It doesn't hurt to put down "for all lawful purposes", "hunting, target practice and self-defense" or whatever.
The judge will probably restrict it regardless of what you put down, depending on the county. You wont be screwing yourself out of a permit by putting down self defense. Don't limit yourself. tcsd1236 Ithaca NY |

Hey you guys! I live in Wappingers Falls. I have been thinking about getting a pistol license. How does the unresticted carry work? Do I have to apply for that seperately? If I get i, does it mean that I can carry the pistol anywhere I go within the county?
Also, where do you guys go shoot your ARs? |

hey Kin! eat at Hudson's Rib and Fish lately???
i went for a Dutchess county permit, but couldn't get 4 signatures!!! its not that i'm shady, its just that i don't even know 1 person ( they have to LIVE in Dutchess )! sad, but i'm moving to PA to go class III anyway. go to the Poughkeepsie sheriff's dept, and pay $10.00. they'll give you the permit application with all the rules. when it's issued, you can carry anywhere in New York, except NYC. just by applying, it is understood that you want unrestricted carry. the issuing JUDGE decides what you will be "bumped down" to ie: limited to 1 gun on permit, OWNERSHIP only (no carry), etc. good luck to you too! BTW, i go to Ulster County for ALL my shooting needs! |

Also, where do you guys go shoot your ARs? I do most of my AR shooting in Peekskill - I'm a member of the Hudson Valley Highpower league, we shoot on Camp Smith twice a month at 200, 300, and 600 yards.. It's fun!.. More info check with NYSRPA State HP Rifle Co-ordinator, Ray Carney. [email protected] |

fattyM - I guess you are saying that your friends and family are from Orange, and you slipped over the beacon bridge later.. Hence not knowing enough people in Dutchess...
My story is I moved up from Joisey - Where I used to have a pistol (no carry) . And had to ditch it because I couldn't get the 4 character refrences in Orange within the 12 months the sherrif would hold my beloved Beretta 96 for... So I traded it for the downpayment on my AR. Now I have enough people to get the 4 refrences (I think) and I'm trying for it again. It only took 2.5 years... |

Hey guys.
I'm in Fishkill, Dutchess County NY. When I got my permit in '88 I was told the only type NYS offers is a full carry concealed/unconcealed. The premise permit is for people who have restrictions on their permit moving into the state from another state. That is what the sheriff county clerk told me three weeks ago also when I got another gun to put on my permit. So target shooting is good enough and you will get a full carry permit. |

Flashbang!, yeah, i doubt they will restrict a permit, but i think they can, but like i said, i have never heard of it happening. really, nobody should have much of a problem. |

You could go the law-enforcement route and join the PD, then you can carry the shield and pistol anywhere you please...of course there are minor drawbacks: low pay(considering the risks), low morale, crazy work hours, unappreciative public. On second thought good luck with your application. This NYC LEO feels an armed society is a polite one!

I eat cheap so I eat at Micky Ds.
I heard that Dutchess is still pretty handgun friendly. My FFL dealer (East Coast Personal Protection in Poughkeepsie) has handgun training courses. He said that he will have a well known instructor teach a rifle course next year. Let me know if you need the store's number and I will look it up. The dealer said that he is joining a gun club in Lloyd and then sponsor me in. If that doesn't work out, I will try Knights in Goshen. Can't believe how hard it is to find a place to shoot. |

Apex>> I'm in Orange County also (Warwick)! I got my pistol permit a couple of years ago. Took about 6 months for the paperwork to go through. I got a restricted permit, but thinking about applying for an un-restricted. Kin>> Knight's Range is a great place. George Knight , the owner, is a great guy. I shoot there all the time. I have also bought alot of guns from him in the past. He just got a Browning 1919 belt fed in .308 as a range gun you can rent. They were setting it up the last time I was there and they let me shoot a couple rounds for free. They are waiting for the linking machine to come in to make some .308 belts. Nice range and GREAT people! If you guys ever want to get together at Knight's for some shooting, let me know. |

I guess I'm somewhat fortunate that most of the people I worked with in Ft Worth TX for the last 5 years, are now my neighbors in New Windsor.

Yes, I heard that Knights is $15 per hour, but supposedly, it's very nice there with automated targets.
It's very hard finding other places to shoot. The last time I shot anything in Long Island, they limit you to one round at a time in the gun. Took all the fun out of the AR. How I wish I had a 200 acre spread and then I can shoot anytime I feel like it. |

Sorry if this is a dumb question but, when you say restricted to 3-4 on your permit does that mean you can only own 3-4 handguns total.I`m about to turn in my papers this week and was just wondering.If thats true I already have more than that on my to get list.That would realy suck.Also if I did get an unrestricted would I be able to own as many as I`d like.Thank you.

