Unless I totally missed something, the fee limitations being placed on the Licenses is a good thing, especially for the NYC crowd that not only gets hammered, but does so every three years.
It's hyper linked above, and not a long or tenuous read, and if I'm wrong, PLEASE show the errors of my way.

It's hyper linked above, and not a long or tenuous read, and if I'm wrong, PLEASE show the errors of my way. The fee is currently fixed for the WHOLE STATE at $10. NYC, Nassau, and Suffolk had carved out an exception for themselves, allowing them to charge whatever they want. So they charge hundreds of dollars for PP issuance and renewal. While everyone else pays $10. Now Westchester wants to do the same. So, instead of $10 we will likely end up paying $200, if not more. It is bad. Bad for poor people. Bad for retired people. Bad for minorities. Bad for middle class. People will be priced out from exercising their Rights. Bad, Bad, bad. |

Perhaps I was too quick to think for just a second that a Democrat actually wanted to do something for gun owners besides fuck them out of their Rights. They do not cap it at $25. That's an annual fee for a gunsmith. For the rest of the poor bastards, "LEGISLATIVE BODY OF SUCH COUNTY shall fix the fee to be charged for a license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver or to purchase or take possession of a semiautomatic rifle and provide for the disposition of such fees". Meaning that Westchester County Legislature, overwhelmingly Democrat, gets to set the fee at whatever their heart desires. It could be $10,000 for all we know. Screw that! |

I'm sure their ridiculous permit application process costs them more than $10 or $25 or even $200 to complete.
So maybe they should start realizing the application process does nothing to stop criminals, and maybe make it simpler and cheaper? Or scrap it entirely? It's their choice to spend so much useless time on the process in the first place. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: As I noted in post #6 above, when Nassau raised the fee to $200 back in 2000 it was because it costs so much here. Mind you they made the process expensive. Plus rather than having clerks doing clerical work they have highly paid police officers doing it. Somebody has to pay for their time. Agreed. The process should not be this lengthy or complicated. But regardless of the costs, they should not be passed down to the citizens. I am sure running an election costs a ton of money. I don't see voters being charged for that. Poll taxes were knocked out a long time ago. Deterring people from exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights by charging high fees is no different from poll taxes. |

The bill passed the Assembly last night and now goes to the Governor. I expect the county will jack up the cost of a pistol license into the hundreds of dollars at least.
