Hi, My name is Matt from Brooklyn. I Just wanted to Introduce myself and say that I'm currently going through the permit process in NYC and this forum has been a great help.
Hi meketrefe,
While they do exist, an "unrestricted" CCW License in NYC is impossible to obtain. Unless you are retired NYPD, a millionaire, maybe a judge... For the average citizen a heavily restricted permit known as a "Premises" License (which is what i am applying for) is most common. It would allow you to own and keep a handgun in your home and only transport it to and from a range while unloaded in a locked container... It is better than nothing.
Also from Brooklyn here, just a regular civilian who's had a Residence-Premise license for about 4 years now. Been lurking on this site for a while, decided to join--lots of great information.
Welcome. Also from Brooklyn and also going through the permit process. Based on some of the info I have been reading here, our paperwork will probably end up in the same pile at some point.
