\"Andrew-Cuomo\"<\/a>

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo rammed the dreaded SAFE Act through the state legislature in 2013.<\/p><\/div>\n

The government has spoken.\u00a0 New York pistol permit holders must recertify their licenses every five years.\u00a0 This mandate was established with the passage of the NY SAFE Act<\/a> in 2013.\u00a0 For everyone who had a license prior to the passage of the SAFE Act, the deadline for recertification is Jan. 31, 2018.<\/p>\n

Of the estimated 1.25 million permits across the state, only\u00a0204,080 have been recertified, according to a recent report by the Times Union<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Problematic?\u00a0 To quote Sarah Palin, “You betcha.”\u00a0 Remember, New York requires a permit not just for concealed carry but for the mere possession of a handgun.<\/p>\n

The obvious question is what happens to those folks who fail to recertify their permits by the deadline?\u00a0 Does Gov. Cuomo, the main champion of the SAFE Act, unleash the confiscation hounds?<\/p>\n

The short answer: Unlikely, given what it would take for a statewide seizure of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of handguns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t have the resources to do it and we\u2019re not even clear that we have the authority to do it. There are a lot of questions about due process,\u201d Peter Kehoe, executive director for the state Sheriff\u2019s Association, told the Times Union.<\/p>\n

That said, I wouldn’t put it past Cuomo to try.\u00a0 It could be done. County clerks have the names of all the permit holders in the state.\u00a0 They’d just need to inspect who hasn’t recertified, put their name on the confiscation list and then forward that to local law enforcement.<\/p>\n

This looming threat of confiscation might be why county clerks have been inundated with questions from both law enforcement and the public.\u00a0 Everyone wants to know what will happen to those who don’t recertify.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are unable to answer the numerous questions from our mutual constituents and other interested parties,\u201d says a Dec. 7 letter signed by County Clerks Association President Annette Hill, of New York City.<\/p>\n

What this is is a real cluster…\u00a0 To make matters worse, many of the pre-2013 permit records are on index cards or in file folders, according to\u00a0Tom King, president of the\u00a0New York State Rifle and Pistol Association.\u00a0 To get all those records digitized and uploaded to the State Police database is no small task.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t have the people or the money to do that,\u201d said King.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cThere are going to be a lot of problems with this.”<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, it’ll be interesting to see what Cuomo does to address these issues.\u00a0 Will he work with the Legislature to extend the deadline? To give permit holders more time to register and to give clerks more time to process records? Or will he go after gun owners who fail or refuse to recertify?<\/p>\n
