Saturday could have been the last Spring gun raffle for the Jamison Road Volunteer Fire Company. That's because the New York State Assembly has proposed a bill (A01413) that would prohibit organizations from hosting gun raffles. Jamison Road Fire Company hosts two gun raffles per year, one in the Spring and the other in the Fall. They are the fire hall's main fundraising events, bringing in more than $30,000 per year equal to 12 percent of the company's operating costs. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
