NY State Pistol Permit Classes



The Jamestown Rifle Club will be holding NY State Pistol Permit Classes for those interested in receiving their New York State Pistol Permit.

All proceeds go to the Jamestown Rifle Club to help support the shooting sports.

***NOTE: PER THE CHAUTAUQUA COUNTY SHERIFF PISTOL PERMIT OFFICE, APPLICANTS WITH AN ARREST WITHIN 5 YEARS WILL BE DENIED.***
