I didn't see anything mentioned on this thus far so I feel the need to put this info out there to whom it may apply to. We all know the current new
legislation in NYS regarding gun laws and ammunition restrictions that go into effect next year in Jan. From the NYS site here is a snippet for your
consumption,
Q: Is there any background check required for purchasers of ammunition? A: No. The background check requirement does not take effect until January
15, 2014.

Ok so there it is in black and white, or blue black and white whatever. As of right now any store that sells ammunition IS NOT required to collect
info for background checks until the system is put in place or next January. So why is it that the gun stores here in my area at least, under
direction of the NYS police are requiring the following: Drivers License, Name, Address, Telephone number, Age, Occupation, among other info to
purchase ammo? If the law doesn't go into effect until next year and they don't have a system in place as of yet how can they demand this info? By
which they were just logging into some kind of registry book by hand. Not sure if we are allowed to list the actual store that I went to that did this
but I will refrain from posting that until a mod gives the go ahead, if anyone wants to know I can let them know via pm. So anyone else running into
this problem as well? To me I feel it is an invasion of privacy and cannot be assured it won't fall into the wrong hands because it's not recorded
in a monitored system like an example would be how they record other records at the state level, give me some feedback let me know if I am wrong on
how I feel. To sum it up the way they are doing it seems against the law to me. Thanks all for your input and time.
