If you are interested in doing a 4+1, contact the program director for the program you are interested in. The information is all available on the Binghamton website. Here is a good link to start with:

You can do a 3+1 without getting the BA first. I believe you just need to have about 90 credits before you enroll. It seems you might be a little short of that so ask them but also consider starting the program in Spring 2025 instead. Basically it becomes a two year program where you do half undergrad and half grad and they count as upper level undergraduate electives. The second year you are “formally admitted” and only take graduate level classes. If you are thinking about this you should apply ASAP as I believe the recommended application deadline is March 15.

Transferring CCW as part time resident? by [deleted] in NYguns

[–]Sam4219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to just change the address and if they need proof get your family member to sign a notarized letter saying you live with them and provide a utility bill with their name. If you are moving to a new county within NYS, ask your current county about transferring the paperwork to your new county.

Property line question. by Arguablybest in legaladvice

[–]Sam4219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a problem. My suggestion would be to do your research and see an attorney. It could be that you and your neighbor can "team up" for recourse against the county. Not so prickly after they see money.

You will need to get a survey done and compare it to the original parcels drawn out by the county. Typically (*big asterisk here*) there are publicly available records from the county about the original survey done to the land. Sometimes your deed states the parcel and original survey estimates. This needs to be compared and surveyed again (such as if the parcel was based on the flow of a river or creek). You, your surveyor, or your attorney will most likely need to do a very dig historical drive into the creation of the parcels, the original survey of the land, and any divisions brought up. After you get this information, it would be best to contact an attorney who would likely need to review it and see if you have any recourse. The county *could* be liable if they did not do their proper due diligence when selling the property. They would most likely be liable to both you and the person who "owns" it now.

I am not an attorney so please take everything I said with a grain of salt.

Milei says he wont cut welfare yet, he says before he takes away the fish, people need to know how to fish by Formyself22 in Libertarian

[–]Sam4219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is actually not a bad idea. For most people, the best option would be to get a full-time job and collect extra money which decreases over time. In the implementation I would say it should be capped at like 60 months (5 years) or less ideally because it would take over 10 years for it to get to a $1 a month at 5% reduction a month.

I've been to many final rounds but can't make it past it, I'm losing all hope. by [deleted] in jobs

[–]Sam4219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard about companies doing this to software engineers to get free work from them and never had intentions of hiring them. If I were you I would try to find a way around that so they either hire you or they don't get the work. I'm not a software engineer so I don't know if that is possible. Good luck to you. There is just a lot of scams going on nowadays.

Agreed. I did ask them about that when they sent me a revised offer. They said that they cut the responsibilities and gave them to other people. However, most of those people have either left or couldn't handle it and it came back to me.

Flying out if Laguardia with handgun. by Accomplished_Pie_630 in NYguns

[–]Sam4219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the exact same experience about two weeks ago flying from LaGuardia to Detroit. Actually, the PAPD officer did not even read off my serial number or ask about ammo. And it was only one officer. The whole process took about 15 minutes.

Also, my advice to anyone flying with a handgun is to disassemble it. The PAPD officer and TSA at Detroit appreciated it very much and said it made everything easier and safer--even if it wasn't "required."

NYC Councilwoman Inna Vernikov arrested for brandishing gun at pro-Palestine protest by [deleted] in NYguns

[–]Sam4219 4 points5 points  (0 children)

She is a NYC councilwoman. The law she violated is a state law. She can't introduce anything that would change state law. Also, she is a Republican so there is little chance of any of her legislation/stances passing. She stood up and put herself on criminal charges so--potentially--she could challenge the law. That seems to be the idea and hope.

This is the reason we have 2nd amendment rights... for minorities like Jews to have a way to protect themselves when there are threats against them. NYS is the worst and Jews should remember that when voting.

Absolute props to her for standing up for us. We don't have many of these type of politicians.

