(Albany Times Union) A Stephentown man will give up his firearms in the first case to be resolved through New York’s “red flag” law, which took effect last month.
The law allows firearms to be taken away for a year from individuals who are legally determined to be extreme risks to themselves or others.
Robert King, a contractor in the eastern Rensselaer County town, relinquished a pistol and more than a half-dozen rifles during an appearance in front of state Supreme Court Justice Patrick McGrath at the Rensselaer County Courthouse.
