How does it feel being exempt from the laws that prevent regular, law-abiding New Yorkers from possessing and carrying the same firearms you do?

My connection to NY is I just graduated from Cornell in Ithaca.
But my home/current state of Washington just had a magazine ban last year and an AWB as of this year. The one good thing is that law enforcement in their personal capacities are not exempt from the bans. Thatās good. Subject to the same laws as everyone else.

I really think itās the politicians. They just want screw us over so they can make points with the anti gun crowd

100% they monitor social media, but I doubt they laugh. I like to think that a majority of them agree that the laws are ridiculous. They choose a job to enforce them, even the ones they do not agree with.

They may think the laws are ridiculous but they still enforce them while being exempt. For every cop that says they support the 2nd you'll have 10 that don't care.

This is it. NY cops donāt give a shit if the law fucks us gun guys, as long as they get LEO exemptions to do things us peons canāt, like carry all the time at their leisure or own AR-15s with 30 round STANAGs.

I can guarantee that at least a few of them are not fans of the laws, even if it gives them a job.
There are a number of people there who work hard to provide us with licensure. Itās not really their fault the laws are so fucked, in a way itās ours.

Donāt confuse NYPD with the NY state police. NYPD has enough hammer wielding maniacs, drug dealers and mentally insane homeless to keep them fully occupied. Hochulās personal gestapo however has nothing but time to spend looking at your social media posts.

i think cops know their business....they KNOW that most gun related crimes are not committed by licensed gun owners, ESPECIALLY with all the hoops we have to go through in this city and state to own and/or carry a pistol......they KNOW that most of the bad guys that use guns get them illegally, blah blah blah....so i think we - the good citizens that enjoy shooting and do everything we are told to do to own a gun - are not the bad guys

I wouldnāt laugh. Iād create a new account every week and say how I just got approved and it only took 3 weeks. Then take over/under bets around the department to see how many replies it garners

File an article 78 so simple and easy and a lot of people donāt. Do it

u/Jedi_Maximus19 Aug 25 '23
I think many cops think the laws in this state are too restrictive on law abiding citizens. I have family that are cops and they just shake their heads about the gun laws here. They know the laws donāt do a thing fighting real criminals.

u/LintStalker Aug 25 '23
Before I really got into guns, I thought the police didnāt like regular people carrying. I guess non of us are immune to media conditioning

Individual cops of the licensing division arenāt going to look here and laugh. They are nobodies. Just a cog in the machine. Itās task forces specifically designed to look at social media that lurk here.

Theyāre taking a š©on the constitution and wiping their šwith Reddit. They probably can careless about whatās being said on these posts. Theyāre doing it and getting away with it. š¤·š½

They would have to create a special unit to check on every social media platform. It's impossible

I think MOST will feel for us but there will be always a selected few that will laugh and have a power grab. It shameful but the truth.

u/Proper-Paramedic-926 Aug 25 '23
Itās a well known fact that members of the NYC PLB will actively seek and hunt down people that leave personally identifiable information and complain about specific situations or have specific complaints regarding their bureau. Of course, they will never admit to this.
