Dear Senator/Congressman/Congresswoman:

A major flaw exists in the New York Safe Act and in the Penal Code of New York that has not been previously acknowledged and which requires immediate attention. This flaw involves bequests of firearms. Present New York law undermines a person’s fundamental right of ownership in his own private property because it defeats the ability of a New York gun owner and testator to effectively transfer firearms to the testator’s New York resident heirs.

We have written to each member of the New York State Legislature, and to the New York Governor, Andrew M. Cuomo, and to officials within the Governor’s administration, bringing this critical matter to their attention.

We are urging the New York Legislature to amend New York Law to allow bequests of firearms to be honored and fulfilled in strict accordance with the wishes of a testator.

Only then will the fundamental right in and to one’s private property be preserved. We ask for your full support in this endeavor. Thank you very much for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,

Stephen L. D’Andrilli
President, Arbalest Group, LLC.