KOG Every County in NY that issues permits has their own set of criteria and rules that they make up. The Judges also impose their own rules for issuing permits. There is no limit to the number of firearms you can list on your permit under NYS law. Some counties/Judges require that your premises be inspected for security purposes and that you have a safe after registering your fourth firearm. |

As posted by rkbar15 Not necessarily true. Are you talking about an unrestricted carry permit or a premises permit? I was referring to an unrestricted carry permit. A premise permit is not all that useful. An employment/business permit, that allows you to carry during the conduct of such is nice but not practical. What are you to do during non-working hours? I don't want to have to pretend I'm engaged in business at 2:30am. Josey, You're one Lucky Son of a Gun. |

So as I understand it,a carry permit is not separate from a pistol permit.As in I couldn't Put just the 3-4 on the carry permit that I intended to carry ,and the rest on just the permit?

Unless you apply for a premises permit for your dwelling or business you will be issued a "carry concealed permit" unrestricted as to use or restricted to hunting, target shooting etc. If applicable except for the security/safe check you can list more then four firearms on your permit.
NYC has special rules and restrictions as to number and type of firearms you can carry if you are so licensed. AFAIK no other licensing authority has these type restrictions. Because every licensing authority in NY has its own rules and regulations that are not part of the NYS Penal law the above statement may not be correct. |

NY makes you get a pistol permit simply to buy a handgun in NY. This "permit" is also a license to carry, in fact mine says "License to Carry" across the top. I think "pistol permit" is just the commonly used nickname.

Guys,
I already asked this at glocktalk, but as long is this thread is open I'll ask here too. I am a full time student living in Broome County. My parents (friends, references) are all in Oswego county. So I talked with the Oswego County Clerk and they agreed to let me apply for a permit there, using my parents address, in the understanding that I am "temporarilly" in Broome as a student. Well its all about to go through (we're just waiting on my fingerprint results) and I have to admit I am a little nervous. Oswego issues CCW, but Broome doesn't, my licence lists Oswego as my home but I've had an appartment here in Broome for over a year. Am I asking for trouble? Should I immediately change my address on the permit? I don't want to give up the CCW, and honestly don't know where I'll be living in a year when I graduate. Someone on glocktalk told me I might be able to keep my Oswego permit, with its lack of restrictions, as long as I tell them about the address change. My fear is I'll ask them and they will tell me no you have to transfer it to Broome. Please help me understand all this. Am I bending the law? |

nah, if the clerk at the sheriff's dept. says its ok, then its ok! what better back up do you need than the issuing sheriff??? when i was in school, there were alot of "permanent residence" issues that i had to deal with. just maintain your parent's address in Oswego, FOREVER if you have to! get your NRA stuff sent there, your jury-duty stuff, anything official. all i ever needed for proof of address was a piece of mail with my name and the address in question on it. you are a student, ride it out! employment has nothing to do with it. good luck, shoot safely!

You should be ok using your parent's address.

I consider my apartment a temporary residence until I graduate. Been living here 2 years, just started the third year at this address, but I still use my parents address as my legal one. I replied in the glocktalk thread too :)

HEY KIN!
It's $10 per hour per station. No rapid fire, but very AR freindly. No problems with 30rd and beta-c mags/drums. The fastest I have been able to shoot my AR without getting reprimanded is a shot every second (BANG 1-1000 BANG 2-1000). Knights is a little pricey and not much inventory, but the customer service more than makes up for it in my opinion. I have been dealing with George for several years now (He was the only FFL that would do the transfer on my M203 40MM launcher) and I will usually buy stuff from him even though I can get the same thing on the net for cheaper. Hope this helps. |

As is evidenced from all the different responses, there is no county or issuing department with the same rules. I live in Erie Co. at the far eastern end of the state. No carry permits have been issued here without a REAL good reason for some time. The judges definition of a good reason seldom equals what you think would be acceptable.
My advice is to look at what's being issued in your area. If you know of freinds or others in a similar situation as you and they are getting their CC then go for it. Otherwise just ask for Hunting and Target to get the permit and then file for personal protection later. You will most likly get the restricted permit much faster. In speaking with several State Troopers I have yet to meet even one that knew a NYS permit could be restricted. ( other than within NYC ) All said that if I had a permit then they would not pursue the issue further. ( Unless of course I was doing something with the weapon. i.e. brandishing it, threatening someone, etc. ) As someone else on this thread mentioned. The restrictions are not criminal. NYS issues the permit to carry, the individual counties are acting as the agent for the state. The permit is a New York State Permit. New York State recognizies only that you are quailified or not quailfied to possess a pistol. Good Luck. |

You can't be arrested for violating any restriction on you PP. A LEO could advise your licensing officer or licensing agency and then it would be up to the Judge in an administrative proceeding as to what action if any should be taken. You have the right to be represented by an attorney and challenge or present evidence at the hearing.

No reservations are needed. During the week the range is pretty empty. Weekends can get crowded. I try to go during the week. Another thing that I forgot was they give EVERYONE a breathalyzer test before they start shooting. I think this is a great idea, makes me feel a little safer while shooting. |

I'll probably try to get my wife to go with me to try to get her to start shooting too. I guess that I would need to rent 2 positions out (we can't alternate taking turns to shoot with one position?). |
