S 3127 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides that a license to possess a pistol or revolver shall permit the licensee to carry such weapon concealed

This bill amends New York's penal law to clarify that a license to possess a pistol or revolver automatically permits the licensee to carry the weapon concealed, without needing separate authorization. It directly affects all New Yorkers who hold such licenses, removing previous restrictions that tied concealed carry to specific occupations (like messengers or correctional officers) or locations. The key change is updating license terms to explicitly include concealed carry as a standard right, while maintaining existing exceptions for certain professions (e.g., armored car guards) and the requirement for a separate NYC permit for concealed carry within the city. The bill does not create new licenses but modifies existing ones to align with concealed carry rights statewide, except in New York City where additional permits are still required.
