SUBJECT: LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST NY SAFE ACT

Today, March 21, 2013, the lawsuit against the so-called
NY SAFE act was filed. This suit has multiple plaintiffs.
The text of the complaint can be viewed or downloaded
here.

Filing text

We will be posting any developments as they occur.

As law-abiding citizens, and as safe and responsible gun owners, we are outraged at the efforts of Governor Cuomo, along with many members of the New York State Assembly and the New York State Senate, to take away our Second Amendment rights. We are challenging the SAFE Act because it is unconstitutional. The SAFE Act violates our fundamental right to keep and use arms for self-defense, and the defense of our loved ones and homes. The SAFE Act also deprives us of the right to use firearms for hunting and sport shooting. The SAFE Act deprives lawful gun owners and licensees of our property and hurts our businesses.

You can find a copy of our Complaint at www.WCFOANY.org. We are represented by counsel. Since we are now involved in ongoing litigation, we refer you for further comment to our counsel, Brian Stapleton. Mr. Stapleton can be reached at (914) 798-5470, or by email at bstapleton@goldbergsegalla.com. Thank you very much.

SUBJECT: WESTCHESTER OPT-OUT FORMS FOR FOIL REQUESTS

Everyone is aware of the outrage over the dangerous, reckless and irresponsible publishing
by the Gannett Journal News of the names and addresses of Westchester
County pistol license holders.

To prevent another incident, Westchester County, in order to comply with a provision of
the recently passed “SAFE” law, has made available an “opt-out” form which will
serve to remove an individual licensee’s information from any future Freedom Of Information
Law (FOIL) releases.

Here is the statement from the County Clerk’s office:

=================================================================

Pistol Permit Holder “Opt-Out” Form Now Available
The form on which a pistol permit holder can request that their name and address not be made public was
released by the New York State Police on Friday, February 15, 2013. The form will be mailed out to all active
pistol permit holders in Westchester County. Opt-Out forms should be mailed to The Office of the Westchester
County Clerk, Attn: Pistol Permit Unit, 110 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., White Plains, NY 10601. Forms
can also be hand-delivered to the office between the hours of 8 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
==================================================================

As stated, forms will be mailed to all pistol license holders. Note that the completed form must still be
reviewed by a “licensing officer”, which means a judge in a court, before being approved.

There is a moratorium on any FOIL releases of pistol license data for the next few months which will
allow license holders time to get their opt-out forms submitted.

The opt-out form will also be available for download on our website, FOIL Opt-Out Form and as well
can be downloaded from the links above to the Clerk’s site.

Members who wish to attend the rally can get information and travel directions
at the NYSRPA website:

Please visit the NYSRPA link for late-breaking and updated information.

The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association (NYSRPA), the Westchester County
Firearm Owners Association (WCFOA), the Sportsmen’s Association for Firearm
Education (SAFE) and AR-15.com.LLC have filed a Notice of Claim against
the State of New York regarding the recently passed NY SAFE law.

As all gun owners no doubt know, this law was passed literally in the dark of
night,  with no public notice, no public input or participation.
Contrary to customary State protocol the bill was not held for public view
for three days, but rather was rammed through the Legislature.  It is
an outrage.  It contains flaws and errors and it is a disgrace.

By filing this lawsuit, the New York State organizations involved have made
clear their intent, and the intent of their members, to fight this law on every
level, and to take it, if necessary, to the United States Supreme Court.
It is not an exaggeration to state that the future of gun ownership in New York State
hinges on the outcome of this lawsuit.  In fact the future of gun ownership in the
United States will be affected directly by the outcome of this New York lawsuit.

The move to disarm lawful firearm owners and strip them of their
Constitutionally-recognized, individual right to lawfully keep and bear arms
is a cancer.  It is a cancer that has taken root in, as Governor Cuomo
stated in this State of the State address, “the Progressive capital of the country”,
New York.  If this unconstitutional violation is allowed to stand it will
undoubtedly spread.  We see signs of that already as President Obama and
Vice-President Joseph Biden take their dog-and-pony anti-gun show on
the road, countrywide, replete with the lies, distortions and falsehoods that
always have characterized the citizen disarmament movement’s tactics.

The organizations that are plaintiffs in the lawsuit have committed to see this lawsuit
through to its conclusion.  This means that the costs of the suit have also been
committed.

Now is the time to “do something” by helping to fund this suit.  Those who can afford
to make a donation to defray the costs of the suit can do so by going to
www.WCFOANY.org and clicking on the
“donate” button on the main page.  Funds can be donated using PayPal or ANY credit card. 
OR, donations may be mailed in to WCFOA, PO Box 91, Rye Brook, NY 10573.  Mark your
check “NYSAFE lawsuit”.

There is no alternative but to win this lawsuit.    We will be sending updates
as the lawsuit progresses.

The Notice of Claim can be viewed/downloaded here: NYSAFE Notice of Claim

We wish to thank all of our members for their past support and reaffirm our intent
to see this battle through to the end.

The list shows the Senate Committee vote as well as the floor vote in both the

Senate and the Assembly.  The AYE votes are votes to violate your firearm rights.

