Commentary: New York’s gun laws are hurting dealers and small businesses

Featured, New York, Opinion /

Ever since the New York Safe Act and the Concealed Carry Improvement Act have been enacted, FFL gun shops and sporting good stores have been inundated with more regulations and excess expenses due to unconstitutional laws imposed by the State of New York.
As of this date, the State of New York has been successful at shutting down approximately 327 legally licensed FFL gun shops.

Commentary: Concealed ed carry renewal is the N.Y. gun owner’s responsibility

Featured, New York, Opinion /

It use to be that a concealed carry permit was issued for the life of the recipient, unless revoked. Then New York State felt the need for a five-year re-certification of pistol permits for all the law-abiding concealed carry gun owners and the permits they held.
The theory behind it was to reduce crime. Following passage of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act in 2022, the re-certification process has been moved up to every three (3) years. It is amazing how many New York State concealed carry pistol permit holders are not aware of this regulation.

Commentary: New York gun owners need to take action, get involved and vote

Featured, Hunting, New York, Opinion /

I have been a reader of New York Outdoor News for quite a while now and find the paper very informative and interesting. It is a good news media.
For the last three to four years in the letters section there has been endless comments on pro-bow and anti crossbow opinions. There are pros and cons to everything but this seems to be a never-ending saga. I do not own a crossbow only because I have no desire to use one. Personally, I do not care what a hunter uses to pursue game as long as it is legal and ethical.
