if the court did not order it, then the correct answer is NO. the question is purposly vague, trust me, you answered it correctly.

Thanks alot guys, when you say it won't affect me negatively do you mean that it won't show up at all?

It won't show up. Only court mandated hospitalization/institutionalization will show up in the mental health check. You'll be fine.

No worries...what are you going to buy?

I wouldn't worry about it. Not that he would be even obligated to report it but i'm sure he took that money and metaphorically ran with it. As 9x19 said" what are you going to buy?"

With the first permit Glock 45 and I'm thinking with the second Sig40 or baby eagle 40 probably the sig. Any suggestions?

Thanks guys, just don't want any road blocks, I'm thinking with my first permit a Glock 45 and with the second one a Sig 40 or a Baby Eagle 40, probably the Sig. Any recommendations? Sorry for the double post!

 

Any recommendations?

 

I recommend you try and rent or find someone who will let you shoot some pistols you are interested in before you buy one. At the very least, handle them and maybe dry fire them a few times. You might find something you were interested in before to end up being something you don't really like. Better that happens before you buy!

 

There are simply too many excellent pistols out there to give you a recommendation. The caliber debate is something else that will continue forever.

 

I'd personally suggest you get something you are going to shoot and can afford to shoot...regularly. So if that means a 9mm over a .45ACP because of cost, I'd get the 9mm. But that is just me, and don't let it sway you if you have other reasons. That is just me.

Hello and Welcome,

 

Good Luck with your Pistol Permits.

 

Question 26 has been discussed here previously in lenght and i think you should have no problems since you volontarily saw someone.

Both guns you list above are good choices, see what fits your hand the best.

 

And do try and rent or shoot at the meetups we have here if anyone has these models.

 

I like both Glocks and Sigs, the 21 is available in Gen 4 now and i like it. I have a Gen 3 amd i like it alot,

but it wasnt until i got my Remington 1911 that i really started to obsess with a 45 cal.

 

The Sig s are a good choice anyday.

This is just a recommendation from my experience. Buy a cool gun at first, whatever you want: Glock, Sig, Springfield, Ruger, etc. in 9,40,45,44,38,357, etc. Shoot it for 30 days and have fun. Then get something that shoots .22lr. When you go to the range you can shoot your .22lr for however long does your fancy and then finish off with the bigger cals. The 22lr will also work as a training gun to help with technique and accuracy. That's just my opinion.

When lived in new York I had a 38 revolver and a Glock 9 and I loved shooting the 9 it was such an accurate gun and fun to shoot. Hmm I never thought about a 22, I figured with the first permits I Would get the 45 and the 40, the whole process of having t start all over again to get more handguns just turn my stomach, so I might get the two and leave it at that.

Did you sell those guns?

If you bought them when you were a NY State resident you dont have to have a permit to own them here. They just cant have a mag with more than 15 rds.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO............. Get 2 and leave it at that???? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also you can apply for 3 and get them extended after the 90 days for an additional 90.

I was thinking about the Glock G21 45 cal and the Sig P250 40 cal, what do you guys think? Or would I be better off with both Glocks?

 

I went glock 23 for the .40 and for the sig I want a 1911 in .45. I would say try renting a few .40's and .45's in at least springfield xd, smith & Wesson M&P, and even Ruger. I noticed you had a 9mm glock before so you already had that feel for a glock. I had an xd in .45 gap and loved it. I will be purchasing another xd hopefully soon.

How does the Springfield xp9 compare to the sig? I do love the rugers also, what M&P model would you suggest? So many choices :-)
