Anyone wih a NYS Business restricted permit apply for the NYC permit? How do you go about this? Do you need to go throught the fingerprinting process again? How long does does this take? Thanks in advance! |
I do not think that intellectual property would count. You would have to carry a ton of money, negotiable securities, diamonds......you get the idea. |
| I knew an NYPD Lt. that was in charge of pistol permits over at 1 police plaza. I asked him about that once and he said you have to carrying alot of Cash to get a carry permit. He told me that goods do not count. If they did, every truck driver in the city would be carrying. Hope this helps. |
If this qualifies, maybe I can get a carry permit for when I go out in the city wearing all my bling. Come on, if goods counted, that would mean every gang bangin' rapper would be justified in getting a carry permit. So would every trophy wife shopping on Madison Ave. wearing over $20k in clothes and $100k in jewelry. That would be a sweet process to see: "Well officer, shopping IS my business and I cannot properly carry out these duties without my uniform (i.e. mink coat, tiffany diamonds, Cartier watch.) |

To clarify -- you have to be a courier of jewelry to qualify. A friend of mine who works for a diamond wholesaler (and who is smoking hot good looking) routinely transports up to several million dollars in gemstones at a time. She was told she could obtain a NYC carry permit but ultimately decided not to -- her logic was that if she had a gun she'd be more likely to be hurt in a robbery. Ordinarily, I'd poo-poo that thinking, but in her case, the likely threat is from professional gem thieves who go out of there way not to hurt anybody in a heist. |
