eldequello- That all seems like its reasonable enough. But as your said when it gets down to the judge thats when it counts. In my county they are so anti gun it's unreal. I luckily enough have a pistol permit. It is restricted to hunting and target shooting. I dont think they offer many of the full carry permits anymore.
In what County (Court) was he convicted? Did he receive any jail time? If so, where did he go for his sentence? To a NY DOC facility, or a county jail?
Are there a lot of hunters in your county? If so, maybe he could get his right to use rifles & shotgunsrestored. I recommend he check with his County Probation Department!
Let us know what happens-curious about how things are going in NY... (I worked as a Probation Officer in Madison County for ten years,processed several of these requests, and ALL were successful!)
