“A process server working for a local investigations firm claims that Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz warned her to get off his property or he would shoot her, when she went to his home to serve papers on him as apart of a lawsuit … According to the Affidavit of Service filed with the New York State Supreme Court, Williams attests that she had tried unsuccessfully on three occasions to serve Poloncarz at his Delaware Avenue home and at one other address in the City of Buffalo. Then, on January 29 at 4:10 pm she writes, After knocking on the front door several times with no answer (some as previous attempts) I noticed that the laundry was going and decided to see if there was another door on the side of the house. I noticed a shared driveway to the left of the residence and there was a red SUV parked behind the defendants’ residence near a rear door. Upon knocking on the rear door I saw Mr. Poloncarz inside his kitchen area and he yelled “you’re lucky you didn’t get shot” to me through the window. I asked “why would I get shot? I have a summons for you” and lifted up the large packet of papers I had in my hand so that he could see them. He then told me that “the sheriffs just left and they are on their way back” so I asked if he wanted me to wait for them. He then told me I was trespassing and said “get the f*&% off my property before I shoot you!” At that time I left the papers at his back door and departed the area.” …”

… There have been many unfortunate firearm accidents across the state and country …
“This week, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz vetoed a local law that would have allowed 12- and 13-year-old children to legally hunt deer with firearms, including rifles and shotguns … “While Local Law Intro. No. 1-1-2021 acknowledges hunting as a valued tradition for many families, it remains silent on the inherent danger of expanding firearm access for our youth,” Poloncarz said in his veto memo. “This expansion comes at a time when there have been many unfortunate firearm hunting accidents across the state and country, especially those involving youth hunters.” The county executive said there have recently been multiple hunting related shooting incidents across the state, including two involving children aunder the age of 13. Proponents of the law argue those cases involved children who were not properly trained and licensed and the pilot program is meant to avoid those instances.
