He's not saying don't re-cert, just saying he will not take part in chasing down non-compliant gun owners.
Zurlo has always been very pro 2a and anti Safe. He has done a lot to streamline the permit process in the county.
I've run out of popcorn...
Now what do I do, watching these BS threads?
There's some real funny shit, and some sad sad garbage!
Let me ask a stupid question regarding the supposed notifications received by mail. Did it come regular post? Or signature required? Anything not requiring a signature gets thrown in the garbage with all the rest of the junk mail, just sayin...
Ok, lemme run to the store and get more popcorn : )

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/ exempt peace officer--that is listed with his/her employer--is also in the NYSP central firearms registry.

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 electronically notifies the NYSP of the transaction.
The recertification process attempts to clean up a "dirty" dormant database with current up-to-date information.

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 are deceased or moved out of the original county of issuance without notifying the authorities of the address change.

Just received my letter from the NYSP today.

Most people here are just talking. They'll fill out the paper after they receive a final notice. Whether it's when they first get it or after a threat that their licence will be revoked. But let's play the game of a worst case scenario for a tough guy.
So you get the letter and you throw it out. Cool. You showed them! You may get another one signature requested or you may not. Failure to take action and the NYSP informs your country to suspend or revoke your license.
Now you play the same game with your county who you had no issue with in the past regarding registration that they themselves forwarded to the state. After repeated ignorations, eventually a uniformed officer knocks on your door. You decide not to comply with him as well and tell him that you don't have anything in the state anymore. At this point in moment, you just made yourself ineligible to own firearms in this state.
All this because you don't want to register something that already is registered.
It makes no sense whatsoever.

But I'll feel better and my Internet cred will be awesome.
Agreed.
Since those of us with a PP have already signed up for a "rigged" game, we're left with few choices short of losing our "right" or facing off against a no-knock warrant to confiscate ALL of our stuff. With the present state of this country, that stuff may be needed sooner rather than later.
We've been fucked from the start when we applied for a PP. I didn't even think of the constitutional and personal implications of what I was getting into those 4+ decades ago.

If they wanted me to recertify once a year, I would do so begrudgingly in order to maintain my ability to legally defend myself when out and about with my family when and where it counts. I only have 14 years left before I can leave. A stupid paper isn't going to stop that.
Fruitless victories will do nothing for me if I have no gun to defend myself and family.
Sometimes you have to think things through unless you are at the point where life doesn't matter anymore and you are willing to be the lone wolf going out swinging.

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 notices prior to election day but without any follow-up. NYC, Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester Counties are exempt from the NYSP re-certification process since these municipalities have their own renewal programs in place.

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 is in a locked container with the pistol unloaded and only to a range located in NYC. To re-certify with the NYSP costs nothing! To renew with Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester Counties costs a fee.

For now. That I agree with them on. It isn't going to be free forever.

I would love to tell them to go fuck themselves and not do it. That being said, I am going to wait a while just in case it goes to the SCOTUS and gets tossed, but likely even then, this part will remain. Then, I will just comply. I have kept my nose clean and maintained my permit since the mid 90s, and am not about to throw it and my handguns out now. I have no desire to lose the passed down handgun that belonged to my step grandfather, nor the one bought for me by my wife. The alternative to recertifying is move. Can't do that so that's it. It is what it is and it sucks.
Also, I did receive the letter recently as well. Not sure what order those are being sent out.

I have a cool idea .. how about tossing the PP and databases and anyone can go buy some .. increase the time spent in jail for doing something bad with a gun ..
this would save everyone time and $$$$$ ... oh wait .. that's The REAL common sense ....

My wife has received her letter, I have not. This goes to show you how fragile their notification system is. How many people out there dont follow state news and will lose their firearms rights because they never knew that they had to renew their "lifetime license"?

The same thing was said about the (un)SAFE ACT.. one of the first gun club meetings after its passage in the middle of the night, so many members had no idea what it really entailed. There is STILL confusion (even on this board) about what it and what isn't allowed. Some (most?) of that blame lies on the poorly written law itself.
I have an uncle whose pistol permit was issued in either the late 50s or early 60s... he doesn't even have Internet. (shocking, I know)

Exactly why this will all be revamped and tweaked many times..think of the people off grid, or the real patriots from old school Counties that will be furious and write letters to officials and the mass exodus that could come from this. I'll wait and wait and wait and at the final hours of a solid system and real things in place, and if it means I'll lose everything FOR REAL if I don't sign the papers, then I will. But as of now, no fucking way, whatever @Willjr75 wants to say about me lol, I know this is a broken attempt at gathering information on us all more then that is already gathered,to be able to add the new firearms figures in their democrat/liberal CNN news statistics. As for the cleanup records idea, they know what you have, any information on you when you vote,when you buy a new pistol and when you sold a pistol. No real reason to take away Lifetime licenses from Counties that choose to give those, and if not any other state (whatever,maybe CA or whoever) is doing this so that "clean records" idea can go out the window too. They want to know exactly every little micro data on you, believing this is an innocent cute paper clean up from Andys desk is being immensely naive..he has only love and respect and done so much for us NYS PP people, yea???! LLLLOLL
I'm not going to get in to the discussion on how or why to recertify. I just wanted to pass on some helpful information. I received my letter at the place of residence where I initial got my PP. I lucked out and this is my parents address so they just gave me the letter. I have changed my address twice since then, both times changing it with the county. So it appears that the new addresses haven't been forwarded to the state. My guess there's probably going to be a lot of people that wont receive renewal letter because of address changes.
