And it's certainly not unique to New York.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/12/20/extra_extra_1099.php#comment-1547997 http://gothamist.com/2008/12/20/extra_extra_1099.php#comment-1547997 Comments Sat, 20 Dec 2008 21:19:52 -0500 <p>Well that's just assinine. Good thing I don't play with weapons, but if I did and had an accident with it I guess I wouldn't report it in NYS. I'd be driving myself or my wife across the border to Jersey or Connecticut or somewhere that didn't have crazy laws like we have here. "Criminal" negligence would suggest criminal intent wouldn't it?</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/12/20/extra_extra_1099.php#comment-1547981 http://gothamist.com/2008/12/20/extra_extra_1099.php#comment-1547981 Comments Sat, 20 Dec 2008 20:19:39 -0500 <p>"they don't charge you with misdeamenor assault if its an accident." Yes "they" do. Third degree assault in NYS is the charge in cases of criminal negligence which causes physical injury by means of a deadly weapon, or in cases involving recklessly causing physical injury. Depending on what happened before the shooting at least one of those would apply.</p> http://gothamist.com/2008/12/20/extra_extra_1099.php#comment-1547977 http://gothamist.com/2008/12/20/extra_extra_1099.php#comment-1547977 Comments Sat, 20 Dec 2008 20:01:41 -0500 <p>Um, they don't charge you with misdeamenor assault if its an accident. Theres more to the gun story thans being told</p>
