New York sneeking in the back door again

[deadin]

ditrinia...

If I didn't live there any more I think I would be tempted to fill out their paperwork and list 2 or 3 hundred handguns. Give them something to do......

I'm soooo sad that my NYS carry permit issued in 1984 will not be renewed

Maybe I'll just send it back and save them the trouble..
Regards from Sunny Florida

I'm so glad I'm gone.. But I still feel for my brothers in New York:(

Thanks man!

I will take this time to point out something my pistol permit clerk told me a year or so back. This pertains to people that move out of state to live permanently.

Make sure you notify the proper authorities in NY that you have moved out, took your guns with you and ask that your permit be canceled and get proof of doing this. If not and when they find out you did not notify as per the law and they will revoke your permit. This will go into some government data basses and if legal paper work you use in the future asked "Have you ever had a permit license refused or had it revoked (or something like that) and you say no and they find the NY thing you have just committed a crime.

This could get very serious when buying a gun or getting/got a permit in your new state. So the Safe act could still affect you even if your long gone from our peoples republic of NY!

Recertification of the NYS P/P is a way to clean up the system of old, expired permits(deceased owners) and guns on permits that are no longer actually owned by those P/P holders. NYLakesider makes a VG point also about moving out/state.

The P/P cluster in NYS is a rag bag of paper and computer records,,mostly the former. The Countys and some Metro-PD's actually handle the issue process w/a Judge generally doing the final sign off sometimes the Metro PD Chief.
NYSP members P/P's used to signed by the Supt of NYSP Police as the issuing auth,,yes they need a NYS P/P too..

Where one County Clerk may allow you to have a few blank purchasing 'coupons' to go to the next gunshow with and trust you to come back to the Clerks office on Monday or Tuesday to have the gun you bought w/it actually put on your Permit,,other juristictions won't do it,,wouldn't even think of it.
If they didn't burden the public with the nonsense in the first place there would be no need for all this useless crime fighting tool to be updated

Don't recertify??,,they'll just revoke your NYS P/P,,they could care less. Then issue an order to surrender all the guns on.

Maybe everyone'd like what the NYS Dealer/Gunsmith Lic holder goes through,,not a simple on-line re-cert every 3 years but a new hand written long form application complete w/ fingerprints, photos and character ref's.
It used to take 6mo to renew just like getting a regular P/P. I had always put it in 6/8 mo's early so it wouldn't lapse. A few times it did.
The (only?)signing judge went on a 6wk ski va=ca one time I recall.
The last 2 'renewals' took 18mo each leaving me w/o the mandated lic's for 1 yr. Then they back dated them the one yr as well when they did issue. Thanks,,

Yes they can play all sorts of games, you can get all sorts of mad and you could pay a lawyer all sorts of money.
I just dumped my NYS Dealer lic finally after all that,,had had one since '72.
Move?,,not that easy to do for everyone.

But just be aware that the man behind all this SAFE act nonsense is already in the running for POTUS next time around. He waited for his turn.,,and he's is author of the orig AWB.
I'm glad Trump kept Preet on the job.

Mild Rant Over,,thanks, nitro pills at the ready.

I have yet to receive any notification from any NYS or county entity regarding renewal of NY permit. I know ignorance is no defense, but I consider incompetence as intolerable. I have kept my information current with the state as I moved both from a different county and within this county.

I will also mail my renewal in return receipt at the very last minute. Further, I will list my handguns randomly and not at all as they are currently listed on my permit. This will be my small revolt and give the reviewer a 3 page puzzle to decipher.

My wifes letter from the state came in about 10 days ago (Got her permit early 80s) my letter came in a couple days ago, my permit early 70s).

I also have a few to list and intend to mix and match if I have to list them myself. I will shuffle the deck so to speak.

BUT, big but if they allow me to just use the paper my sheriffs department uses to list them I will just put a copy in with the paperwork, would save me a lot of time hand entering all that info. Months ago my pistol permit clerk sent me a list with all info on it and asked me to confirm, sign and mail back. Naturally I made a few copies!

If you forget to send in the form will owning a handgun become a felony that extinguishes your 2A rights

If so, bummer

Its going to be a messy gun grab. How many widows are out there that have forgotten they have their husbands guns ?
They have guns without a permit (felony ). Those guns will probably be confiscated and destroyed . Also one bigger mess is years ago in my county lots of people put their guns on each others permit so they could carry friends guns. That is illegal now, only immediate family . There are 13,000 permits in my county. Some say its just an inventory to clean things up, but I think its going to be much deeper . BACK DOOR GRAB !!!
It just makes me sick to see some fine old guns being destroyed when they could be in the hands of good people that would appreciate them.

Please tell me that I am misreading these 2 lines! I would hate to think that I would need a Visa and passport to migrate to the Great State of Texas from either the north, east or northwest!

Vets excluded of course.

