Moving to NYC for work, Manhattan in particular. I live in FL now, which even with my little knowledge I know to be vastly different. I have a few ARs, pistols, and knives.  I know CA has serious laws restricting certain firearms. Anything I should know before going to NYC? Will I likely be able to bring my stuff with me? I think I remember reading about a no-handgun law in NYC, but not sure if still in effect. Thanks!

Bring nothing but a plastic spoon. All ar's all pistols pretty much a no go in NYC !
Any gun you have you have to have a permit BEFORE you possess the gun. Unless you are getting a seven figure salary and fly back to Florida every weekend ( no I am not exaggerating) don't move

You can't be serious?   There is not enough money on earth to get me to work in NYC (no offense to those who do).  

Unless your a movie star or famous plan to carry nothing.

A name like HoyaSaxa is enough to get you banned in these parts. Even after we went ACC.

Cuse fan I suppose? I'll say a prayer for you.

Thanks for the stick reference - will check it out.

No, not a troll thread, I knew it was bad, but damn that's really bad :(

Work in NYC in my field is second to none. Not much of a choice.

I will say what others are thinking: That was (is) odd.



In that,  you have not carefully given consideration to the cons of moving here. That  you are asking a question about your guns - which may not be a big issue for you anyways, indicate you haven't even tabled the cons to see if that $300k/yr bonus is worth it.



Yes, NYC is the financial epicenter of the USA, but it is also proportionately more expensive to live there, as well as that minor issue about guns you can have.



I hope you are going to live in NJ, or CT and have a driver get you into the city each day, or you are taking the train in/out. This is the only way you are going to come close to having those guns, and even those states have oddities in their law.

please look for another job outside of NYS/NYC or the Northeast for that fact. Living free is more than collecting a pay check in the gulag.

Just to reinforce...

You can't bring ANY guns with you if you are living in NYC / any of the 5 boroughs. You must first get a very difficult permit to own a long gun in NYC...and an even harder to get permit if you want to own a handgun on nyc.

If you are moving to NY (not NYC), you can't bring any HANDGUNS...just long guns...and long guns must be AWB compliant...no ARs or AKS etc. unless you want to talk about fixing the mag or neutering the pistol grip etc.

But...Manhattan is fun and has lots of conservative people...lots...especially in finance. No you do not need a $100k a year job if you have roommates...ALL young finance people have roommates and share apartments. No they won't be a shoebox...plenty of nice places that you can afford for say $3000/month split between 2 or 3 people.

best food in the world...amazing looking girls...great for your career...

terrible gun laws...high taxes 35%-45% of your income...since the hard working conservatives in NYC have to support the millions of freeloaders.

if you are young do it...if you are in your 30s...don't.

If you must move to ny, do yourself a favor and DONT move to manhattan. You can be 5 minutes over the border of nyc; and while ny has fallen to the communists, its slightly better outside of nyc.

So much in this thread. You all are significantly more active than the FL group lol.

Job-wise, taking this was a no-brainer.  I am doing high-level M&A work, and so NYC is a must for now. Long-term, I will be back in FL.

I do not plan on living outside of Manhattan. I'm coming from Miami, and I enjoy night life, going out, living in active areas, etc. With my pay, I can easily pay 4k a month alone without issue, and have plenty left over for other expenses + savings.

Good thing is, I will maintain a place in Miami to keep my stuff. Just a shame that people walk around NYC without protection. It's kind of scary to think about, tbh.

Cuse/Gtown needs to come back! I enjoyed those games extensively. I plan on hitting up MSG whenever the Heat are in town, too. Knicks are one of the few teams the Heat shouldn't have a problem with lol.

Consider also the recent John Jay (?) Freedom in the 50 States index.  You'll be moving from the most free state, to the least free city in the least free state in the Union.  I doubt the mayor of Miami ever tried to tell you how much soda you were allowed to drink in one sitting, or what kind of oil you had to cook with or how much salt you were allowed to put on your food.

OP,

In NY we have these things called trains.  You do not have to live in NYC to work in NYC.  I commute in everyday, it's no big deal.  Hop on the train relax and I'm there. The best part is that I didn't have to get rid of my guns and knives.

If you have to work in NYC, don't live there. As bad as NJ is, it is 20x better than NY since unsafe passed, and 100X than NYC.    Or if you don't mind a long commute go across to PA, and have nothing to deal with but federal restrictions.
