DEERFIELD, N.Y. -- Gun rights advocates are standing behind a Central New York homeowner who shot and killed two people who were attempting to burglarize his home earlier this week.

More than $6,000 has been raised in a GoFundMe campaign to help Ronald Stolarczyk with his legal fees.

Stolarczyk, 64, of Deerfield, was charged with having an unregistered handgun after he shot the people who were burglarizing his home, police said. He was charged with criminal possession of a firearm, a felony, and remains in jail.

The handgun was unregistered. Stolarczyk told authorities the gun was his father’s, and when his father died he forgot to register it, according to Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara.

The two intruders he shot and killed have been identified as Patricia Anne Talerico, 57, and Nicholas A. Talerico, 27, of Utica, according to New York State Police. The aunt and nephew were burglarizing the home at 6110 Walker Road in Deerfield, police said.

Looks like the man is being charged under the unconstitutional NY SAFE ACT. Could be a good test case for the 2nd circuit which is about to flip pending confirmation of a couple of Trump judicial nominees.

Love the writers name, lol.

This will be an interesting case. Lots of questions if you regard “in fear of my life” vs property rights.

The real news from this story is that those 2 burglars are not black.

The aunt and nephew were burglarizing the home ...
The family that commits crimes together, stays together - in jail.

A late middle-aged woman and her nephew burglary team? Bizarre.

I'm gonna take "Things Meth Addicts Do" for $100, Alex.

These two are together in the morgue.

But meanwhile this man who just defended his home is sitting in jail and the legal fees will probably bankrupt him. The prosecutor for this case should drop all charges or be fired.

Lee25 :" The real news from this story is that those 2 burglars are not black."

The problem is that they were relatives.
How many times have we entertained relatives in our homes,
and in reality, they may have been sizing up the residence for a "hit".
Apparently, they were unaware of the firearm legacy.

This sounds like a possible test case to run the appeals route. It has a lot of moving parts though.

I saw the surname but also the possible ‘Family’ name Moses.
I immediately thought John Moses Browning.

Me thinks you are doing a little too much generalizing. In CA, they would most likely be Illegal Invaders, but not always.

Reminds me of the old saying about gun grabbers.
Liberals think that a woman found in an alley raped and strangled to death with her pantie hose, is morally superior to the one found alive standing holding a gun, over the dead body of her would be attacker.

In the 80s there was an ad for NY: We Love NY. Now it will be We Hate NY... 😋

Good call. I'd like to see pictures of them from before they got ventilated. I bet they would be informative.

When I read a sad story like this one, I thank God the PA has very good gun laws and has the 'Castle Doctrine'.

I can protect my life, where ever I am.

No more Mickey Mouse crap about dragging his body into the front door, and you don't to wait to get shot before you shoot.

"I shot him because I feared for my life and I want my lawyer", and now I STFU.
