A03292 Relates to pistol permit applications for military personnel; requires the licensing officer to act on an application for any member of the active or reserve component of the armed forces within 90 days of presentment.

Direction

Firearms carryAI label

Expands gun access model confidence 90%

Requires licensing officers to decide pistol permit applications from military personnel within 90 days and allows out-of-state military licensees to carry in NY for up to 90 days (or while a NY application is pending), so greater ability to carry firearms.

any member of an active or reserve component of the armed forces of the United States who is duly licensed to carry a pistol or firearm by another jurisdiction within the United States shall be allowed to carry such pistol or firearm within New York state for a period of time not to exceed ninety days, and for the period of time an application is pending under section 400.00 of this article.

Firearms purchase background checksAI label

No change to gun access model confidence 80%

Imposes a 90-day deadline for licensing officers to act on pistol permit applications from military personnel (with appeal rights if denied), so faster but not fewer background checks or other eligibility requirements.

an application for a license pursuant to this section for any member of an active or reserve component of the armed forces of the United States shall be acted upon by the licensing officer within ninety days of the date of presentment of such an application to the appropriate authority.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a 90-day decision deadline for military pistol-permit applications (neutral on the firearms axis, as it does not change eligibility or background-check rules) and creates temporary reciprocity allowing out-of-state military licensees to carry in NY (expands the carry axis). No provisions address other listed topics.
