If the pistol license laws are ever changed in NY, one of trhe most needed reforms would be to remove the discretionary power from the county judges! The way it is now, you are at their mercy! There are some counties in which you can't get a license at all unless you are one of the judge's buddies. And some of these counties are very rural areas with no big cities in which pistols are even a conceivable problem.....

Thanks everyone for your replies. Unfortunitly fir me I got the judge that will NOT give CCW's at all for any reason. I was told that he won't even give them to police officers and tell them to carry on their badge. Just my kinda luck. My buddy got a different judge and now has a CCW.

IMO, this kind of stuff consitutes denial of equal protection of the law, pure and simple! Obviously, blatantly, unconstitutional!!
