So I finally had the wife fill out the rest of her app, got the photos and dropped off at the Warren Co. clerks office yesterday. My wifes sister told her that her lawyer told her to put "for all legal activities" as her reason to want a permit. The clerk was telling my wife to put hunting and target because that is what he gives, I insisted that she put what her sister said. The clerk was rambling about what the judge does and I said that he will be retiring next year and we will have a new judge so writing target and hunting was not the best option. So that issue went away and the clerk said that if my wife wanted to buy a handgun to bring the receipt and they will put it on the permit before she picks it up. So this is where it gets interesting. I said that I heard my wife can add my guns to her permit. She asked if I had a Warren Co. permit, I said no, I have a Saratoga Co. permit but live in Warren Co. She told me I needed to transfer the permit to Warren. I told her that I tried that and the judge added restrictions so no, I don't want to do that. She said, "I don't think the judge will allow that". "allow what?" I asked. She doesn't think the judge will allow me to have a Saratoga Co permit if I live in Warren Co. I told her that I was allowed to do so by Saratoga Co. and that Judge Hall has no jurisdiction over my permit. After we left my wife mention that I just opened a can of worms. I don't think so. I was polite and to the point and did not offer my opinion of the judge. If he were to offer me an unrestricted permit I wouldn't take it. I don't trust him, and I don't know what the new judge will offer. The new Saratoga Co judge has not added restrictions to my permit when I amended it so I am good for 9 more years there. And I still don't know if my wife can put my guns on her permit!
