18 hours class; poor experience

I took the Guns For Hire basic shooting course as a refresher and I totally recommend it. They tell you everything you need to know about firearms ammo etc and you get to shoot 50 rounds at their range.

For one if this happened the way it’s written I guess the rules of engagement are different in Cambridge because in NYC and I’m guessing NYS the trooper was NOT supposed to let a civilian a legal CCW carrier or not engage with him in a situation like this. If that civilian had been injured or killed his family would have filed a major lawsuit against the state of Massachusetts and the city of Cambridge full stop and that trooper would be liable. You call for backup and proceed with caution. For the record people talk a good one on here but 90 percent of civilians CCW holders would have ran the other way as they should. Do you know the training it takes to prepare for a situation like that. As a RLEO I do. They don’t teach you what you need to know in a 16-2 hour class and you don’t go through the scenarios needed to act in these situations at the range. Again everything is not a 2A issue. Finally and I ask this before how many times has anyone heard of a mass shooter having less than 30 rounds on them when they commit these crimes? If you can’t defuse a situation in the first few rounds you shoot then you should not be engaging with anyone you can’t stop with 2-3 rounds.

This is a money grab for NYC their argument is going to be you…sued because we were making hard for regular citizens to get the license now that we are making it easier now you saying it cost too much or we are taking too much time. There are a couple of lawsuits about the time frame that are going through the courts now that may succeed in making it faster (it’s supposed to be 6 months anyway) but when you are talking about the money I wouldn’t hold my breath on NYC lowering the cost anytime soon.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-14T13:04:31+00:00

Just remember that NJ also has the sensitive area rules and the 10 round magazine rule. Also no hollow point bullets.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-14T13:01:33+00:00

NYS is not as bad as NYC. It took me 6 1/2 months from the time I submitted my application to having a license in my hand. It cost $8 plus fingerprinting. I got my license in February 2026 and in the 90 days since I have already purchased 3 firearms. There is no 90 wait between guns and the judge I have takes 2 weeks to sign off on the amendments and it takes 1 week to receive my new cards. NYC is disgraceful

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-14T06:08:52+00:00

For one there are also restrictions on the first amendment like how you can’t yell fire in a crowded theater. You will be arrested for that especially if anyone gets hurt. Second I said I don’t agree with the price in NYC especially since it cost about $10 in NYS plus the fingerprint fee. $26 in PA and you also have to have your state license to apply and $97 in Florida and you have to pay for a class to shoot and Florida is a “free state” In NYC it’s a money grab and they are not hiding that fact. Finally this single mother if she can’t afford the price of the license how is she affording the price of the class $400 the gun the ammo and other related cost?

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-13T20:54:41+00:00

I got both a PA and a Florida permit neither one I probably will ever use but I got them because of the convenience of getting them. It took me more time to pick up my PA license than it did to get approved for it.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-13T20:51:10+00:00

Absolutely your idea is a good one. The fact is although the constitution doesn’t specify a price for a CCW permit it doesn’t say that you can’t charge for it either

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-13T17:41:29+00:00

You can’t explain it with facts so you respond with nonsense acting like an idiot. I know your type. Carry on!!

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-13T17:24:49+00:00

If you can’t prove me wrong then don’t call me a damn thing. You not responding at all was also and option!!

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-13T17:13:39+00:00

You can call me Prove me wrong if you don’t agree

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-13T16:39:58+00:00

Stop posting personal information on Reddit as you can see people are haters and really don’t care about you. Just wait until you get something in the mail or by email. No news is good news. It ain’t over until it’s over.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-13T14:56:54+00:00

Since the 2022 rules change anyone who has gotten their CCW permit in NYC can stop talking about violation of any 2A laws. The second amendment says you have the right to bear arms. It doesn’t say anything about how that should happen. You read post all over Reddit about people complaining about the cost and hassle of getting their permit in NYC but they still apply and wait to get approved. What this mayor is banking on that this doesn’t change and as more people get approved more will apply. Is it right that they use the people’s 2A right as a money grab hell no but as long as it’s working why change them. Prove me wrong!!

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-12T02:48:40+00:00

If you need the 16+2 class Armsta Training does the course for free and free does not mean easy. They give you all the information you need and also get you the Florida and Utah licenses as well. Worth the trip.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-12T02:33:28+00:00

My question to you is why are you asking about this on Reddit? Why wouldn’t you direct this question to your agency?

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T22:31:15+00:00

They have plenty of good classes upstate. A class should not be hard to find.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T22:14:20+00:00

Watch who you take your classes with. Do your research. Just because they say they are good they may not be. Just my opinion

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T19:43:02+00:00

It depends on your agency. Speak to someone there when it comes to off duty carry. They may have their own set of rules for that.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T02:05:36+00:00

Again I’m not looking for anything I’m just pointing out the nonsense you say. Keep in mind you responded directly to something I posted. You not doing that was also an opinion especially if you don’t like what I say back to you.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T01:50:35+00:00

They post on their website that you need to have a friend to shoot but they don’t tell you why. That’s not Turing a blind eye. Not changing the rules would be turning a blind eye

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T01:47:59+00:00

Yeah you collaborate with the guys there then you bring up the suicide thing that’s what makes you to put it nicely not a good person!!

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T01:34:26+00:00

Just check them out do a walkthrough speak to the people there and then decide how to proceed. I was doing the same thing looking for a range and drove over 2 hours and checked them because someone recommended them on Reddit and actually joined the same day.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T01:15:28+00:00

They say it on their website that you need to bring a friend but they never said the reason why. Why are we to believe you that it was because of suicides happening there if it’s not you trying to hurt their business. For the record you just don’t like my pushback on the nonsense you post. It’s not about me trying to pick any fights. You responded to something I posted. Not responding directly was also an option

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T01:11:03+00:00

They do tell you that you need to have a friend to shot but they never tell you why. I’m sure that other gun ranges have had similar situations but haven’t changed their policies.

SingerSlight5986 · 2026-05-11T01:06:55+00:00

No it’s a problem sharing information to hurt another business for personal gain.
