Syracuse, NY – Residents heading to the New York State Fairgrounds this weekend will have access to more than just firearms and vendors, as the Madison County Sheriff’s Office plans to provide on-site pistol permit services during the Syracuse Gun Show.
According to the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, the event is scheduled for Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. inside the Dairy Building at the fairgrounds. Officials say deputies will be available both days to assist attendees with several permit-related services.
Services allegedly being offered include pistol permit amendments to add or remove handguns, as well as semi-automatic rifle endorsements added to existing permits. Authorities say fees will be $5 per amendment and $20 for duplicate permits, with cash payments only accepted.
Attendees are advised to bring their current pistol permit along with a valid photo ID to complete any transactions. Organizers also noted that all applicable firearm laws will be observed throughout the event.
The gun show itself is expected to feature approximately 1,000 tables and will be open to the public across both days. Admission is listed at $12 daily, with discounted entry for seniors at $10, while children under 12 may attend for free with an adult.
Officials encourage visitors to stop by the sheriff’s office table for assistance or to ask questions regarding firearm permits and regulations. The presence of law enforcement services on-site is intended to streamline processes that would otherwise require a separate visit to a county office.
The event is anticipated to draw a large crowd from across Central New York and surrounding areas.
