 In Warsaw, NY a hearing was held to amend the law that bans pistol permit holders from carrying in county buildings. The monthly Board of Supervisors meeting was packed and 12 speakers voiced their opinion, for and against the potential change in law. The Wyoming County chapter of SCOPE was instrumental in this legislation. They worked with the public safety committee in drafting the potential change. Some of the speakers were from SCOPE, including chapter chair Mark Yount II. New Yorkers Against Gun Violence representative Gary Pudup was there to voice his disapproval of the proposed amendment. Unfortunately, even if the amendment is passed, certain state and federal regulations would supersede the county’s proposed legislation. This means concealed carry would still be prohibited in the hospital, mental health buildings, social services buildings, the courthouse and the Ag and Business center, since some tenants there fall under federal regulations.