The NAY votes are votes to protect  your firearm rights.  Call, write or email

the Senators and Assemblymen and thank those who voted to protect your

rights, and condemn those who voted to violate your rights.

Look for media outlets in your area and start contacting them.

The publishing of the online, interactive “map” of New York pistol license holders’ names and addresses continues to jeopardize tens of thousands of individuals and families – it must be taken down.

Gannett’s ongoing persecution of lawful gun owners is a cancer that if left unchecked will surely spread across the country.  New York is the  “test case”, and we can expect  shortly to see similar actions on a national scale.

We need all gun owners across the country to speak out in a strong, united voice and make clear our intent to use our financial clout to force Gannett to cease its persecution and demonizing of lawful citizens who own guns.

It is important that members and concerned citizens contact as many of these
advertisers as possible.  A short letter which starts by quickly outlining the
irresponsible Journal News act of publishing the names and
addresses of pistol license holders (and a Google Maps
picture with directions and family members names) would be best.

State that you will no longer patronize any advertiser who uses Gannett
unless and until that advertiser withholds further ads until Gannett takes
down the pistol license page and ceases attacking lawful firearm ownership.
Particularly, contact advertisers with whom you already do business,
and who may know you personally.

The Journal News has put in harm’s way tens of thousands of lawful license holders.
This action by the Journal News can only be viewed as an attempt to
intimidate and bully lawful gun-owning citizens.  The data posted also includes active
and retired police, judges, battered and stalked individuals, FBI agents, and more.

The Journal News has made no credible case, nor any valid reason for releasing the data,
and it serves no investigative or journalistic purpose.

SUBJECT:  CONTINUED HARASSMENT OF LAWFUL
FIREARM OWNERSHIP BY JOURNAL NEWS

As most members are aware, the Journal News, the local Gannett newspaper,
has again taken reckless and irresponsible action to further its unceasing
attacks on legal, lawful firearm ownership.

Similar to what the Journal News did in 2006 when they published the database
of all Westchester pistol licensees, the latest attack is an online, interactive
map of Westchester (and other counties) with red dots on the addresses of
pistol licensees.  It can be viewed on LoHud’s site:

http://www.lohud.com/interactive/article/20121223/NEWS01/121221011/Map-Where-gun-permits-your-neighborhood-?gcheck=1

The map can be expanded to show street detail, and using Google Maps the house  and
surrounding terrain can be viewed.

Unfortunately the names and addresses of pistol license holders
are a “public record”, and as such are available to anyone.  By openly publishing this data
the Journal News has not only placed pistol licensees in jeopardy, but they have also needlessly
endangered the safety of the general public.  In effect they have published a
“shopping list for criminals”, who would otherwise not have access to such information.

It is clear that the Journal News intends to intimidate and endanger lawful pistol licensees.
Besides showing what houses have licensed individuals, it also shows what houses
DO NOT have pistol licensees — valuable information to criminals who do not want to
chance facing armed citizens.

The Journal News recklessness extends even further.  The list contains the names of
current and retired police officers, judges, attorneys and others who are exposed to serious
threat by making it easy to locate and “case” their homes anonymously online.

Nearly every legislative session in Albany sees a bill introduced to make pistol license data private and
confidential, much like medical and mental records, available only to those with valid legal reasons
to access them.  However, it is the CITY-DEMOCRAT-CONTROLLED ASSEMBLY
that refuses to pass this common-sense law.  Their inaction, or rather their willful action against these
privacy proposals, speaks volumes about their true intent towards legal, lawful firearm ownership.

Other states that saw pistol license information published did in fact make their databases confidential
and thereby stopped such irresponsible action.

The reaction to this latest outrage has been immediate and vehement.  The Journal News admits in
today’s paper that the response has been “The overwhelming majority of comments strongly object to the article”.
it can be viewed at:

http://www.lohud.com/article/20121226/NEWS02/312260035/Journal-News-gun-owner-database-draws-criticism

The New York State Rifle and Pistol Association has alerted its members and is utilizing its
phone bank to assist firearm owners in contacting the Journal news to register their displeasure
and to organize a boycott of the Journal News and its advertisers.

For now the most effective steps you can take are to:

1) write the Journal News and condemn them — and cancel your subscription

2) write or call your elected state representatives and demand that they pass a law making pistol license
databases confidential.  The public safety cannot be compromised by reckless anti-gun
zealots such as the Journal News staff whose bias overrides any concern for the safety of lawful
citizens

3) write to the Journal News ADVERTISERS and tell them that effective immediately you will refuse
to patronize them unless and until they pull their ads from the Journal News.

One last legal activity which emphasizes that “turnabout is fair play” is to “out” all of the management
and staff at the Journal News.  Their personal information, too, is online for everyone to see.

We will have other anti-gun issues to address during the coming year.  We need to
put the anti-gun zealots and victim disarmament proponents on notice that we don’t intend
to sit quietly on the sidelines while our rights are violated and the personal safety of ourselves and
our families is threatened by the reckless political acts of cowards.
