Just got my rifle shotgun permit approval on monday. Went to Queens to pick up the permit, took 10 mins and bought a FNH P-12 that same day. Didn't know what to get but its for home defense so I hope I don't have to use it. Would love to shoot it though.

Great to hear about your FNH!

Sorry to hear you needed a permit!

Really.....is that legal? I would have to get hunting license though correct.

Totally legal... You only need a hunting license if you are going to hunt. A NYC resident can take a long gun anywhere it is legal for him/her to do so. The NYC title 38 rule only applies to handguns. NYPD would make you get a hunting license to get the green HAC card so you can leave the city with your pistols to "hunt" (hopefully that will end soon).

Go out to a range in LI or westchester if you can or If you know someone with private land with no local ordinances prohibiting the discharge of firearms. have at it...

Just my .02, but aren't there a number of places to shoot in Brooklyn? That's what I've heard.

Nassau County Web Portal

Nassau County Rifle and Pistol Range at Mitchel Athletic ComplexI believe that's that one I used to frequent. But actually, shooting a shotgun there is far-fetched... It's past Hofstra University, etc, so that might be a drive. And those Brooklyn places are clubs, I'm pretty sure. :/

Might just have to g a hunting license and ask a few friends upstate if I can blow off a little steam.

You absolutely do not need a hunting license to take your long guns out of the city. If you are worried for some reason, there are two "full-service" ranges on Staten Island that you can join, and a third which is trap/skeet only.

Cool thanks, I will look into those.
