Gun grabbing in the Nanny State

Man ordered to surrender permit, handguns
A Lockport man who found himself at the center of controversy two weeks ago when he was charged under an unpopular section of the SAFE Act, limiting ammunition in a magazine, has been ordered by a Niagara County judge to hand over his pistol permit and all his handguns.
Paul A. Wojdan, 26, of Parkwood Drive, was a passenger in a vehicle pulled over by Lockport police Oct. 12, when he was charged after surrendering a loaded semiautomatic handgun in a holster retrieved from the glove compartment.
Although the gun was legal, the ammunition wasn�t. He had 10 rounds of 9 mm ammunition in the magazine, violating the new law, which limits a magazine to seven rounds. He was charged with unlawful possession of an ammunition feeding device, a misdemeanor.
Last weekend, Niagara County sheriff�s deputies were sent to Wojdan�s home to confiscate his pistol permit and handguns.
Wojdan told deputies he had received a �notice of objection� from the Niagara County Pistol Permit Office. Handguns seized included a Glock 9 mm pistol, a Walther .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol, a Springfield 40-caliber semiautomatic pistol, a GSG .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol and an Iver Johnson .22-caliber semiautomatic pistol.
Of course, NY State offers no way to reduce the capacity of the magazines (a plug or bolt); they pass an arbitrary law and expect everyone to know about it and to act on it.
