Left with little or no choice, Palumbo complied, giving state police the names and addresses of at least 170 customers.<\/p>\n<p>Palumbo told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niagarafallsreporter.com\/Stories\/2014\/SEP02\/albion.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"gun-store-turns-records-new-york-state-police\" title=\"Gun store turns over records to New York state police\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Niagara Falls Reporter<\/a> that &#8220;there had been a plan to raid the gun shop with the SWAT Team, but the lead investigator felt it would be best to go in peacefully.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, an attorney representing the gun shop owner believes that his client may have been set up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy client disclosed to me that he would not have sold these rifles to the general public had they not been approved by the New York Division of State Police,&#8221; said James D. Tresmond.<\/p>\n<p>To that end, Ammoland reported that an informant within the state police released an email from New York State Police Division Counsel Kevin Bruen replying to a trooper&#8217;s inquiry about whether the rifles were legal to possess, to which Division Counsel said, &#8220;a court would have to rule on the legality of these rifles.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In other words, Division Councel had no idea whether the AR-15s with the bullet buttons were lawful under the SAFE Act. To answer that question the state would either need to wait for a lawsuit to present itself or bring charges against an individual selling and\/or possessing those rifles so that a court could render a decision.<\/p>\n<p>It goes without saying but if a law is that ambiguous it needs to be scrapped, as Palumbo&#8217;s attorney pointed out.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe New York S.A.F.E. Act is being enforced arbitrarily on a case by case basis,\u201d Tresmond said. \u201cThat amounts to unconstitutional vagueness under the Supreme Court\u2019s Morales standard, and the law should be enjoined for that reason alone.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under the threat of a possible SWAT team raid, a gun shop owner in Albion, New York, turned over sales records to the state police last Friday.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":24248,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7,216],"tags":[132,122],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-24247","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-gunsamerica-authors","8":"category-s-h-blannelberry","9":"tag-buzz","10":"tag-r2kba"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Gun store turns over records to New York state police<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Under the threat of a possible SWAT team raid, a gun shop owner in Albion, New York, turned over sales records to the state police last Friday.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/gun-store-turns-records-new-york-state-police\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Gun store turns over records to New York state police\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Under the threat of a possible SWAT team raid, a gun shop owner in Albion, New York, turned over sales records to the state police last Friday.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/gun-store-turns-records-new-york-state-police\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-09-03T18:20:58+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-08-18T00:33:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/09\/albion-gun-shop.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"400\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
