The good news in my family's particular case and I've posted it before if it sounds familiar, is that my dad, in the early 1980’s, when he knew he was getting older, had my brother put on his pistol permit. My brother took this paperwork to our sheriff's dept. and NY state's response was “we don't allow that anymore”. But my brother proved it was a legal document and in 1983 was allowed so he was given the guns. Otherwise, the state would have taken them. My dad and brother were always "gun guys" and kept up with rules and what they could do before some new moronic NY law went into effect. I hate to see what NY state has put other families through that don't keep up with these laws.
You shouldn’t lose your rights because you cross a state line. It’s still America. This is like a modern, state imposed, Fugitive Slave Law, only this time it’s the 2nd Amendment.
My Dad passed away in Ontario County, same thing happened, they came looking for his handguns, my brother the executor suggested that they drag Canandaigua Lake. Said they were lost in a “tragic boating accident”.
I suspect they did not believe him.
gotta go now..........i`m off to the range.
