The article I read this morning stated Police Commisioner Kelley came out and defended Augusto's actions as lawful self defense, and did not violate any NY statutes.
The left leaning, Bloomberg sucking, press are the ones that got things wrong about the permit. If asked the question "did he have a permit for this shotgun?" the answer is "no" ....because shotguns do not need a permit. Shotguns must be registered in NYC, and Augusto's shotgun was indeed registered. No charges here.
