land never ceases to disappoint moving the target 
15 Demorats against 1 (R) and 1 (C) legislator! What an absolute shitshow. New Yorkistan is clearly a lost cause. Beyond corrupt!

I would attack this from a totally different angle than the one they expect.
That would be to simply get them on record answering why firearm ownership, a right under the Bill of Rights, is predicated on whether you can afford to exercise that right. What have they against poor people in their districts who barely can afford their right now let alone these extraordinary fees which will deny them their basic right to self defense? What other Constitutional Rights would they require a fee to exercise?
Make no mention of anything else.

Great idea, but they don't have to address any of your points. Just listen.
I have a different line that I will bring up at the meeting, we'll see how that goes.

Well yeah. Questions the legislators need to consider
" by a show of hands who here believes that in order to exercise a Constitutional Right, The citizen, rich or poor, must first be able to afford it?"
"What other rights can you, the county legislators, place a fee on so as to curb its use?"
Those are the two questions I would put on the record.

Here is an updated version. Note the spelling is deliberate as there are reports of people not receiving the original message possibly due to filters.

They saw all of the money that could have been made when a lot of people got their 1st CCW license. Someone obviously did the math, looked at NYC/NJ/CT and stated that 'we are missing out on funding, once again (at our expense)".
Who will file the civil rights lawsuit if this passes? It's another grab at taxpayer money. Pure and simple, ike our politicians (the simple part, that is
)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
The number of pistol licenses in Westchester County, New York, experienced a noticeable rise after the COVID-19 pandemic began, reflecting a national trend of increased interest in firearms during that period. Here's a general overview:
Before COVID-19:
In the years leading up to the pandemic (2019 and earlier), Westchester County typically saw fewer pistol permit applications. Firearm ownership was steady, with fewer people seeking pistol licenses for personal protection.
After COVID-19:
Post-2020, there was a marked increase in pistol license applications in Westchester County. This mirrored the national rise in firearm purchases due to uncertainties brought on by the pandemic, civil unrest, and rising concerns over personal safety.
Exact numbers, however, are not readily available without direct access to Westchester County's pistol permit office or updated local government reports. If you need precise figures or a year-by-year comparison, I recommend reaching out to the Westchester County Clerk’s Office or the Westchester County Pistol License Division for the most up-to-date statistics on license applications before and after COVID-19. Would you like help locating specific contact details or reports?

What a clown show.
If permits must be mandatory, government should pay for processing all of it.
Recertification not needed, you were approved already. If you become a criminal Then after getting out of prison perhaps need to recertify.
The DMV as bad as they are processes way more paper work than any gun permit office.
Did I mention it is a right that shall not be infringed, all the above is infringement.
Perhaps people in that area should give up their weapons and use the gun show loop hole; either way they are going to make you a criminal.

And it will still take MONTHS to get amendments approved. Its absurd, this is nothing more than a tax on a right.
