Terrified residents of a small upstate New York town grabbed their shotguns Tuesday after the two killers who staged a dramatic escape from a nearby state prison were tracked to their burg.

They armed themselves even as legions of cops and corrections officers descended on tiny Willsboro, N.Y. in hot pursuit of escaped convicts Richard Matt and David Sweat.

“My husband I both have conceal carry (licenses) and we have our guns loaded and they’re here in the house,” said Teresa Sayward, a former Republican Assemblywoman whose farm is located near where the wanted men were spotted. “Hopefully we won’t have to use them.”

Sayward said cops grilled them about hunting trails and turkey blinds that the escapees from the Clinton Correctional Facility could use for shelter.

“Is it Safe?”

Whoa!

What is this?

New York isn’t SAFE?

Weren’t we told the Safe Act would work as Advertised and keep people SAFE?

So what was the point of yet again another attack on Freedom by the Liberty Hating Left?

How will more deadly guns help this very precarious situation? Please think of the children! [/sarcasm]

That sounded almost exactly like what the Liberty hating leftists would parrot.

Impossible!!

NY is a SAFE state. You don’t need more than “10 boo-lets to kill a dee-ah.”

Oh the irony. Once again the incompetency of Andrew Cuomo and years of Democratic rule increases gun ownership in New York state.

This incident is yet another reason why the death penalty is necessary.

Here you have a situation where convicted murderers are sentenced to life without parole.

They have nothing to do all day long but to think of way to escape 24/7. And if they get caught they have absolutely nothing to lose.

Now they are on the loose and could very well kill again.

If they had help getting in smuggled tools they may also have help getting transport out of the area. But just a hunch.
That guy in PA took a few weeks to capture.

I agree. The plan was too well worked out to just simply have them end up a short distance from the prison. Something went wrong.

If they were smart, they each went their separate ways as soon as they got past the prison walls.

I threw all my guns into a nearby pond, so I’m all in line with the SAFE ACT. ;-)

Strangely enough, that sounds like what has been happening all over the country - even in Arizona. ;-)

The female prison worker who helped them escape got cold feet and didn’t pick them up like she was suppose to. I understand her son sticking up for his mother but I would bet money that she fell for this murderous lowlife. Lonely, unhappily married and overweight women are an inmate’s best friend in the prison.
