, NJ, NY, CT, IL, HI

The political bosses of NY have sold out to the Islamic invaders ... the Muslims want to have as many NY citizens disarmed and defenseless as possible
and to HELL with our “inalienable rights” in the meantime

Freedom from marxists of NYS is found 50 miles south in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania...

Much, much, lower taxes.

Amazing gun laws. Like in shall issue CCW. Buy and shoot whatever gun and magazine you like. Castle Law in defending your house...etc.

With the current makeup of the Supreme Court, it could also have resulted in the NY laws being struck down, like Chicago's were.

Three? Sounds like this could be bordering on a dangerous stockpile.

And here in WA I was carrying two 40rd .223 magazines (empty) bought at a gun show in a state that’s pretty much liberal.

Or had empty .22 shells rolling around. There was this case where a kid in one of those states brought an empty .223 shell casing to school. It was fired off at a military cemetery. He was suspended and I thing the class went through counseling.

OMG, high capacity pistol magazines without a pistol! He must have been a mass murderer. I guess some NY police have to charge a guy for something to up their collar rate. To bad they just didn't leave it at driving under the influence.

The more they can “demonize” anything related to firearms, especially in the eyes of the impressionable youth, the easier it is down the road to disarm the entire populace of the country....and that is their evil goal.
Teach your kids good, safe, basic firearms usage. It drives libs absolutely even more insane than they already are. Put it in their face so they can fear out even more to think a “child” being taught how to shoot.

Guess the 500 rounds of 9mm JHP I keep in the back of my car in case I have some unexpected free time to hit the range makes me a terrorist.

I’m in Illinois and I’m carrying 3 loaded magazines right now along with the pistol they fit. I’ll be in Chicago later today for a meeting and I’ll be legal there, too.

One mag in the piece and a round in the chamber.
