New York Attorney General Letitia James has initiated a lawsuit against Bowman’s Gun Shop in St. Lawrence County, alleging multiple violations of the state’s firearm safety laws. The suit claims the shop’s owner, Timothy Bowman, failed to secure firearms adequately, resulting in the theft of 58 guns during two separate break-ins, with the stolen weapons reportedly finding their way to cities as far away as New York City, Philadelphia, and even Barbados.
