New Jersey tries to thread the needle through arguing that aiding and abetting machine gun sales is illegal, Glock is liable because its guns can be too easily converted into machine guns, but gun stores aren't liable if they sell Glocks
🚨 ATTENTION NEW YORK GUN OWNERS: THE REAL FACTS ON THE NEW "GLOCK BAN" 🚨 Our phones have been ringing off the hook regarding the sudden passage of the New York State "convertible pistol" commercial ban, which was quietly tucked into the state budget package (S9005C) signed by Governor Hochul. There is a massive amount of rumor and bad information circulating online. As your trusted local shop, we want to cut through the noise and give you the EXACT LAW as it is written: 🔒 1. CAN YOU KEEP & CARRY THE GLOCK YOU CURRENTLY OWN? YES. The new law explicitly targets future commercial manufacturing, shipping, and sales. It DOES NOT criminalize, ban, or mandate the surrender of covered handguns that are already lawfully owned by licensed citizens. Your current firearms remain 100% legal to possess, carry, and use under your license. 🛒 2. WHAT IS THE ACTUAL TIMELINE FOR NEW SALES & INVENTORY? The state has implemented a hard 180-day countdown from passage. The enforcement cliff hits on NOVEMBER 23, 2026. Right Now: It is 100% business as usual. You can still purchase, and we can still legally order, stock, and transfer standard striker-fired pistols. The Cutoff: Once the November 23rd deadline hits, New York dealers will be legally barred from selling or transferring any newly ordered commercial stock of models listed by the State Police. ⚖️ 3. THE LEGAL BATTLE IS BREWING Because Albany used a back-door budget maneuver to force a flat commercial ban on the single most popular handgun platform in America, major national organizations—including the NSSF, NRA-ILA, and GOA—are already preparing immediate federal lawsuits on Second Amendment grounds. While the formal New York complaints are being finalized, a parallel federal lawsuit (NRA v. Moore) was just filed against Maryland's identical law. We expect aggressive requests for court injunctions here in NY long before the November deadline. THE BOTTOM LINE: Breathe. If you own a Glock in New York today, you are legal. If you want to acquire one before the hard November deadline hits, you can legally do so right now, and we are fully stocked and able to handle your transfers throughout the summer and fall. Have questions about a pending purchase or how this impacts your permit? Drop by the shop or give us a call. We're here to keep you informed! #2A #NY2A #NewYorkGuns #FFL #GlockBan #GunLawsUpdate #DefendTheSecond

"🪂 Pilot survival gear evolution — from WW1 open-cockpit bailouts to the F-15 ejection seats that just helped save our Airmen in Iran!
• WW1: M1903 Springfield + Colt M1911 .45 & M1917 revolvers carried on-person in flight gear
• WW2: M4 Survival Rifle (.22 Hornet) with its classic collapsible wire stock
• Vietnam: Jet Pilot Knife (canopy smasher) + S&W Model 15 .38 revolver worn on the flight suit
• Modern: GAU-5A 5.56 takedown rifle packed in ejection seats + Beretta M9 / Sig Sauer M18 pistols
Pistols stayed on the pilot for immediate defense after ejecting. Rifles waited in the seat kit until needed.
Huge congratulations to the USAF Pararescue Jumpers (PJs) and CSAR crews who just pulled off one of the most daring, complex rescue missions in recent U.S. history — safely extracting both downed F-15E crew members from deep behind enemy lines over the weekend.
Many of those elite “That Others May Live” warriors are based right here at the 106th Rescue Wing in Westhampton, NY. It’s an absolute honor having you as customers and friends at Baits & Barrels. You are true heroes — thank you for bringing our pilots home safe! 🇺🇸🪂
Which era’s gear would YOU want in a real bailout right now?
WW1 .45 | Vietnam .38 | Modern GAU-5A | Something else?

Our reply is due today at the district court in our Heeter v. James NY Body Armor Ban Lawsuit.
The case exposes the true goals of the state, and that is to leave you defenseless, desperate, and dependent.
Oral arguments have been scheduled at the Second Circuit in our lawsuit challenging New York City's stun gun ban for March 25th. You can learn more about the case here: https://t.co/VyoDRrfPcX
