Recertification 2.0
Got this advice from a SCOPE Member.
You might want to inform others that if they need to make changes in pistols being co-registered, they need to delete it from their current list and then add it back in as co-registered. (Make sure to jot down the info before you delete so you can add it all back in.)
This is the only method for making changes.
Also, if you have had the semi-automatic rifle added to your permit you need to go to that line and click yes even if you already have it on your permit.
A very helpful gentleman at the NY Trooper website for pistol permit recertification helped me navigate these issues.

U.S. Rep. Mike Bost(R-Ill) and Rep. Morgan Lutrell (R-Texas) introduced H.R. 1041. Sen. John Kennedy (R-La.) and Sen. Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) introduced S. 478, a companion bill.
Veterans’ who name a fiduciary (or someone to assist with their finances) have their names submitted to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) as prohibited individuals. This practice was temporarily suspended but the suspension will expire on March 14, 2025.
This legislation, introduced both in the House and Senate, would ensure that no Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) bureaucrat can strip a veteran with a fiduciary of their rights to keep and bear arms without a judge or court ruling first that the veteran is a danger to themselves or their community.
Those pesky 5th and 14th Amendments strike again, much to the dismay of gun grabbers.

U.S. Representative Jack Bergman (R-MI) reintroduced H.R. 45, the Firearm Industry Non-Discrimination Act (FIND Act). U.S. Senator Steve Daines (R-MT) also introduced a companion bill in the U.S. Senate (S. 137).
The FIND Act would prevent corporations and other entities that receive government contracts from discriminating against the firearm and ammunition industries.
This is important in relation to large financial institutions, to stop them from implementing ‘virtue-signaling’ corporate policies. These financial institutions have wielded their size and influence in an attempt to restrict firearm manufacturers from conducting constitutionally protected business.
An Illinois County Resident Circuit ruled against a requirement that Illinois residents must obtain a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card in order to possess a gun in the home for self-defense.
The judge noted:
“…the defendant’s possession of a .22 caliber rifle within the confines of her own home, even without a valid FOID card falls squarely within the protections afforded her by the Second Amendment.”
“If we compare [the right to keep and bear arms in one’s home] to the right to vote, requiring a voter to pay an administrative fee for absentee voting from their own home would be unthinkable. There is no question that voting from home requires more administrative work. Yet, to require the payment of additional fees would disenfranchise voters, regardless of the amount of the fee”...any fee associated with a FOID card, as related to possessing one for having a gun in one’s home for self-defense, “violates the Second Amendment.”
“After analyzing all the evidence in this matter, this court finds that the defendant’s activity of possessing a firearm within the confines of her home is an act protected by the Second Amendment. Additionally, there are no historical analogues to the FOID Act as required in Bruen.
The decision only impacts this specific case and Illinois. Being a thoroughly Blue state dominated by Chicago, it will certainly appeal this decision. But, the logic is strong and may be picked up in other similar cases.
