From WCFOA:

    SUBJECT: Westchester BOL meeting of September 30, 2024

    Dozens of gun owners took the time to attend the September 30, 2024 Westchester County Board of Legislators meeting, regarding the proposed clearly excessive fee increases for pistol licenses and services.

    Many valid and constructive suggestions and comments were made by those in attendance. Many more were waiting to comment on the County’s WebEx electronic platform, but unfortunately it was not operating.

    In view of the turnout and comments, the Board delayed any vote on the proposal and held it over to the Monday, October 7, 2024 meeting. At that time we hope that the proposal will be re-committed to the Legislation Committee for revision, and that gun owners will have input on any decisions.

    Thanks to all who took the time to attend, and also those who tried to attend electronically, to affect the outcome of this proposal. Hopefully we will achieve a more fair and reasonable outcome for Westchester’s gun owners.

    We will advise on the progress of the issue.
