One of the candidates while professing his belief in the Second Amendment actually voted for the SAFE Act after promising constituents and supporters he would oppose that heinous legislation. For those reasons and his lack of law enforcement experience we find him unsuitable for this position. Conversely, Fred Sales, has a nearly a four decade long law enforcement career, Thirty-two years as a Suffolk County police officer and six years as a New York City corrections officer. Equally as important he spent fifteen years as the Suffolk’s PBA liaison to the state legislators in Albany. Mr. Sales vast experience and strong Second Amendment beliefs make him our candidate of choice for Suffolk County Sheriff. Sincerely, Thomas H....

Members, It has come to our attention that a number of MidwayUSA customers were notified that Midway could no longer ship primers or powders to Upstate New York.
