What the hell has gone wrong with New York? Not just the city as is expected but upstate where real people live?
So Stolarczyk’s father either gave or left the handgun in question to his son. Under New York’s famously restrictive gun control laws, the son wasn’t required to undergo a background check to receive the handgun from his father. But he did need to have a pistol permit to legally own the firearm and have it registered in his name.
The pair had robbed him before so he had reason to be afraid. Let’s watch to see if they also charge him with homicide.
I hope someone is starting a defense fund for him. He’s gonna need it.
