Sad the Way NY is

[Steve D]

When NY made pistol permits renewable the original schedule was 5 Years:

If your permit was issued before January 15, 2013, the deadline to submit your recertification is January 31, 2018. If your permit was issued on or after January 15, 2013, the deadline to recertify is five years after the date the permit was issued. As a permit holder, it is your responsibility to recertify your permit whether you receive a notification letter or not.

Then they changed it 2023 to three years and never notified anyone:

New York State is now requiring that any pistol permit holder whose permit was issued before Sept. 6, 2020, must recertify their carry conceal permit every three years.

In addition to a NY permit I have a Utah and Pennsylvania permit. Last year I received a renewal letter and form from Utah two months ahead notifying when and how I had to renew.

My PA permit expires at the end of March, and I received the notification, required form, along with the information on where, when and how to re-certify.

New York notifies me via e-mail for DMV renewals but has yet to notify me of any change in gun laws or renewals.  NY leaves it up to the individual permit holder to keep his or her permit current and I can't help but wonder how many have expired permits due to the move from 5-year to 3-year renewal. I know of three or four that would have had their permits expire if they weren't given a heads up..

 Not fair to law abiding citizens and sportsmen/women.

I wonder how many permits are going to be revoked by NY because people fail to follow these made-up senseless rules.  Perhaps that's the plan.

California passed a law last September to ban concealed handguns in virtually the entire state. The legal back-and-forth on whether the law would be allowed to go into effect has been educational.

A Republican District Court Judge issued an injunction stating that he thought the law would likely be found unconstitutional.

Then, a Circuit court panel with two Democrats and one Republican stayed that injunction, indicating they thought it would be constitutional.

A second panel reinstated the injunction, suggesting they believed the restrictions were unconstitutional. We don't know the identity of the judges on this last panel, but I strongly suspect that they were Republican nominees.

All this shows how important it is who appoints these judges.

By the end of this year, two-thirds of the federal district and circuit court judges will be appointed by Democrats. The only thing that is keeping these lower court judges in somewhat in check is the Supreme Court, but that control is much more tenuous than you might think.

By the end of the next presidential administration, Clarence Thomas will be 80, and Sam Alito will be 78. If a Democrat president replaces one or both of those Justices, it will be a very different Supreme Court.
