The New York Police Department’s Emergency Rule Now Allows Non-Residents To Apply For Concealed Carry Permits (Guest: Stephen Willeford)

by

The spokesman for the Gun Owners of America explains why this is a huge victory, though he’s not sure how New York officials will retaliate. Earlier this year, the Gun Owners of America, alongside Newsmax TV host Carl Higbie), filed a lawsuit in the Northern District of New York, believing the state’s blanket ban on out-of-state residents attempting to obtain a concealed carry permit was unfair. As a result, the New York Police Department (NYPD) have responded … Read more

The New York Police Department Will Now Allow Anyone Nationwide To Apply For an Open Carry License

by

A spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation explains why this is such a big win for private gun owners. In response to a lawsuit filed by Carl Higbie, the New York Police Department (NYPD) have apparently allowed for anyone – not just residents of New York – to file for an open-carry license. The “emergency rule” was passed down this past Friday, noting no formal procedures for applicants. “A process by which non-State residents can apply … Read more

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts believes Young needs to take action before his city falls into chaos. We’ve talked about New York police facing turmoil in the past, most notably when Mayor Eric Adams cut off the hiring of new officers on the force while he deals with the ongoing migrant crisis. But as a result, the current NYPD officers on duty are facing unbelievable turmoil. Per this report from the New York Post, assaults on police … Read more

Want to Join the Force? Beleaguered Police Now Brutally Attacked (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in NewsMax.) Who would want to be a police officer in New York City?  While that role has never been easy, judging by the numbers, not too many people — especially now. Not only is the NYPD having to answer more calls with fewer people, few people in both the city government and residents seem to support them. It’s gotten so bad that according to the New York Post, “City cops are getting beaten at a record-setting … Read more

The Times Square Shooting Incident Just Took Away New York Officials’ “Sensitive Area” Gun Ban Argument

by

A Second Amendment Foundation spokesman explains why Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul no longer have a leg to stand on. In the face of a Times Square shooting that left a female shopper wounded (with the suspect being arrested hours later), the idea of New York’s “sensitive area” gun ban to prevent violent crime has now come into serious question. Despite the law being in place, the suspect had no problem firing a … Read more

NYPD Officers Just Got Attacked By Migrants, So Why Isn’t Mayor Eric Adams Speaking More About It?

According to Fox News, several illegal migrants took part in attacking two police officers, right in the heart of Times Square. … Read more

NYC blames illegal immigrants for its crime problem (By Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in American Thinker.) It’s interesting how much Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams sounds like a Republican when he talks about the effects of illegal immigration on his city.  Unfortunately, he still sounds like a leftist when talking about how to deal with the problem. Recently, he did it in such a way that if he had been a white Republican, he would have been publicly crucified. During a news conference where he … Read more

InVest USA Looking To Push New York Police Department Morale With Vest Donations

How Much Worse Will Things Get For New York In 2024? (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

The law enforcement veteran discusses the collapsing state of the iconic city, including the government’s refusal to hire more police officers. New York has seen finer days.

The Departure of Over 2,500 Police Officers Should Be a Resounding Call To Action For New York Government (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts wonders what Gov. Kathy Hochul and her team will do to recover from the catastrophic loss. Per a disturbing new report from the New York Post, it’s been revealed that over 2,500 police officers have left the New York Police Department for the year, with more likely to depart before 2024 rolls around. What’s even more concerning is that over 1,000 of those officers actually quit before they became eligible … Read more

by

Undercover detectives are being forced to put on police uniforms to become ‘beat cops’ for political photo ops that effectively blows their cover, potentially ruining years long undercover investigations, just to ‘protect’ our nation from Trump loyalists.

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts believes the city needs to take care of its police force – while there’s still one around.

A report from the New York Post reveals that police officers are resigning at a record pace. The report notes that … Read more

2023 Started Off On the Wrong Foot For This Rookie Officer (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in Front Page Magazine.) Struck by a machete ….. How did the Jihadist who swung it get into our country to begin with?

by

New York still has yet to apologize to the thousands it fired following the start of the pandemic, according to the law enforcement veteran.

Earlier this week, DeSantis called on state lawmakers to continue penalizing companies that require employees to take COVID-19 precautions, including taking a … Read more

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Couldn’t Be More Wrong About New York Police – More Does Not Mean Less (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally published in the Intellectual Conservative.) When it comes to saving face during an important period of time – like, for example, Election Day – most politicians might say anything to save face. That said, I can’t quite figure out what Democratic New York representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was coming from with her latest comments.  Ocasio-Cortez, or “AOC” as she’s known in some circles, stopped by the “Breakfast Club” radio show on Tuesday, as people were … Read more

Mayor Eric Adams’ Forced Mental Health Evaluation Policy Is Leading To Hundreds of Complaints – and Doesn’t Help the NYPD’s Continued Search For Help (Guest: Michael Letts)

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why a change is needed in New York, now more than ever. In an effort to calm the growing erratic citizens of New York City, Mayor Eric Adams has instituted a new policy that would allow emergency responders to transport people to hospitals for mental illness evaluations, even if it’s against their will. But as a result of this new policy, two new problems have emerged. The first is … Read more

Disarray Will Never Keep NYPD at Full Strength (By: Michael Letts)

by

(Originally appeared in NewsMax.) Last month, the New York Post published a story discussing the fallout surrounding Gotham’s police department, and how, by the end of the year, it could very well lose over 4,000 officers. The sad part is that a great deal of these losses are completely unnecessary. As for the reasoning, the Post’s article kept it simple, yet hard to swallow, “For New York’s Finest, surging crime, bail reform, anti-cop hostility, the … Read more

by

Law enforcement veteran Michael Letts explains why a change is direly needed in terms of how the NYPD is run. With crime rising to unstoppable levels in some cities, one would think that things couldn’t get worse for the state of some police departments. However, that isn’t the case for New York. In a report previously filed on the National Police website, retired officer Steve Pomper discusses the state of the New York Police Department, and how … Read more

A Federal Judge Has Stopped Gov. Hochul’s Strict New York Gun Laws – But How Long Will It Last? (Guest: Second Amendment)

by

New York Governor Kathy Hochul was just celebrating the newly implemented gun laws for her state, following the Supreme Court’s overturning of restrictive local gun licensing requirements earlier in the summer. However, that victory has been cut short by a recent court decision.

In addition, … Read more

by

Originally appeared on WND. The neglect of our fellow police officers by the U.S. government has been ongoing for some time.
