  1. Pistol Permits
    I'm gearing up to apply for my pistol permit next month and am unsure of what the best way to answer the alcohol question. I have a beer with dinner and occasionally have a 6 pack on a Saturday night and have an irrational fear that admitting to drinking is going to get me denied. Is it...

  5. Rifles
    I don't own any guns like this but I know a few people that do and one person asked me what can be done to allow them to keep their rifle without registering.

    This is being asked of the FFLs on the board, but other replies are welcome. NYSP please give opinions also.

    Hello. I recently installed Uncle Mike's single point sling adapter on my Mossberg 500 persuader. It fits between the pistol grip and the receiver. Unfortunately it's thicker than the factory spacer that was there so the pistol grip got moved about 3/8 of an inch further away from trigger and...