I had a NYC carry permit after I retired from the NYPD for over 10 years but lo and behold a renewal application got lost or was never sent. So a short time after expiration I contacted the license bureau inquiring about my renewal. I was informed that I no longer was licenced to carry and I would not be able to get a new carry permit.

I thanked NYC(1 less tax payer) by moving my business and myself to Pike Co Pa

Did you move to another state simply because you couldn't carry a gun, or were there other underlying reasons?

Just curious.

Well, I assume clearly, I am a heathen, the wife did ours on line. She recieved the emails back that we were good to go. From what I understand, the next renewal, is going to be 85 bucks. But I am good till 2022, as of right now

Remember--it was Prince Andrew that rammed this thing through. But the Republicans still voted yes, and then they voted to fund the NYS Police.

Including Kathy "I'm so pro-gun, look at this picture of me holding a gun" Marchione. What a faker.

Locally, we had two candidates in our Republic primary. One said he supported, unequivocally, the repeal or overturning of the SAFE Act. No compromises. It violated the state constitution, and the Second Amendment, and had to go.

The other said she would, "have to balance that against getting economic legislation passed for the upstate". She also said she would have to "look into fracking" to see whether or not she supported it. This was at a public event, at a gun club, a couple weeks before the election.

The Republican committees supported the horse-trading know-nothing. The NRA followed suit, based on her responses to the infamous questionnaire.

Just because someone says they're pro-gun, doesn't mean they're pro-gun. Declare a party if you haven't already, and vote in the primaries. These people just don't give a damn about you otherwise.

That's my old State Senator right there with Marchione. He promised the world and delivered diddly. Actually turning his back on the gun owners who got him elected.
He was a protege of State Sen Dean Skelos who got sent off to jail. Skelos was part of the " 3 men in a room" who did all the states business by themselves. Cuomo, Skelos and Assemblyman Silver. Preet Bahara put two of em' in jail, hopefully the third one gets his due soon, the big fish.
The Senator in the picture moved to Texas when the heat was put on by Bahara, NY wins, TX loses, good for NY. No one in NY misses him.

Regarding recert, I'd wait until Jan 2018 and flood the NYSP with paperwork. Most people I know are doing exactly that, mailing it in with signature requirement. Why make things easy?

This was the last straw for me. Moved to Arizona last year and wished I had done it a long time ago. For my dear friends still stuck in New York this is a mess. For those not familiar with New York law you must have a permit just to possess a pistol, so if your permit is not recertified you will get. A knock on the door from the state police to confiscate your guns. And the wording of the safe act states they can take not only your pistols but all long guns in your possession as well.

MajorD, what up, I remember you from that NY specific forum. Hope things are going well down there for you.
Just to clarify, in most of NYS outside the 5 Boroughs and LI, a County Judge is the issuing authority on PP's. I don't believe the NYSP can just knock on the door and confiscate anything until the issuing authority revokes/cancels a PP. By NY law the judge has the final say.
Of course we're talking NY where everything is a gray area(on purpose)and we have sketchy info on how this recert is supposed to go down.

My county,state permit says (revocable at anytime) thats stamped on the permit. Doesn't give any reasons.
The ultimate gray area . I don't believe they need a court order to confiscate if your permit is revoked . If its revoked you have guns without a permit which is a felony.

NYSP don't revoke anything, they don't have that power, only the issuing authority can revoke a PP, that was my point.
If a judge revokes your permit, then yes you have handguns without a PP.
The law is written, as I understand, if you don't recertify, the NYSP notify the issuing authority of failure to recertify. It's then in the judge's hands on what he does.
The NYSP do not automatically start knocking on doors....well at least legally they can't. Then again legality in NY is in the eyes of the authority excercizing their will on the unwashed heathens under their rule.

In Putnam County where the judge is pro gun, the County Clerk, and also the Sheriff, I think a further review, ie a letter from the county to your address would be in order asking why you haven't recertified. I don't think automatic revocation would result right away. Not fact, just speculation on my part knowing personally the clerk, the judge and the Sheriff. Don Smith, the Sheriff, was one of the leading LE officials to condemn the SAFE Law from the getgo.
Would they "get in line" if the State puts some pressure on them? Probably, but who knows.

Not every gun owner in NYS knows what's going on, there's plenty of FUDD's, shut ins, older folks, etc. Not that it's an excuse for not knowing the law but that's just the way it is.
People don't even know 10+ rd mags are illegal, some people.
Many people don't know their long guns are in jeopardy, the most insidious part, imo, of the law.

The state is claiming a campaign to inform people of the need to recert, how they do that is a mystery.

Time will tell all.
Lucky for us in Del. Co. our new judge is pro guns and our Sheriff.
Only thing I have against our new judge is he became judge and was my lawyer, now I have to find another lawyer was a good lawyer and respected.
In a way my Co. is pretty good, I just worry about the state.
