      It should be revoked upon conviction in the same filing. It isn’t, which creates a delay and that is a problem. They shouldn’t be pursuing it, it should already be revoked and a sheriff or state police should have taken it from him after conviction.

      I don’t necessarily agree with revoking rights for non-violent felonies without exigent circumstances, but he would fit my exemption.

        Permit or not, he is still a Person Prohibited upon the instant of conviction. There is no delay or filing required. It is illegal for him to possess a firearm under both New York and federal law, presence of a soon-to-be-revoked New York carry permit or not.
