Restrictions on License or Not?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Restrictions on License or Not?

Posted: 1/26/2006 8:57:17 PM EDT

As discussed in the past, we know certain counties place restrictions on Handgun Licenses, others do not.

And to sum up what I have learned here: There really are no "restrictions" per se on CCW licenses, they are rather "Administrative" in nature.

But, I was perusing another gun board (I think it was new england something) and they were having a similar discussion about Massachusetts. Something occured to me.

The licenses do not say "Restricted to Hunting, Target Shooting, etc." Yes, they list Hunting, Camping, Fishing, Hiking, Target but it doesn't say "Restrictions" on it. Could it be, then, that these are the "reasons for issuance" and not restrictions at all?

Mine says "limited to..........". I think the intent is pretty clear.

Do you have the newer type laminated license or the older one? I have a new one and it doens't say restricted to, limited to or anything like that.

Westchester uses the credit card license has 'restricted to target and hunting' printed on it..

While I don't have any restrictions on mine (Ulster County). It has printed on it "Restrictions: NONE". If there were any I'd assume that they would be listed there and it would be pretty clear to me that I was only allowed to do those things.

Even though it may only be an administrative restriction, I believe you could lose your CCW for violating it. So even though you may not face trial or jail time or anything, it's still a pretty stiff penalty.

This whole thing is so f'ing aggrivating to me! I don't even want to carry my gun so much as I don't want to be told that I can't if I want to! I HATE IT HERE.

Paper; I've never seen one of the plastic ones, and didn't even know they existed. How do they enter each new pistol on the plastic? Is there some sort of smart chip in it?

They just print another plastic card with the added pistol on it. The system has your photo. signature and thump print stored in a database with all your other info. You can only have six pistols on each license so you may end up with multiple licenses.

My wife finally figured out why I was so hell bent on moving to Dutchess rather than the other counties. Dutchess County has no restrictions (yet). I thought I heard somewhere they started to issue the new style plastic IDs but you can opt to keep the old one. I have been mistaken before.

Yes. We have the new plastic style ($5) and you can keep the paper tags. I am holding on to paper for now.

I'm in Ulster. Judge Kavanaugh doesn't like restrictions for honest, law abiding citizens!

Dude, WTF? Where's the need to rub it in? I wish I could live in Ulster but I can't. Actually, there's a lot of places I'd like to live but I'm stuck. How about a little moral support for guys trapped in enemy territory rather than a "nah-nah-nah-nah-nah" attitude?

I had mine transferred from Westchester when I first moved up here. I was told I would have to reapply for a new one as my Westchester issued license would eventually expire. I asked why they couldn't just issue me a Dutchess one, hell I've had a pistol license since 1986, No can do. So I had to reapply as if I never had one.

Here's the irony. When I lived in Westchester, I had a restricted license. Carrying for self protection was not a good reason. Now I can go there armed whenever I want. And I do when visiting friends and family.

Under picture on plastic card, Sportsman / Resident but it doesn't list the words Restrictions, but no way am I going to find out the exact intent either by CCWing.

Just curious, is there some advantage to the paper license? It seems that the plastic one is better in every way that I can think of, but it seems that some folks want to hold onto the paper ones. The only thing I can think of is that the plastic one is a bit thicker.

?

Here (Ulster) there is room for 10 on the front & 10 on the back.

Maddog -
We're not rubbing it in just happy to have gotten one of the good guys! Hang in there, with all the weekenders moving up, we'll all be in the same boat soon enough.

My original permit is Westchester. I renewed my permit in Westchester back in 2004. Although I have "moved" my records, in order to get a Dutchess permit the process starts from SCRATCH.

I still have three years left on this one, I'll delay spending that $100 as long as possible.

Even with owning 20+ handguns, I only carry one or two religously, and those pieces of paper are always in the wallet.
