Long Island Firearms
A few minutes ago, my dad knocked on my door and told me the NYPD was asking for me. They wanted to inspect my guns, my permit and my paper work to make sure the serial numbers all matched up. I went downstairs, greeted them and what not and they told me I could bring the guns to the door for them to inspect. I then said nahh just come to my room and I'll show you everything, I'm not bringing my guns outside. Knowing that my parents are anti's they were now acting nervous as to why they were here in my room.
The gun I was concerned about was my Benelli M4, which is configured NYC compliant, they took a look at that along with my Ruger 10/22, matched the serial numbers, looked at my permit, said thank you have a good night and went on their way.
A couple of the questions they asked me:
How many guns do you own? I own 2 officer, thats all I need. Do you have a pistol permit also, where is it? I dont have a pistol permit 1 Police Plaza was giving me a hard time about it Is your gun loaded? nope... my guns are unloaded and the ammo is kept separate Wow, how much money did you spend on that M4? geez!?!? about $1600 dollars officer
I was very cooperative with them as I offered them my registration, my permit etc etc. and when the officers saw that I had my guns locked up in a nice hard and water proof Storm case, unloaded, and stuffed in the back of my closet it put a smile on their face.....as they got to see that I am a responsible gun owner.
