State Troopers Demand Gun Shop Customer List, Threaten With Warrant-less SWAT Team Raid

By Ammoland

Joseph Palumbo, co-owner of the Albion Gun Shop, released information today that New York State Police officers from the Narcotics Enforcement Unit demanded the shop’s release of all customers who purchased New York SAFE Act compliant rifles under threat of a warrantless SWAT Team Raid.

Since the passing of the New York Secure Ammunition and Firearms Enforcement (S.A.F.E.) Act, the New York State Troopers Narcotics Enforcement Unit has been delegated to enforce the S.A.F.E. Act and to handle all matters pertaining to the S.A.F.E. Act.

This unit has visited Mr. Palumbo on several occasions, disrupting his business, to see that Mr. Palumbo is compliant with the S.A.F.E. act provisions for licensed gun shops owners.

“The New York State Police told me that my guns were NY S.A.F.E. compliant. The chief of the Medina police told me my rifles were NY S.A.F.E. compliant and in fact purchased one of the guns from my shop.” James D. Tresmond, attorney for the Albion Gun Shop, raised the possibility of entrapment. “My client disclosed to me that he would not have sold these rifles to the general public had they not been approved by the New York Division of State Police”

  2. The headline references the threat of a warrant-less raid, but there is no specific mention of it in the article???

    Makes me wonder what the source of the threat might have been—an offhand comment, or something more specific?

  4. The black book must be kept & maintained even after FFL lapses. It must be produced for BATFE agents at any time w/o a warrant. It is illegal under serveral federal statutes to share this info w/o a warrant. All of this can be found at the BATFE website under FFL faq’s. If the story is true they were threatening to swat him IF he didn’t commit a federal FFL felony (which all start @ 10 years + $10k fines). The officer in charge needs to be charged with multiple felonies if the story is true.

  6. Sounds like the lead investigator might have a little sense.

    But there is no reference to a “warrant-less” raid, just SWAT raid…

    There would be no reason to raid without a warrant, since they had plenty of time to get one and it was an administrative thing they were investigating, not a crime-in-progress.

  7. Zhytamyr, I infer from reading the article that dah bronx linked to that they were requesting records pertaining to sales of a specific class of weapon under NYState law and not BATF required records. Presumably he can comply with both.

    I agree that the state law is utter bullshit and shouldn’t be tolerated by a free people, but the citizens of New York have to make that decision.

  11. Obama please! I may be mistaken but I believe that it’s illegal to have records of your sales other than the BATFE sales records for the same reason as it is a violation to keep two DOT mileage records- you’re keeping 2 sets of books. Moreover, fed legislation forbids sharing the sales info. The SAFE act can forbid sales of certain types of items (even though that’s clearly unconstitutional) but cannot override fed gun laws regarding FFL’s and the ’68 GCA. Again, this is as I understand it, & may very well be incorrect.
