Supposedly that varies wildly by county. Some counties won't issue a general carry permit unless you are the judge's brother, while others are virtually shall-issue. The further you get from NYC, the better your odds are of getting an unrestricted permit.LarryH wrote:Note: Scott is correct, but didn't mention that New York is a "may-issue" state and VERY gun unfriendly. Do not count on being able to get a carry license in NY.
As was said, there is no chance of getting a carry permit if you are moving to NYC. I think they are may-issue even for permits to possess a handgun, although hopefully that will have to change after the McDonald decision.
