I wonder if the author is confusing shall issue concealed carry licenses in PA and FL with simple ownership permits in NY?
And the people are beginning to realize it is happening to them.
Why are permits even needed.
I know people in Steuben county, NY, and they said when they went for their pistol permits, the lady who waited on them said the place has been extremely busy this year. They've never seen so many people.
In my opinion, people know things without being able to logically explain how they "Just know." People are preparing for....something. They can sense it.
This story is a crock.
NY is one of the worst when it comes to exercising a RIGHT.
1. You must go to your local sheriff office on Tuesday or Thursday ONLY between 9 and 11 AM and pick up a package
2. You must get 4 affidavits signed by friends of yours which asks questions that invite them to say things against you. Each of these people must sign and mail from their own hand...you may not collect them and bring them in they must go by mail. The package is reviewed by the Sheriff’s office and then sent together to the Judges office.
3. You must pay for a Drivers Rip from the DMV of NY and send it in.
4. You must get fingerprinted 5 times and send all cards in.
5. You must answer a questionnaire much like the ones your friends did.
6. You must get a Postal Money Order for $74.00 as it is the ONLY form of payment, money is not legal tender in this case and a bank or personal check will not be accepted.
7. Once all items are collected they are to be sent in for review. That review does not start until the 4 questionnaires sent in are all there. THEN this is all reviewed together and recommendation is sent with all of it to a judge.
8. That Judge THEN gets to take 5 months and 29 days to issue or decline. If declined he or she must give you the reason in writing.
Problems: Many
1. If you use personal protection as a reason the judges many times DECLINE you saying you do not have a need regardless of the law clearly not allowing them to do so. The judges often put “For target and hunting only” on the outer portion of the permit though there is no provision in the law to do so. They back each other up on this if it is challenged. Other judges cite “precedent” which is a liberal leftists favorite thing because it skirts the will of the people and the intent of the laws they get passed.
2. If something is missing the Sheriff does not tell you as they are NOT required. It could sit for years.
3. You may be required to come in for an interview…that is BS as they have nothing in the law requiring it or saying they can but a judge simply says it is a “reasonable” request.
NY is a police state when it comes to this RIGHT…It is NOT a right in that state no matter what you are told. Many people have judges come to them by way of the sheriff’s office to take your guns if you have any kind of case against you. That is an assumption of guilt borne out of singular cases where someone did use their gun in an act of passion so all of us get painted with this “reasonable” line of garbage.
The people of the county are simple exercising their right and many more people have moved into that county and thus it is “reasonable” that there is an up-tic in the number of applications to beg the master for a pre-existing right.
New York and Rhode Island are two states that absolutely will not issue an LTC to anyone who lives in another state, has a permit, and wants to go to either state on occasion. I do not go to or do any business with either state.
Just try and get a permit to OWN a pistol in any of the New York Metropolitan Area counties (NYMA). It ain’t happening unless you know the judge or are related to a town official.
All this is contingent on the judge in your county. There are NO PUBLISHED RULES advising applicants. It is different from county to county and judge to judge. One of the many reasons why people and businesses have been fleeing NY for any years.
BTW, most state officials ar packin’. But you can’t. Feds too, including anti-gun zealot Sen Up Chuck Chucky.

NY police chief: bomb suspect bought gun in Conn.

WASHINGTON — New York’s police commissioner says Times Square bomb suspect Faisal Shahzad purchased a gun in Connecticut in March.
Commissioner Raymond Kelly told a Senate hearing Wednesday that Shahzad took the gun with him when he drove to the airport to board a flight to Dubai.
Kelly and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg told the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that they support legislation to make it more difficult for suspected terrorists to buy guns.
Investigators have said a gun was discovered in the car Shahzad left at the airport.
