Al , me looking at all this from a NH point of view , they are flinging all this bullcrap at law abiding citizens in NYS is strictly all about the money ! All these worthless fees are filling some politicians pockets ! Why do you need a pistol permit in order to buy a rifle ? They are nothing alike . Nobody has ever asked me for my pistol permit when I buy a semi auto rifle or any rifle . Sounds like the politicians just creating another roadblock .
