New York is reportedly halting the issuance of new concealed carry permits due to the implementation of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act. The act mandates 16 hours of training with 2 hours of range time, but the state has not yet defined the specifics of this program. The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and the Superintendent of State Police have until April 1, 2023, to develop and submit the training program for approval, creating a potential de facto moratorium on new permits for at least seven months.
