The recent U.S. Supreme Court decision on New York's conceal carry law has left many pistol permit licensees with questions about the status of their pistol license, as well as the licensing process in general. The Putnam County Sheriff's Department says they do not yet have any definite answers on the local level.  The New York state legislature could also make changes to the laws.  The Sheriff Department says until that's all sorted out, it would be unwise and premature to make any significant changes to the current licensing procedure. The licensing officer for the County is still legally tasked with approving pistol permits and any changes or amendments to those permits. Permit applications and amendments will still be processed by the County Clerk. Any changes to this process will be discussed and announced once finalized.
