New York Revolution and Gun Rights Across America: New York have organized an event to call County Clerks this coming Monday and ask them to request a resolution for their county: https://www.facebook.com/events/593788670705144/

County Seal / Logo / Name resolutions - NY SAFE Resolutions

The resistance to the #NYSAFE act continues with a second wave of resolutions. Counties are saying to Cuomo: "This is on you. It is your law, don't try to associate us with it."

These resolutions deny New York State the right to use their county seal, logo, name, etc from being used in conjunction with SAFE act related letters or other messages (for example pistol permit renewals). This is a method to show continued resistance and to prevent county residents from thinking their county endorses the so called SAFE act in any way.

Counties:

  1. Allegany County
  2. Cattaraugus County
  3. Cayuga County
  4. Chautauqua County
  5. Chemung County
  6. Cortland County-
  7. Delaware County
  8. Dutchess County [executive order]
  9. Essex County
  10. Franklin County
  11. Genesee County
  12. Herkimer County
  13. Livingston County
  14. Monroe County
  15. Niagara County
  16. Onondaga County
  17. Ontario County
  18. Orleans County
  19. Orange County
  20. Otsego County
  21. Oswego County
  22. Rensselaer County
  23. Saratoga County
  24. Schoharie County
  25. Schuyler County
  26. Steuben County
  27. St. Lawrence County
  28. Tioga County
  29. Warren County
  30. Washington County

I have never seen anything like this in any state before. Such open revolt by a majority of local governments. There have got to be anti-Safe Act DA's somewhere in New York. It is not just the lawsuits that are important in our fight, or voting. What the local governments do will matter tremendously. Stay active, let your local representatives know that you are against the Safe Act in all respects.

At first it was the county resolutions, now this is growing. I think this is great. It will continue to grow.

Newly-elected St. Lawrence County DA Mary Rain rode on the same school bus to the SAFE Act Rally in February 2013. She has nothing good to say about unsafe.

Jury nullification is when a jury deliberately acquits someone charged with a crime even after the government has proven all the elements of the crime(s) charged beyond a reasonable doubt. In essence the jury is telling the government in such a situation that it rejects the case or the policy as political or something else and not a true crime (at least in that case). There is nothing the government can do about it, an acquittal is permanent. No recharging of anyone and the jury cannot be punished. I want every Safe Act case that gets to court to be decided that way.

Glad to see Monroe County on there. County Clerk Cheryl Dinolfo was openly critical about the "opt out" forms, and said she will consider everyone opted out because there is too much paperwork to process. She showed stacks and stacks of "opt out" forms on the news. Her husband is a Judge, and signed my pistol permit. He appears to be 2A friendly. At least at the moment, Monroe County appears more 2A friendly than other parts of the state. Glad to see the number of counties banding together.

I live down state and the tone of the uniformed bleeding heart is just nauseating!


The FACTS remain: MORE GUNS = LESS CRIME

where is the confusion? if the media would speak the truth, we would have different elected officials!

So I understand the thought behind not letting the state use the seals, but that still doesn't solve the issue of renewing permits. My NYS permit like everyone else has never had an expiration date on it, how will we know when it is time for renewal? Why should we have to renew it? Is this being fought, the counties should make resolutions stating that they are not going to enforce the renewal. That is what they should be doing. How are we going to get around this????

I was in the Chautauqua count Pistol permit office. They said 6 counties where selected to get the letters first then other counties would fallow. I was told my county would be seeing them in June or July.
