**For A License to Carry Concealed for Existing Permit Holders

On July 1, 2022, New York State passed new gun legislation that among other things, revised the requirements for citizens who wish to obtain licenses to carry a firearm concealed. Under the new legislation, which took effect September 1, 2022, the Court is prohibited from issuing a license to carry a firearm concealed until an applicant/permit holder completes an *Enhanced 16 hour training with additional 2 hour in-person live firearms safety course, and provides the licensing authority a list of former and current social media accounts from the past three years. Thus, before the Court can issue a carry conceal license, the applicant/permit holder must meet all the requirements of the new law that took effect on September 1, 2022.

1. completes a live firearm safety course that meets the requirements of Penal Law Section 400.00(19); and 2) provides the licensing authority a list of former and current social media accounts from the past three years as required pursuant to Penal Law Section 400.00 (1)(c)(iv); and 3) meets with Judge in person.

Once the Enhanced Carry Training is completed, submit Certificate along with the “Concealed Carry Form/Social Media Form” to Pistol Permits by mail or drop box, and the Court will schedule the required interview for the issuance of the concealed carry permit.

*The enhanced 16 hour training with an additional 2 hour in-person live firearms safety course is not given through a specific county, it is an Instructor given course that you must contact to enroll in.
