NYS won’t charge gun owners who 'unknowingly' fail to recertify permits

No criminal enforcement? Maybe just call it "administrative"?

“There are tens of thousands of pistol-permit holders across the state that under the statute could very well become criminals and have a misdemeanor because it doesn’t get in in time, they didn’t get the proper notification or what have you,” Ortt said.

“I don’t think that’s good for New York state, and I don’t think that was the intent of the SAFE Act.”

Pretty sure this was exactly the intent. To make the law abiding no longer allowed to purchase and own firearms.

I do know what “ unknowingly “ means and who decides if you knew or not??

I didnt think much about this until I heard some guys at a local gun shop.
The store worker was talking to them about the recertification.
One guy says, "I havent heard anything about that."
After it was explained to them one guy says, " I havent got anything in the mail, so im not doing shit."
The other guy agreed.
The employee reiterated how important it was but they both agreed that their permits were good for life.

Funny how you need a driver licence or nys id to recertify a constitutional right but not to vote.

They won't do anything NOW....but get pulled over for a minor traffic violation, wanting to purchase another firearm or any instance where your name gets checked by the government...and then they'll whack you. Kinda like unSAFE Act, they'll just pile on the additional firearm charges to any other charges you have.

Law enforcement automatically acquires telepathic abilities when the don the uniform. They will know the 'unknowing' from the slacker, just by making eye contact. In the 'unlikely' event there is a slip up, not to worry, your $10,000.00 lawyer, the DA, and a NY judge will work it all out, and you might even get some of your guns back, well, that may be a bit too optimistic, but you sure as heck will get your bail money back.

Deleted this one as a duplicate once already earlier.

Pistol deadline won't be enforced by sheriff's office, state police
