After a month-long pause following new state gun laws, Orange County Sheriff’s Office resumed training classes for pistol permits in Goshen, New York, on Oct. 11.
About 25 applicants will attend the classes every month, according to Undersheriff Kenneth Jones.
Under the state’s new concealed carry law, each permit applicant must finish a 16-hour classroom training plus a 2-hour live-fire class provided by authorized instructors.
After the new requirement took effect in early September, the sheriff’s office paused training to update courses.
