He could have hurt someone if he had thrown those empty magazines at them. [:(!]

And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
He was a 10th MNT Division Warrant Officer stationed at Fort Drum, and the mags were in his military ruck-sac that was in his vehicle![:(!][:(!] Well,it's understandable then.He is not important like David Gregory.

Bio
Staff Sgt. Nathan Haddad is a well-traveled young man. He has completed tours in Korea, Iraq, Alaska, Arizona and New York. Most recently this Operation Iraqi Freedom Soldier' travels have focused on training for the Warrior Games.
"The Warrior Games are as close as I can get to fulfill a dream I have had since I was four," said Staff Sgt. Haddad as he checked the tension on his bow. "And, the training and exercises are similar to that of the physical therapy that I do for my injuries."
Staff Sgt. Haddad is scheduled to compete in archery (recurve open) and shooting (100M air rifle prone) at the Warrior Games. He is focused on his rigorous Warrior Games training routine. He devotes three hours daily to archery and three hours to marksmanship, usually followed by a run.
"I feel pretty confident on the fundamentals," he said. "I chose marksmanship and archery because those are my best two sports and the ones my injuries would allow me to do," he said. "My goal for archery is a top five finish and I think it is my strongest sport."
"I'm a fierce competitor and Warrior Games is a huge thrill for me," said Staff Sgt. Haddad. "I'm up for the challenge. I will do the best I can - if I wind up on top, great. If not, the opportunity to be in Warrior Games is enough."

I hope that idiot deputy gets busted to school crossing guard. [:(!]
All I know is in Texas, they have to have probable cause to pull you over. Of course, we still have the 4th Amendment down here. For now.
Could someone please explain to me what a "vehicle check" is?

In NY, they check for license, registration, insurance and high-cap magazines. [:(!]

I suspect it is something that keeps us safe. It is for our own good you see..........
I thought New Yorkers had a year to get rid of their mags?
We do but post-ban mags over 10 rounds are still illegal. That applies to pre-ban mags.
Excellent test case. Glad it was him.
Thats what Im thinking.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Ok...let me see if I am understanding this....if he had PRE BAN 30 round mags in his car, no problem, but because he had the far deadlier POST BAN mags, he is going to jail???? Pre ban and post ban both hold 30 rounds....but one is good and one is evil???? What a bunch of friggin idiots running that state.[:(!][xx(]
You got it. NY laws make as much sense as closed captions in a porn flick. [:(!]
Spider,.....still there I see![:o)][:)]
Fear not, amigo. The clock is ticking. [;)]
Now is the time for every soldier at FT. Drum to get a "convoy" of military trucks, jeeps, apc's, tanks to SLOWLY ride thru the jerk water town and stop all traffic for about 10 hours.
we dont have Jeeps, Apc's or tanks up here.
Intentional test case?
Will be hear Barack Obmama calling a beer summit? What a lame joke that was!
Will Joe Biden say "If I had a son he would look like ..."
Will this guy be a poster case?
Will protestors descend on this town?
Will Eric Holder put this guy in a prison cell next to some schmuck who made a youtube mohammad video?
Will there be cries for mercy to our king obama?
We always told guys do not go to canada with gear, and if you keep your gear in your trunk do not mix it with private weapons.
In the end kind of a stupid case, but the soldier made a bone head choice.
Lets see the cops put 10-15k people in jail
Or are they his Military issue mags? Should they be exempt?
It is one hysteria to the next, with the gov and media driving citizens to live in fear. God save us from our terror from within.
I am not sure what's going on with this. Are you saying he had pre ban mags over ten rounds that he should have disposed of long ago?
Or are they his Military issue mags? Should they be exempt?
He is no longer in the Army.
The mags are post 1994 ban and illegal by NY law. This has nothing to do with the current BS that is going on in this state.
NYS needs to have an uprising and blatantly walk openly with ARs with 30 rounders in them (bolts locked back and safed).
Lets see the cops put 10-15k people in jail
I would love to see that.[:D]
