anyone have any experiance getting a hunting/target permit changed to concealed carry in upstate NY ?

what county are you in?

personally, I've never known anyone who didn't get an unrestricted right out of the gate so I can't help you there, but if you still live in the county that originally gave you that ridiculous restriction I would think it will be a major PITA unless you know a judge. They are the ones who will say yea or nae on the request.

you might have better luck asking here.

I had my non-carry permit for a year. I wrote a letter asking the judge to lift the restrictions after one year. I was one of the few fortunate ones that they allowed restrictions lifted. This is in Onondaga County.

I've heard of people here in Orange County getting it lifted. It all depends on what judge you get. I've been told that there is a family court judge handling some permit issues and she makes everyone show up and get sworn in before she issues a permit or signs an ammendment.

Other judges only issue full carry....depends who you get.

Dna

ask out on the Hunter's campfire
More folks out there.

Well, since I live in the most corrupt state in the Union that has NO provision for concealed carry, that question need not be asked.

In Texas, I taught concealed carry. You couldn't legally carry a handgun unless you went through the training and passed the final test and the firearm's proficiency test...period. Peace Officers made allowances for folks who were obviously just coming from purchasing a firearm or were otherwise engaged in lawful sporting endeavors; but the way the Texas law is written it is so vague, I believe it could be challenged and defeated at each step along the way to the USSC.

FYI Saratoga county

I had my fulton county permit restrictions removed. I wrote one paragraph letter to the judge stating I had a clean record and wanted them removed, I didn't give a reason for the removal. She wrote a note back and it was done. I sounds like anyone without recent criminal convictions would have them removed in Fulton county.

A quick note, I would go to a gunshop in Saratoga county or the sheriffs department and ask the procedure. The ladys at the Fulton county sheriffs civil division are friendly and helpful, its possible that the Saratoga county ones are as well. A decent gunshop has probably heard enough feedback to know as well.

thanks i'll check in to that,the ladies at saratoga just said write a letter ,im a member of NY rifle and pistol association and they tell me my judge is anti carry and vote him out next election
