"We recently started a program where we're cross referencing all the pistol permit holders with the death records, and we're sending people out to collect the guns whenever possible so that they don't end up in the wrong hands," said Police Commissioner Daniel Derrenda." Because at times they lay out there and the family is not aware of them and they end up just out on the street."
Some police agencies give families of the deceased permit holder 15 days to sell or transfer a weapon or weapons held with the permit to another permit holder or a dealer.

15 days? Most probates aren't resolved in that time and assuredly once it can be established Person X is legally entitled to dispose of property for Decedent Y the police will more than likely exhaust the balance of the 15 days as an excuse to steal property from innocent people.
But don't call it gun grabbing.

More evidence, as if more were needed, that when an anti-gun loon says "guns off the street", they really mean "guns out of your possession".

Will you ignore this "reality", like you accuse "gunners" of doing, and prove to everyone that sees, that you're engaging in projection?

(19,497 posts)It takes longer than that just to determine who is entitled to dispose of the decedent's property and then the pigs will drag it out even longer to fabricate a pretext to steal.

(6,613 posts)... it's important in New York State to cross-register your handguns with a family member. Then the police have no right to take them in the event of your death.
By the way, this has always been the law. It just hasn't been enforced. Pistol permit data has never been updated either. When some "crusading journalist" got the brilliant idea to put the entire database online a few years ago, Eleanor Roosevelt was still on the list.
