God, I cant believe you guys let your own government do this to you. What a joke. I currently live in Falls Church VA, where you dont even need a permit to carry-openly; which I do all the time and we're across the river from D.C.

Like I said, I cant believe people in NY allow this....

$300 Mine was only $85 At least they shot down the bill that would have made you renew every 5 years at $100. I assume it is a restricted permit or are you lucky enough to live in a county where they give out full carry?

well the majority of people in NY probaly support these restrictions, and its kind of hard to hire a lawyer for that kind of case making a median income

Actually, they are supposed to complete the process within six months, not a minimum of six months. It does run over quite frequently..then of course you have the waiting period some judges impose every time you buy one while they decide to approve the purchase coupon........

He didn't say open carry, he said full carry, as compared to getting a permit thats overstamped with limitations such as hunting and target practice only.

I thought mine was bad and it was under $100, don't remember the references having to be notarized, issued for life, no restrictions, and I got it in less than 4 months
although that was also done about as far from NYCity as one can get while still being in NY

nope, this license is restricted.  alot.

and mccarthy is SUCH a failure in office.  Nothing she's proposed has passed due to her inability to compromise.

In fact as a puppet for a pro-israel district, she ain't half bad, but MAN do me and her differ on my rights.

Holy mother of God!

And people bitch about the PRK requiring a Handgun Saftey Certificate to buy one (good for 5 years, simple written test, $25 bucks) and then you can by as many as you want.

Outside of Nassau County and NYC the application fee statewide is $10 + a $99 DCJS fingerprint fee.  The four references which must be notarized has been part of the application process for at least 30 thirty years.

There are several gun friendly counties in NY that routinely issue unrestricted carry permits.  Before NYS raised the age to 21 (discharged military is an exception) some counties were issuing permits to 16 year olds.  My friend had an unrestricted CCW permit when he was 18.

Carolyn McCarthy has been elected to the House four times and is up for reelection this year.  It appears she has a lifetime seat.

You poor fuckers.  18 is the age for a carry permit in Indiana, and damn near everyone I know has had them since their senior year in high school.

Yeah, I realized Indiana is about as good as it gets for CCW when I read this:

Indiana lawmakers have been reluctant to expand gun control.
In 1993, lawmakers debated a measure that would have barred guns from many government buildings, including the Statehouse. It was killed after a show of hands in one committee hearing revealed both lawmakers and spectators admitted they were carrying guns. Lawmakers might have been worried about the spectators -- but they didn't want to disarm themselves.

Carolyn McCarthy is a Democrat and U.S. Congresswoman. She has no direct effect on Nassau County or NYS law.  NY's Republican Governor Pataki supported raising the permit age to 21, ballistic fingerprinting and NY's AWB in 2000.  Unfortunately  his Democratic rivals are far worse.

WHY THE NEW YORK STATE SYSTEM FOR OBTAINING A LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED WEAPON IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL

After I found that I got myself a copy of the Fordham Urban Law Journal that it was published in.  They may still have some copies and the guy was very happy to forward one.

I hear dutchess county is good place.  With me, I'll tell you the truth, I love my state.  It's history, diversity, natural parks, shore, etc.  I love the outdoors, I love guns, etc.  BUT I have to live close to a synogogue cuase I can't drive there on saturdays.  So I'm really limited as to the rurality (?) of my domocile.

Mine was $96, four references, and 9 months = no restrictions
