If one were to move from NJ to SI,NY, what would one have to be concerned with regarding their firearms?

10 round mags and how tough it would be to get permits considering it is NYC.

 

Ask Bry@n. He would have a better idea.

You'd have to pay like $400/year to get your pistol permits for NYC or something like that. You would also have to register your guns with the NYPD.

Don't do it. You would be moving to the only place in America with stricter gun laws than New Jersey and Cali.

I can't comment too much because I never tried to own a gun when I lived there. I can say that getting into the ranges isn't easy. I have a member bring me in when I go.

 

There are sooooooooo many other reasons I wouldn't move back to SI though. It's the most Jerseyest borough, but everybody is a gangster or a wannabe, traffic is worse than ever and the attitude is just so different from NJ that I can't move back. I am there enough to get the best part of SI, the food.

don't do it!!!! for all the reasons Bryan listed. guns are a big no no is any part of NYC. it's pretty much impossible as a regular citizen to have guns, unless you have plenty of time and money to spend on permits.

Even shotguns a problem?

Yes. I believe that ALL guns (including long arms) must be registered in NYC. Oh, and if you let your firearm's registration expire (the ONLY place in the US that forces gun owners to renew a permit in order to maintain lawful possession of a gun), expect NY's Finest to be knocking at your door and confiscating them. Good luck getting them back too.

I think any firearms aren't easy to own in NYC. My parents live there (SI). When I showed my dad my guns, he expressed interest in becoming a gun owner. So I looked into what it would take to have guns in Staten Island and the notion that I got is: "if you're a mere mortal - don't bother"

all long guns need to be registered, but one can own. there's lots of restrictions. pistols need a license, which has to be renewed every 2 years at the whim of the NYPD. and costs $55 every time. nevermind the time and costs to apply.

Mikey...

 

But on the bright side... all of this gun control will make you safer in Staten Island.

Yeah I ain't movin there so quick, so no worries and If I ever did my Driver License would be my parents addy in NJ.

I say move, this way we can be neighbors!

Reason enough to stay the Hell where you are.

It's not that bad, but I wouldn't move back. You could give me a house on Todt Hill for free and I'd still stay in NJ.

Bryan - I doubt many people on here know what Todt Hill is...

and I wouldn't want to live there either...

I passed there driving my cab out of Jersey many times. It is the nicest section of "The Rock" as far as I remember. The McMansions on Staten Island are one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Some of them have about a foot of land on each side if their house because the house takes up the entire property. Someone could reach out their window and scratch their neighbor's back.

Anybody remember the backyard wedding scene in Easy Money?

Lunker hit it.

 

TH used to be old money and gangsters. Now the south shore is Mcmansion haven.

good bye Italian Gangsters - hello Russian Computer Programmers

As a former NYC resident I can tell you... DON'T DO IT!

 

 

Its not just a matter of paying $400. Its $400 every three years. That is just for pistol. Rifle or shotgun is another $300 every three years. It takes upwards of 8 months to get approved and then you have to register all your guns. They will let you only register a max or 4 or 5.

 

Then you have to pay an income tax to NYC plus have to deal with having your car attacked on a regular basis with various parking tickets. Plus get drenched with tolls in order to get in or out of that infernal city. That Cities aptitude toward cars is much the same as their attitude toward guns... YOU DON'T NEED EM. They will two you car for a mere $200 owed and make you pay $700 to get it back.

 

If you must got to NYC for business related reasons on a regular basis, just get a small dive apt there, but don't make yourself a resident. Also be aware that commuting from Staten Island to Manhatten is very inconvenient. You can't just hope a train that goes straight there. Many people take the ferry, which come with the problem of how to get to the ferry from your house. Something that needs to be thought out in advance.

 

One of my greatest satisfactions in leaving NYC is that I no longer pay taxes to anti-gunners. When you factor in the living expenses and taxes, you don't make more money working in NYC.

 

I can't tell you how happy I am that I got bitten by the gun-bug, because it gave me the incentive I needed to finally get out of that cursed city. I wish I had gotten into guns 12 years ago.

I have to disagree with some comments here.

 

If you pay your parking tickets on time, you won't have an issue. If you park legally, you won't get bent over. I lived there for 30 years and never had an issue.

 

As far as commuting to Manhattan, it's actually pretty easy depending on where you live. There are park and rides out by the OBX, that run through NJ to go into the city. If your on the North Shore, there are planty of express buses. I would drive down by the VZ bridge area, park there, hop on the bus, get off downtown and hop a train up town. Door to door was an hour.

 

As far as money goes, that is subject to what people do. A legal secretary isn't making the same money in NJ as she will make in a big firm in Manhattan. Huge difference, well over what the commuting cost would be.
