Quoted: Catt county is there, sweet. Im sure Allegany county will be soon. not that anyone pays much attention to us out here in the sticks. The mayor of Ilion, NY got it right in the WNET video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Du18bwez2w when she said "Downstaters and Albany, a lot of them, didn't seem to care about the people's future in this area. And, frankly I don't believe that they care too much about anyone above Westchester County.". Time marker 1:43. |

So if the pendings pass that is almost half of the counties..there is 62 I think.

Anyone heard any news from Niagara co yet? I haven't and don't expect to but I am patiently awaiting their jump to the bandwagon. A "repeal the safe act" resolution is on the agenda for the 2/19/13 meeting of the Niagara County Legislature. |

All you guys in Monroe County the word is at the NY firearms site is that Monroe County is not hearing much opposition from the residents. I don't know how much of this is true but we need to put on the pressure. Here is a link to the post, it has contact info on it as well.

Updates:
Added Niagara County to the pending list. Oswego County passed their resolution!!! Ontario County adopted John Sheppard's anti-safe amendment to their resolution, but the final vote has been postponed. Will add new vote date when it becomes available. |

We have to get Saratoga County on board with a resolution.
Everyone from Saratoga county, let's get busy and apply some pressure. |

Hey Jed...it was good seeing you at the meeting tonight.
According to the Ontario County website, the next board meeting will be on March 7th. http://www.co.ontario.ny.us/calendar.aspx?CID=22 |

Quoted:
Add Delaware County to the list. They are going to have the resolution ready by Feb 27th. Unsure what date it will be voted on though. I'm surprised they haven't acted sooner. I've been hearing rumors about Beckers silent anti-gun stance for about a year now, and since he won the last election he has become much stricter. One of my friends got denied his permit last week for a typo in his application!! They said to refile it and it will get processed, but I really don't see how you deny over something like that. He must be putting on some kind of show to the higher ups. |

My county of Greene meets this coming Tuesday. I plan on calling and e-mailing my legislators for the next few days. I also am getting a bunch of other people to do the same. Can we attend these meetings?

I LOVE this thread. 19 counties passed repeal resolutions, with 12 more counties pending for a total of 31 of NY's 62 counties 50% ain't bad ~one month after the law was passed!
|

It was good to see some of you guys at the meeting last night. I'll be at the next one too. Let's see if we can get even more people there. Thanks P400 for this thread, it was good to meet you. You too PVC1984.

Folks from the other counties need to pound their county legislatures with calls and emails to get them on board. We have momentum now and need to keep it up. Every little bit will help our cause.

Here is some proof and link for delaware county
The article also mentions other counties that may or may not be on the list already http://thedailystar.com/localnews/x1525014217/Local-ire-for-gun-law-crosses-aisle The Delaware County Board of Supervisors plans to consider a similar resolution Feb. 27, said its chairman, Harpersfield Town Supervisor James Eisel. "This happened in the dead of night in Albany, and I believe it is an abuse of power," Eisel told The Daily Star. "Our law enforcement community is very upset with this. There are a lot of people up in arms. They are taking away our rights under the Second Amendment." Eisel said many of the nationally publicized massacres involving the use of guns resulted from the actions of "people who are schizophrenic or have other mental problems. I strongly believe we have to set dollars aside for mental health clinics. That is where we should go if we want to resolve this issue." |

We got a few for the list out of that one. It talks about the Otsego County resolution but it isn't clear if it passed a final vote. I'll have to look into that more when I have time. Unless anyone knows for sure? eta: Found it. Otsego will vote on March 6th. Board to vote on plea for gun law's repeal |

Oswego passed a resolution, Jefferson and Monroe are talking about it. But this law is something that Bloomberg and Cuomo want and they don't give a shit about what anyone upstate thinks

Got this off NYFirearms....
Oneida county opposed safe act 18-11 On Wed, 13 Feb. the Oneida County Legsilature passed a resolution opposing the SAFE ACT. This was not acomplished without much heated discussion with 16 Republicans and 2 Democrates voting to pass the resolution. The 11 no votes were Democrates. The following quote by one of the 11 no vote Democrates was "I voted not to support the resolution because we didn't have enough time to study it." |

CATSKILL, NY. — Greene County lawmakers are considering a resolution that would oppose the state’s new gun control law, the SAFE Act, as well as one opposing a state Assembly bill that would require gun owners to carry liability insurance.
The county Legislature’s Public Safety Committee is to hold a special meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday in the county office building on Main Street in the village of Catskill. On the agenda will be a resolution that opposes New York’s Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act, which was adopted by the state Legislature on Jan. 19 and signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Also on the agenda will be a resolution to oppose a bill that calls for requiring gun owners to carry liability insurance of no less than $1 million. If the resolutions are adopted by the committee, they would go to the full Legislature for approval the next day. |

Add Suffolk county...
From: [email protected] Subject: RE: NY SAFE Act I support the second amendment. I do not support the process used to pass the recent gun legislation in NYS and I do not support the majority of the legislation itself. Please feel to call my secretary at 631 852 2205 if you would like to set up an appointment to discuss this important issue further. Vince |

Added Oneida County - awesome.
Livingston and Oswego are on the list. Will add Monroe as a possibility. TokiWartooth - Is the Suffolk legislature considering a resolution? ETA: The Schoharie County resolution passed today! Schoharie County opposes NY SAFE Act |

Looks like Putnam County just came into the fold. From the PostStar, one hour ago:
"The county resolution in opposition the NY Safe Act and Cuomo’s message of necessity passed by a 14-2 vote, with Putnam Supervisor John LaPointe absent." http://poststar.com/news/local/68d75d24-77a6-11e2-b537-0019bb2963f4.html |

More info on the Ulster County resolution - The final vote will be on Tuesday, Feb 19th
Several articles (like this one) have made it sound as if Ulster County has already passed their resolution. Upon closer examination, this does not appear to be the case. The final vote will be on the 19th. Ulster County - Resolution to repeal the Safe Act in NY This article appears to be encouraging people who SUPPORT the SAFE act to attend and object to the resolution. If the article is correct, the hearing has also been moved to a venue that will accommodate more people. In Ulster County, NY on Tuesday Feb 19th at 7P there will be a hearing on a Resolution to Repeal the Safe Act (Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement Act of 2013). The hearing in Ulster has been moved to the Ulster Performing Arts Center located at 601 Broadway in Kingston NY which has a 1500 seat capacity. It sounds like our side needs a strong showing in Kingston on the 19th. The OP will be updated to reflect this. I'm trying to keep the list as accurate as possible and apologize for any confusion regarding Ulster County. ETA: Official County Notice regarding location change |
