It does, but I doubt many LEO's would do enforce it if it was an obvious accident, like my friend experienced. As to the other poster, in NY printing isn't the same as your shirt/coat riding up, and I'm sure wouldn't be an issue either.

I was in line at a convenience store with a friend. We were both carrying. His jacket had ridden up over his .45 and caught on it. The NY State Trooper in line behind him pulled his jacket down for him. I thought that was a pretty gracious move. Could've arrested him for brandishing...

No, we're not. We voted correctly. We protested correctly. We were outnumbered. Read the numbers in the above posts. Wait until the national version of this law hits you. Will YOU be an embarrassment to the nation -- because it can happen to you, too. NY bashing is getting out of...

This is so oversimplified. I voted for people who voted against it. NY is overwhelmed by the influence of NYC. We are outnumbered. The "you got what you deserved" has been repeated in several threads, worded various ways. I did not get what I deserved. I will say this again, to...

TomRKBA Get a grip. NY is a huge state. It's a VERY red state with a couple of very big BLUE cities that influence everything that happens. We are outnumbered. Did you elect Obama? Someone in a foreign country would say "those stupid Americans elected Obama. They are STUPID and...

Again, many of us don't embrace any of it. We're outnumbered by a city that, in my case, is hundreds of miles away. My local legislators voted against this. Why has this guy's trolling been tolerated here?? Not The High Road I know and love.

I don't know...this is the list of 'assault weapons'. It really doesn't address the magazine issue, regarding handguns NOT classified as assault weapons. Still blurry for me. Also high-capacity revolvers are not mentioned. Could be a sticking point. Waiting to see.

You're right. I've seen the overwhelmingly red map. In area, NY is a red state. Because of sheer urban numbers, we're a blue state. I can't stand the NY ignorance. It is a huge state, with two, huge, mountainous regions, the finger lakes, and Western NY (Niagara Falls, etc). And...

As others have said, this is oversimplified in many regards and, for some workplaces, totally wrong. I work on hazardous sites. I'm not allowed to carry there. And if you think, after 9-11, that giant chemical plants are soft targets, you're totally wrong. Think about it. That...

I have a bunch of threads on THR talking about this. My load is 10.9 gr of Unique pushing a 240gr (usually MagTech) JSP. It's been my go-to load for target shooting, plinking and has taken 5 deer from 5 to 85 yards from two different hunting revolverw. When I'm hiking or archery hunting...

I have the Para GI Expert ESP (not stainless, blued). I got it early last spring. It's a well-made, highly accurate 1911. The only problems I experienced were with the two included Para magazines. Many, many failures to return to battery. With two Kimber mags, no such problems in a...

3-5? In Maine, that would be a monster. That's a great buck, but more like 2.5 years old, tops. Just my opinion.

I think they're great. Use em in .45acp (FMJ), .357 (JSP) and .44mag (JSP). 44mag Magtech 240's have accounted for 5 deer for me from 5-85 yards. Excellent penetration and expansion even over my light/moderate handload.

I'd go with the golf ball suggestion. I used to be really passionate about early season squirrel hunting, and picked it up again this year (Marlin bolt action .22mag). As an above poster said, don't limit to head shots. A behind-the-front leg shot is easier, and will kill them just as...

+1 on the Borax. I would rinse the salt off of it ASAP, pat dry, and then sprinkle liberally with Borax.
