It’s easy for us to forget just how many pro-gun individuals there are in ostensibly anti-gun states. For example, there are a lot of pro-gun people in New York state. Unfortunately, their voices are drowned out by the urban centers who have been bamboozled into believing gun control works.

NY County Joins Pro-Gun Side In SCOTUS Case - Bearing Arms

 

[Different Drummer]

From the article:
It seems that in the county, only one person can issue permits. A judge.

Unfortunately, the judge only wants to issue restrictive permits that only allows carrying while hunting or target shooting. Anyone wanting an unrestricted permit has to show extraordinary grounds for needing it.

Because the Bill of Rights is all about proving you need to do something.

No one is required to show a need to worship as they see fit. No one is required to show a need to petition the government for the redress of grievances. No one is required to show a need for due process of law. No one has to show a need to speak freely, either.

The word “need” doesn’t show up in the Bill of Rights based on my best recollection, so why does a single individual get to require a need to carry a firearm?

Clearly, the hope is that the Court will strike down “may issue” laws. Frankly, I hope for the same thing. I’ve heard from too many people over the years who have been denied their right to keep and bear arms because someone else figured they didn’t need it to hope otherwise.

I’m just glad to see someone in New York feeling the same way.

Seems to be the same MO as Saratoga County. I would like to hold some hope that Saratoga County would do the same. However, I have come to realize that Saratoga County exists on the end of a tentacle that extends north from NYShitty.

Looks like another county is thinking about joining..

Schuyler County considers joining U.S. Supreme Court challenge to New York gun control law

So looks like as of now, the counties that have joined are.
Cortland, and St. Lawrence

And the following counties are deciding if they also want to join the case.

Steuben, Montgomery, Lewis, Tioga, Chemung, Schenectady and Jefferson

It would be great to see shale issue fall, i don't see it happening with this case.

It's about "Scrutiny"...

When the issue is resolved, all arguments follow suit... High capacity, evil features, exhibit need, etc.!

Legislating from the bench is a problem... But why do Dogs & Cats lick their balls? Because they "can"...

Scrutiny!
Scrutiny!
Scrutiny!

Simple...

Sort of like the SCOTUS, Saratoga County (finally) lined up an issuing judge and County Sheriff who see eye to eye, and believe in the 2A. Also oddly enough the judge does NOT own a firearm (he says).
But as I said sort of like SCOTUS, as this can all change if they retire, do not get elected, etc., and get replaced with a Firearm "Safety" believer.
My advice would be do not procrastinate and get your permit. It is easier to deny than it is to revoke. Notice I didn't say that they "can't" do either...
