Well chalk up another one for NYC Hear in NYC you need a purchase order for any handgun you want to buy and they are no longer giving them out for the t/c encore or contender. They are now illegal hear in NYC . do to the fact that the barrels and calibers can be changed . My local shop owner said he heard something to this nature and told me to check it out before i do any ordering. And i am glad i did. For you guys hear in NYC this comes fro m the purchase order dept iin NYPD headquarters at one police plaza. I spoke with the Sgt. in charge and there memo on the encore just came in with in the last two weeks. So no deer shooting for me in Dutchess county i guess i'll still have to hunt them.This is a big let down as i was really into getting the encore pistol. I will be writing alot of letters and sending alot of e-mails and hope many of you do the same. Maybe we'll get lucky and the rule could be changed sometime in the future.

tanoose, when did or does the law take effect.it could be the encore law would not affect current owners uner the grandfather clause. so maybe you still have time to get one before the law takes effect.

Yeah, I can understand how interchangeable barrels would make the Encore into a REALLY DANGEROUS weapon alright! It has probably become the CRIMINAL'S WEAPON OF CHOICE!! Oh well, its FOR THE CHILDREN!!

tanoose · « **Reply #4 on:** November 04, 2007, 08:07:17 AM »

Unfortunately its in affect already as you can't purchase a weapon with out a purchase order and they are no longer giving them out. And with NYC as far as the grandfather clause , it may not exsist as they can have all encore owners hand in there weapons. And as for the constition there not saying i cant get a weapon , just a particular type.

And another case of no common sense. Politicians and politically correct idiots getting into areas where they have no idea what happens in the real world. Good luck in your fight. gypsyman

Just another perk from Hilary Clinton moving into your state?

Hey guys, forget Guliani, the mayor of NYC is a very rich, very powerful, RINO, anti Second Amendment politician. I believe he will do anything to abolish the Second Amendment. Getting rid of Encores is just another step. However, the people like you and me are to blame for supporting those type politicians.

best, nrb

I think the people from the rural areas and small towns need to band together and form new states. Here in MN our metro area controls a greater portion of the politics. I have seen a few people in the rural areas starting to refuse permission to hunt on there land to people from the metro area. This is a start but more has to come from it. It aint Yanks verses Rebs, it's Urban verses rural.

LEO · « **Reply #17 on:** November 19, 2007, 05:45:03 AM »

billy 56081 you hit the nail on the head, can anybody explain to me why people move from urban areas to rural areas and then try to make the rural areas just like the area they left? It is one of lifes big mysteries. Of course the deal with the Encore has nothing to do with that it is just the anit-gun crowd trying to knock another hole in the second amendment. I can't imagine that an Encore is the weapon of choice for any violent criminal and who cares if you have 50 barrels for it you can only use one at a time and only one round at a time. But folks hold on because unless we band together and get away from this sporting vs nonsporting BS it is only going to get worse.

duh, bloomy was never really a repub he was a lib that changed over just so he could run. he is now back to the side he came over from.

I hope he runs for president. He would take the votes right out of the demo's side and give the race to the Repubs.

Dream on. In order to form a new state the people of the existing state and of the new states must approve the division. The urban areas have us by the short hairs and there is no way they intend to 'let our people go'.

If I am not mistaken, the pop of NYC is way more then the state's total pop. This is what will give you guys a good idea of what the likes of Hildabeast and her brethren want to do away with the Electoral College. This way large cities like NYC, Chicago and LA with large pops would trump small states in a presidential election. Al Bore would have won the 2000 election if that was the case!!!!!!!

And yes that moron mayor in NYC switched to the Republican party to so he could run for the mayor's office. He is a real piece of human excrement. I even think his mother hates him.

As to the Encore, was that for handgun or rifle configurations??? Here in Virginia, we have an exemption law. A city can't try to do an end run on state gun laws by trying to write a new, stronger law. We have a few law suits going on now for that situation. These idiots that will go to their graves trying to take our rights away. But I can assure you that these are the same bunch that would be crying for our help is it was needed.

This sets dangerous precedent as T/C s are not the only guns that can be converted by a barrel change. Many S/A pistols can and even for revolvers a cylinder change would alter the cartridge if not the caliber. I have changed barrels on bolt actions, all that is needed is something to clamp the barrel tightly.

Here comes the slippery slope.

Fellas - if you want to see how slippery that slope is already getting, add the encore restriction to what has just been posted on the NY website.

You will never be able to convince people there to do the right thing. I would say it is time to shake the dust off of your sandals & move on.
