A City Council member from Queens is urging her constituents to arm themselves following a terrifying home invasion in which robbers posing as Amazon drivers tied up a family and snatched thousands of dollars in cash, according to cops.
Republican Vickie Paladino offered to help residents in her district — which covers Whitestone, where the ordeal took place — obtain gun permits in light of the break-in Monday morning.
“I want to remind my constituents that New Yorkers have a constitutional right to protect themselves,” Paladino said in a statement.
“I urge my constituents to avail themselves of their rights under the Second Amendment; my office is always available to assist constituents with obtaining firearm permits for premises or concealed carry,” she said Tuesday.
The conservative pol’s call to arms came as the NYPD on Wednesday released surveillance footage of the pair of wanted perps wearing baseball caps, with one of them carrying an Amazon box and the other wearing a bright-yellow vest, walking on the quiet residential block.
The masked thieves pushed their way into the home at around 9 a.m., tying up the family living there, including three children, duct-taping their mouths — and then making off with the cash and jewelry, cops said.
“The NYPD has indicated that this was a targeted incident and there is no ongoing threat to the community,” Paladino said.

In the color Dragnet reboot, Harry Morgan (Office Bill Gannon) said to the homeowner who had firearms at home:
“The time it takes you to unlock your gun safe and get your gun out to confront an intruder could be better spent calling us police on your phone.”
One of the creepiest moments on network television.
Victims Asian?
Victims Asian?
I thought NY was a *Duty to retreat* state.
Maybe in those days he had a point.
Even applies to Daniel Penny?
But not to Bernhard Goetz OF QUEENS, NEW YORK.
Applied to Dems and their armed security people.
Rush Limbaugh used to say that a conservative was just a Liberal who got mugged.
Let the muggings begin.
Who will arrive in about forty-five minutes or so, if they’re not busy elsewhere.
RE: tying up the family living there, including three children, duct-taping their mouths
Thanks be to God that they weren’t tortured and killed on a whim. Or sick entertainment.

Sledge Hammer TV series.
Detective Hammer calling for backup at a store and four or five patrol cars screech their tires and hit the brakes as they pull up a minute later.
“You guys are great. That is outstanding response time.”
Cop: “Uh, that place right next door is a donut shop.”
Idea: What if the Dem thugs planned this all along to do heists of major fentanyl shipments and knew hundreds of exhausted cops would be tied up fighting illegals and leave the city open to their plan? Distraction.
SMH. No threat to the community, until they target another family...
What a callous and stupid thing to say.
And always carry a bag of donuts in your car, you know, just in case.
Right, and let them live in that mess they created.
It’s them again, Yogi.
And only to them.
I have a close friend who is a total nutjob lefty except for the trans stuff. We remain good friends despite our political differences because we’ve known each other since 3rd grade. Anyway he approached me a couple of months ago and said he’s totally changed his mind about guns and now wants to buy one for himself and asked me which one he should buy. Something tells me the gun grabber Dems better change their tune because more lefties than they think are starting to change their minds about guns.
Whitestone WAS a nice neighborhood 🤦🤬
