NY, NJ, CT --(Ammoland.com)- Tune in tonight to the 11pm news on WCBS-TV (Channel 2) to see their report covering the rising trend of gun ownership, entitled “Who’s Packing Heat?”

ANJRPC President Scott Bach and Treasurer Anthony Colandro (also of the Gun For Hire training facility) were interviewed for this story, along with an ANJRPC range member. Some of the footage was taken at Cherry Ridge Range.

“Ok so here is the deal. CBS is doing a gun special Monday night at 11:00 pm after the weather called “Packing Heat” GFH Radio and Bach as well as a few others we know are in it.

Best part is they are running promos every hour or so and they will be running them during the Superbowl, maybe we will run next to King Mike’s anti gun commercial! Nice!” says Anthony Colandro.

CBS promoted this story all weekend long. It’s scheduled to air sometime during the 11 pm news.

A failed effort to to track shell casings in the interest of solving crimes appears to be heading to legislative repeal.

Since its inception in March 2001, a total 311,859 shell casings have been cataloged.

New York State Rifle and Pistol Association

Albany, NY --(Ammoland.com)- The New York State Rifle & Pistol Association said they applaud Governor Cuomo’s proposal to scrap the Combined Ballistic Identification System (CoBIS).

After collecting over 356,000 spent shell casings since March 2001 at an estimated cost of nearly $44 million, not a single crime has been solved because of the program, NYSRPA says.

“By any rational measure, CoBIS has been a total failure,” said NYSRPA President Tom King.

“What is astounding is that there are actually elected officials defending it. Only in Albany would you find people who think that a program which has run for more than 10 years without producing a single result is good public policy.”

The legislature can end the failed system by passing A-1131/S-459.

Assemblyman Kenneth Zebrowksi said, “Over the past few years I have had many meetings where people have called into question the effectiveness and cost of the CoBIS program. I plan on consulting with law enforcement during budget negotiations, however, my initial reaction is that it may be the time to end this program and seek alternative, more cost effective law enforcement tools.”

Assemblywoman Annie Rabbit said, “I fully support eliminating the failed COBIS program immediately. It has been a waste of precious taxpayer money.”
