Oops! Seems they forgot to exempt that royal class, law enforcement! http://abclocal.go.com/wabc/story?section=news%2Flocal%2Fnew_york&id=8958116 Additions to be made to gun laws for law enforcement

NEW YORK (WABC) -- A troubling oversight has been found within New York State's sweeping new gun laws.
The ban on having high-capacity magazines, as it's written, would also include law enforcement officers.
Magazines with more than seven rounds will be illegal under the new law when that part takes effect in March.
As the statute is currently written, it does not exempt law enforcement officers.
Nearly every law enforcement agency in the state carries hand guns that have a 15 round capacity.
A spokesman for the governor's office called Eyewitness News to say, "We are still working out some details of the law and the exemption will be included, currently no police officer is in violation."
The Patrolman's Benevolent Association President released a statement saying, "The PBA is actively working to enact changes to this law that will provide the appropriate exemptions from the law for active and retired law enforcement officers."
State Senator Eric Adams, a former NYPD Captain, told us he's going to push for an amendment next week to exempt police officers from the high-capacity magazine ban. In his words, "You can't give more ammo to the criminals"

There is no reason they should change the law, remember this new gun control is supposed to make the streets safer, at least that's how it was sold...

That's right - they count "good riddance" shootings in the stats and claim that it is bad when criminals get shot.
So the cops having reduced mag capacities ought to save some of those 0bongo supporters too.

What makes them think the retired guys are any better than non-cops? And active cops should only get an exemption for mags carried while on duty.
Damn politicians anyhow!

Ernie It's actually "sauce for the goose" but I agree with you.
A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.

Just think how safe it would be if they banned all guns so the cops wouldn't need to carry them anymore.... :-P

On a serious note - that is a prime example of why legislation should never be penned behind closed doors and only brought out minutes before a vote. Legislation should be proposed, debated, amended and then voted on, up or down.
That's why we're still finding out all the loopholes and stupid ridiculous stuff in Obamacare. And now in the Fiscal cliff deal. Make a deal in private and rush it out at the 11th hour without being able to read or debate it....

Must have something to do with Jersey smelling like fart. How do you guys stand that? Or do you get used to it after a while?

Are you saying New Jersey doesn't smell like a huge fart? I have to drive through it every time I visit my folks on Long Island. What the hell is that from? Regular exposure to it has to cause brain damage eventually, no?

If they didn't change the law, it would almost gaurantee that NY Po Po would end up with 1911's and .357 Magnum revolvers again.
Personally, I wouldn't mind going to work with either of those, but not at the behest of [bleep] legislation that they threw together.

The 686 was one of my favorites. The 1911 would have been the cat arse.
