Paul E Ester's JournalAttorney: SAFE Act Pulls Client's Pistol Permit due to Medication
The man turned in his guns, and now he is trying to get them back.
"He has seven pistols, and he is a target shooter, and he is a person who is engaged in competitions with his firearms," says attorney James Tresmond.
According to Tresmond, his client is a Western New York professional with no criminal record - not even a speeding ticket - who wishes to remain anonymous. He says the man received a letter dated April first telling him he must immediately surrender his seven handguns and pistol license to the Amherst Police Department.

Gun Gripes Episode 64: Ammo Availability
US Teargas Arrives İn Egypt For Muslim Brotherhood Use
Teargas canisters from the United States have been sold to Egypt, arriving on Sunday in the Abadeya port in Suez
A shipment of teargas canisters from the United States arrived at the Egyptian Abadeya Port in Suez on Sunday, according to official documents obtained by the Al-Masry Al-Youm newspaper.
Five containers carrying around 140,000 teargas canisters were apparently shipped to the Egyptian Interior Ministry by the Aramex International courier service.
The Egypt Independent reports that the shipping documents state that only the Egyptian government may use the canisters, and that they are forbidden to re-export the shipment or sell it to third parties.
The documents state that the shipment set sail from the port of Wilmington in Pennsylvania on 14 March on board the SS Jamestown. A letter of credit was forwarded without specifying the name of the bank. The Egyptian government paid the freight fees.
Witnesses: Man drove 90 mph with genitals hanging out the window
Three women testified against former Mount Carmel Vice-Mayor William Blakely, graphically recounting times he exposed himself while driving. News Channel 11 had the only reporter in court for Thursday's preliminary hearing in Kingsport.
"I was scared that I was gonna wreck, he was gonna cause me to wreck," witness Deborah Sturgill said.
"It seems that every victim would tell the same story. But I knew all the victims did not know each other," Kingsport Police Detective Terry Christian said.
Personal accounts in Thursday's testimonies started the same - Blakely allegedly waving to get the drivers' attention, then escalating to honking and partially crossing over into the drivers lane.

Carl Walker, 33, was charged with resisting arrest without violence and disorderly conduct.
The two men were collared by police after they apparently rushed a murder scene, crossing the yellow tape meant to keep onlookers from contaminating a crime investigation.