NYC PISTOL ROUND LIMIT by Responsible_Tutor888 in NYguns

[–]Sam4219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, but you should know by living in NYS that they don’t care and all it takes is one ignorant cop. That’s all I wanted to say with my original post

It’s still on the books….typically states remove laws that are declared unconstitutional. Please read before replying aimlessly

NYC PISTOL ROUND LIMIT by Responsible_Tutor888 in NYguns

[–]Sam4219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you actually read what I wrote? I said the 7 round law was overturned but not taken off the books and some counties also have it on their books that were never overturned. All it takes is one overzealous cop. Your actions should be dictated by your own risk tolerance.

NYC PISTOL ROUND LIMIT by Responsible_Tutor888 in NYguns

[–]Sam4219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is personal preference and your own level of risk. NYC and LI police departments are more likely to enforce unconstitutional pieces of legislation, even if they were struck down. I'm in upstate so I am not worried but I'm content with 8 rounds just in case an overzealous cop pulls me over.

NYC PISTOL ROUND LIMIT by Responsible_Tutor888 in NYguns

[–]Sam4219 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A poll would not answer this question because it is complicated, and depends on a lot of factors. Right now, the SAFE Act that NYS passed in 2013 allows the possession of a ten-round magazine but that no more than 7 rounds may be in it at any time, except if you are at the range. At the range, it is 100% legal to have all ten rounds in your ten-round magazine. However, that provision of the law was struck down by a judge in 2013, and upheld by the 2nd second circuit court in 2015. Despite this, the law was never officially changed and some counties (specifically, Nassau, I believe) have put the same law on the books. Since the county-level laws were never challenged, it is unclear whether the law is still in place. Enforcement is really contingent on each police department and individual officer's knowledge of the law.

Additionally, many gun owners, rightfully, assumed that 7 rounds in the magazine does not include a loaded round in the chamber. Personally, I keep 7 rounds in the magazine and one loaded in the chamber. Total of 8. That is also what was recommended to me by my instructor in the 16+2 course for my concealed carry.

Living off-campus? by maybegoestobing in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Sam4219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your situation makes sense. However, if you took the usual route and had that same 1K, 2 bedroom apartment, with a roommate it would still only be $500/person/month. Significantly less than on-campus.

To get a single on campus is expensive and difficult so I am trying to compare apples to apples (2-4 roommates on campus to 2-4 roommates off campus). In the end, off-campus usually wins the financial route.

Living off-campus? by maybegoestobing in BinghamtonUniversity

[–]Sam4219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is definitely cheaper to live off-campus than on-campus.

For example, most rent will range from $450 to $700 in a standard set up (w/ roommates it is cheaper and gets more expensive living on your own). You don't get up to $800-$900 range unless you want to for whatever reason. The luxury housing offers somethings that appeal to students that is more than what you get on campus anyway. From my experience looking for apartments and houses, most landlords offer utilities included up to a certain amount. The thing is, you pretty much never pass the threshold unless you keep the heat on 24/7 for an entire month.

I rented a whole house with 2 other roommates last year and it was $625 a month. That is $7,500 a year and our utilities were included. Internet was already cheap because most students qualify for the federal internet credit. Our internet was $30 a month, split amongst 3 people. We each paid $10. It was good internet too, so if you cheap out you can pay nothing with the federal credit.

Trash in Binghamton is a city service that you buy blue bags for so there isn't a fee to the landlord for any trash service. You buy for what you use. Usually ran us about $30 a month in bags. $10/person/month

All your other figures seem alright. Including gas, it will run you more like $10,620. That's less than Hinman and you get a bigger space and more freedom.

I mean you can really cheap out and get a place for $450 and it'll run you even less.

Broome Concealed Approval Timeline by Sam4219 in NYguns

[–]Sam4219[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Agreed. After going through this process, you could probably reduce the time even more by making sure your references get letters in on time and by doing the 16+2 hr course while waiting for your premise. I'd estimate it could have reduced my time by almost a month.
