Pistol license applications up

Pistol license applications are up 50% on Long Island.  From what I’ve seen it’s up 25%-50% across the state and the backlog is causing some delays.

  1. I wonder how many first timers are part of the increase. Does NY track that stuff? Cause NJ doesn’t seem to, and I just go by what the local Firearms Dept people tell me down at the PD.

  2. Licenses are renewable every 5 years on LI, so I don’t know if Newsday counted renewals or just new applicants. Elseware in the state licenses do not expire so the increase is in new applications.
