pistol permit erie county ny restrictions

[pcmiz14]

i just received my pistol permit issued in new york in erie county i was issued a target/hunting permit i have tried to get answers about when i can legally carry it concealed but cant find a straight answer can i only carry in the woods can i carry it on the way to the woods how bout in a store on the way any help clarifying would be great

You cannot carry the pistol concealed. I have my permit in monroe county. I am also a full time peace officer. You need to resubmit to get a carry endorsement.

[Darrah30]

if you have a concealed carry for target and hunting the law states you can carry it concealed as long as you are going to or from either one of these so if you have to stop at a store on the way yes you can carry it concealed..

Correct me if im wrong but there is only one type of target/hunting pistol permit It has to be carried concealed Thats how it is in suffolk and nassau county new york The only place its different is NYcity where they want it transported in a locked box

Iam also an Erie County Resident, Having your Hunting/Target permit allows you to Carry Concealed to and, from the Range and also, Hunting. Pending on where you are at and, what you are doing it is up to the disgression of the LEO at the time of contact with him. Example if its 11:30pm and your out in the bar after Hunting you will probably have an Problem. If you are in the Grocery store or the Mall on your way from Target shooting It should not be an issue. But, it depends on the LEO I waiting about 2years after receiving my permit and, requested a Upgrade to Unrestricted and had no problems If you want to know the reason for Upgrade to Un-Restricted (PM) me and I will give you the details.

I waited 16 years and only got to add hiking, BFD! I guess my letter wasn't good enough for the elite class.

What we always hear is "wait at least one year, then apply to have the restrictions lifted". Some counties in NY even allow you to take concealed carry upgrade classes that will help you when you request an unrestricted carry upgrade. Hopefully Erie county will allow this option in the future.

I recieved a dui in 2004, first off is there a better portion of this site to seek help? Ok im in erie county, 2 years after the dui and the suspension of my pistol permit i went through the channels needed to have it reinstated. I went before a judge how simply told me no and "would you like me to process this as if you never tried? or would you like to go further?" I did ask him if it meant i couldnt attempt again and he said that i could.. SO i told him make it as if i wasnt here of coarse. So anyway has anyone gone through this and have you gotten a lawyer in my area to help you? I would like to seek legal advice to get my pistol permit back. thank you all Luvsguns00

Sorry NY. I am sooo glad I live in Washington State. No training for a concealed license, full carry once you have it and if you don't have a carry license there are exemptions built into the RCW's that allow carry for lawful outdoor activities (see RCW 9.41.060).

An attorney isn't going to make a difference just because you have an attorney.

Your lawyer still needs some material to work with.

So imagine I'm your attorney. I need something to give the judge to change the previous outcome.

Let's see...ummmm..."Your honor, my client hasn't been caught drinking and driving since 2004!"

Probably not going to work.

I'm thinking I need to put enough in the record so that if the judge doesn't issue the permit, at least I have some argument on appeal.

I need something of substance from you that addresses the judge's concerns when he denied the earlier application.

How about "Your Honor, my client has successfully completed an addiction program and hasn't improperly used alcohol since (fill in the date you completed the program.) He has learned and matured from his past mistake.

Back when he was drinking and driving all over town he didn't have much of a commitment to his community. Now he is (list of activities that show you are an upright citizen).

This isn't the same person who stood before you 6 years ago. His application should be viewed as his now, not as he was then, because of the significant life changes he undertook to improve himself.

To be sure, your honor, there are things that once committed will by law preclude a person from obtaining a pistol permit. But my client's indiscretion is not one of those things. It is a merely a factor to be considered by the court.

And it has become an insignificant factor by my client's affirmative action to change his life. He didn't merely sit around waiting for the passage of time and hoping time would heal the self inflicted wound. Rather, he took responsibility and action to correct those things that needed to be corrected in his life."

So can you give your lawyer the substance he needs to help you get a permit, or will all he have is "Well your honor, he hasn't been caught drinking and driving for the past 6 years"?
