Hello,

 

I have a multi-part question and I'll try to be a succinct as possible.

• I recently acquired a Pistol and Gun Permit in NJ. Hudson County to be exact
  
• I have a New York State License with my address showing a PO Box in New York City
  
• I work in New York City
  
• I live in New Jersey, Hudson County (most of the time)
  
• I used to live in New York State from 94-2008 at my parents
  
• I use to live in NYC about 2 years ago
  

I want a New York State Carry permit as the states are so close to one another and I frequent both, and my parents and most of my friends live in NYS; taking my gun to NYS for target practice would be awesome. My parents own a house in NYS. Unless I have a fundamental misunderstanding of the New York law and English language, it seems that if I could prove that I also reside at my parents in NYS I might be able to also get a NYS permit to carry. It seems that if you have a business in NYS you can get a permit according to the site: http://www.co.ulster.ny.us/sheriff/criminal/pistol.html | http://www.nyfirearms.com/blog/nys-gun-laws/

 

Have any of you come across this or have advice? I seems states are acting on their own behalf and circumventing the Constitution. I don't get how this is legal to make it illegal to take your gun. Grrrr. Utah CCW course this saturday. Florida next.

 

Thanks.

What was your question again?

Hello NJGF Vendor FFL,

 

I greatly appreciate your time reading this and letting me know what doesn't matter and what does, and what information I should be providing. Specifically; what avenues are necessary for me to take, in order to legally take my handgun from NJ and carry it on my person in NYS, considering I sorta live in both places.

 

With respect to your questions....

• Permit to purchase a Handgun.
  
• New York State Drivers License
  
• Thanks for letting me know
  
• Additional residence at my parents house when I am travelling for business and working in New York State. My job is a consultant, and I travel quite a bit.
  
• Thanks for letting me know

First off you hav to get a ccw permit in new York. It will never happen in nj or in NYC. Maybe somewhere else in ny state. That is your first requirement before you cn carry on your person

Assuming having drivers licenses from two different states is legal. If your NY drivers license has a PO Box on it, would a PO Box on a NY City drivers license be an legal ID to even apply for some kind of a permit?

 

If you want a carry permit in NYC, it is my understanding that either you have to live there....(very doubtful, unless you live upstate, politically connected or you are a law enforcement officer).

 

Or have an established business there that involves large cash transactions....

 

Or you can be an armed security guard in NYC with carry restrictions like carry while on duty.

Having two licenses is a no-no. Place of residence only

The only solution I see is moving to one of the upstate New York counties that give unrestricted carry permits. Understanding that the permit may take upwards of six months or more (one person had to wait 11 months, another 13 months). The permit will NOT be valid in New York City. Will NOT be valid in New Jersey either or any other state for that matter. You can apply for a Florida and/or Utah CCW out of state permit so you can carry in some states on your consulting job.

Having a NY DL while living in NJ is also a no-no, I think you have 30 days to switch it over.

Yes it must be switched

Do you have two residences? you say you live in NJ "most of the time". How many days a year do you stay at your parents house? Is irt actually a residence or just a place you stay? Do you have an interest in the property where your parents live? Part owner?

 

It seems to me you are a NJ resident who needs to get his DL changed and forget about a NY permit or taking handguns to NY.
