They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. But unfortunately; what was done in Orange County has affected Ulster County.

This is coming from the ADMINISTRATIVE (Head) State Supreme Court Justice of the 3rd Judicial District in which Ulster County is part of--not JSC Cahill or the U.C. Sheriff's Office. Orange County is in the 9th Judicial District. The parties in Orange County issued amendments WITHOUT any of the...

Hex, South of us in Orange County, the PL applicants go thru many hoops to obtain a PL. The OCSO police detectives interview them. They need to submit documents (copies of) and have to take a gun safety class with instructors who are on the OCSO list.

Ulster makes no mention of "unrestricted'" on the license cards. But does have listed "Restrictions: Target,fishing,hunting,camping".

County level Judges Williams and Mizel are most likely to issue full carry PLs to private citizens the first time out. The other licensing officials require personal interviews and rarely issue full carry pistols licenses to private citizens initially. Many of the judges require proof of live...

NYC carry PLs are far and few. Restricted business carry PLs are quite difficult to obtain and require extensive documentation of need. NYC full carry is next to impossible unless you're part of the "rich & famous" well-connected crowd or a retired NYC or state LEO. Premise pistol licenses are...

Don't know why some pistol licensees make a "big deal" out of it on these boards. If you live in NYC; about the only pistol license the average citizen will get from NYPD is a premises only license. And for that privilege it will cost $340 every three years!! Can't transport the handgun unless...

It's only a matter of the NYSP attempting to "clean up" a corrupted pistol database with current, up-to-date contact information. It's the same way with the counties' voter enrollment sheets: voters die, move etc without notifying the Board of Elections. This is why the Elections Board sends out...

My error; Thanks for bring it to my attention. HR 822 was passed back in 2013 and the U.S. Senate did not act on it. But I am very confident that HR 38 will pass in the House of Representatives then U.S. Senate and Presidential approval will follow suit shortly thereafter. The below link is a...

You might want to e-mail the NYSP pistol licensing bureau; they are in a better position to answer your question.

But the Penal Law states 'license to possess pistol' not just a specific pistol per se (on your license). Using the same analogy; a police or exempt peace officer purchased a pistol on his employment status; naturally the pistol is registered with his employing agency and in the NYSP firearms...

That pretty much happened with NYC during the late 1970s; prior to their fiscal crisis NYC CUNY was tuition-free for city residents. History does have a tendency to repeat itself........

That is more of an administrative matter than a criminal one.

I opted out by reason of my employment; but my name and physical address still remains on the voter enrollment rolls.

It is so ironic that if you are a registered voter in NYS; your name and physical address is public information on the voter enrollment rolls and you can't "opt-out" from it being made public.

Cuomo and DeBlasio despise each other. There is no collaboration on their part to do anything in tandem. Hillary for NYC Mayor?? Highly unlikely. I wonder if Client Number 9 or Carlos Danger has a hand in this ??

To clean up the existing database with up-to-date information on current PL holders. NYC, Westchester, Nassau and Suffolk County are exempt from the state re-certification procedures since they have their own renewal process in place. There are many, perhaps thousands, of licensed PL holders who...

Yes, What you have stated has been done for years on end. The NYSP does maintain a central firearms registry of pistol license holders along with a description of the handguns registered on your permit. When you add or delete a pistol on your PL; the sheriff's or county clerk's office...

The NYSP has maintained a centralized database of PL holders for as long as I can remember. When you add or delete a handgun registered on your PL; the county sheriff's or clerks office electronically notifies the NYSP of the transaction. Also, any handgun personally owned by a police officer/...

Quite similar to the voter enrollment of each county. The enrollment sheets are coated with the names of deceased voters whose names were never deleted and also those who moved and never bothered to re-register at their new location.

No, that is done by the county sheriff's or clerks office as it has done in the past. For the NYSP to even ask that question is a redundancy on their part since they already have that information in their database.

Any handgun personally owned by a police/exempt peace officer, whether by virtue of employment OR by pistol license, is also in the state police central firearms database. The public employer of such officer must notify the NYSP of any firearms acquisition or deletion that is listed with their...

I have poor eyesight close up; Bold letters helps me to read and type better.

You can complete the re-certify form on-line. OWASP CSRFGuard Project - New Token Landing Page

The amendment form on the NYSP website is for display purposes only. You need NOT notify the NYSP of any new acquisitions/transfers of pistols; this is done by the county sheriff's or clerk's office as it has in past prior to the SAFE Act.

It's ironic because if you are a registered voter in New York State: your name and address is PUBLIC information. And you can not "opt-out" from that with the local county board of elections. Go figure!

The NYSP has pistol permit re-certification forms on their website. If your pistol license was issued more than five years ago; you must re-certify with the state police. for further information follow the below link. Re-certification may be completed by mail or on-line. Firearms -...

The definition of 'arrested' also includes being issued an appearance ticket (summons) for any crime or violation.

See post #17 as this will become quite commonplace if NR is enacted into federal law.

Another possible scenario is a NYS resident obtaining a non-resident out-of-state PL rather than applying in his home NY county (or NYC). How would national reciprocity affect him or her?

Why would you want to move back here ?? Most retirees from the NE tend to stay put down South.

Thanks for posting the Walther PPQ M2 review, Dr. Evil. It is an excellent carry SA pistol. I should know; I own one (4 inch) (9 mm) and it is my off-duty carry pistol.

Again, its up to the OP what he wants to do if he wants to possess a pistol. Moving out of NYS to a 'shall issue' state might be his best alternative.

Character and risk is in the eyes of the beholder; everyone at some point in time has a controversial issue in their backgrounds--just look at this election cycle's Presidential race for example. Its all about "politics"; who you are and who you know.......

Not necessarily; The OP can move to PA and get a resident PL there. The PA standard application for CCW does neither ask about previous PL application denials nor about "Orders of Protection". An acquiescence of mine who worked for the MTA was denied PL in Dutchess County. When he retired he...

Not True; The OP has NEVER been convicted of any offense; anyone can accuse anybody of anything. He passed the NCIC brady check for long guns. If he moved out of NY to a "shall issue" state such as Pennsylvania, Vermont, down South or out West--he'll no doubt will qualify for a CCW permit. Heck...

You posted this on the Canadian owned NYFirearms forum; my response to you was to consider moving across the border to Pennsylvania which is a "shall issue" state. You cited previous difficulties and involvements with a former GF with a drug addition problem. Very sad to see you were having...

I own a Walther PPQ M2 9 mm 4 inch barrel; it is my off duty weapon. It is what you say--an excellent pistol to shoot. Women, particularly those new to firearms ,tend to favor smaller caliber 380 "pocket pistols" for CCW...unfortunately, as you correctly stated; these pocket guns are quite...

Yes, it is legal under the penal law for a police or exempt occupational peace officer to do so. However; departmental rules and regulations regarding the carrying of weapons on or off duty come into play.

LOL!!!!!!!

Excellent response!!!

The sheriff's office submits ALL applications to the licensing officer for review.

It's not up to the sheriff's office to approve or deny your application. Your file is forwarded to one of the county judges that act as a pistol licensing officer. He or She will either approve or deny it; not the county sheriff's office.
