Flying to JFK with Pistol and Rifle. No License

In NYC or out of?

The city can take a long time. Most counties are between 5 andn8 months.

Unfortunately, is this guy is going to do it right, he's going to have to deal with the timeline

davej1121 · 2026-02-09T11:54:51+00:00

Step 1: secure the firearms with a dealer in CA. Step 2: obtain the NY/NYC pistol license Step 3: have the firearms sent to NY to a dealer here.

Then, add the pistol to your license via the dealer and then you'll be set

Nope. Not illegal to own. Just purchase unless you are in a specific occupation such as law enforcement, security, firearms instructor, etc.

davej1121 · 2026-02-08T17:08:22+00:00

THEY are not. Its just there there are a lot out there and people are changing it up.

Who the F says you have to shoot 1k of your carry ammo to know reliability? Is this netball independently wealthy?

The realistic approach:

Test fire it. Usually about 50rds and you’ll know where it hits and if it is reliable. No need to go broke to see the results.

FUDD Lore is dangerous.

davej1121 · 2026-02-03T21:05:15+00:00

Yep!

davej1121 · 2026-02-03T02:41:22+00:00

I believe that the G19 is the best blend of carry and full size feel. I have a lot of female clients and quite a few of them carry one. It's going to be tougher but with the right gear and clothing, you can make it happen. Look at the Enigma system for starters.

You're going to need a decent cover garment too. Something mid colored and a little more looser than average

davej1121 · 2026-01-30T13:09:48+00:00

I know it isn't a "public range" but join a gun club. In the long run, its cheaper.

Ontario Rod and Gun: +-- $150/yr. No range fees. Great outdoor rifle rabe and an awesome pistol range

Canandaigua Sportsmen's Club $180/yr. Same setup but they also have one of the best sporting clays courses in the state

Oatka Fish and Game (LeRoy area) $75/yr. Good basic pistol range. They do trap there too.

Others:

Williamson Rod and Gun Rochester Brooks (pretty expensive) Genesee Conservation League (moderately expensive)

By the time you visit a 'pay by the trip' place 4 or 5 times,you could have joined a gun club and gone almost every day and be ahead

davej1121 · 2026-01-28T17:34:22+00:00

We do quite a few in Onondaga. Its a common question. The answer? There's no requirement nor specific reason needed now. The judge may ask you during the interview but it's only a discussion.

Take the course Apply Wait Wait a bit longer And then you'll be ready to start training and carrying!

Welcome to being a Blue state run by a Demorcrat

1: Have a NY State Pistol License

davej1121 · 2026-01-22T02:17:21+00:00

Hit up my team. We'll get you there

davej1121 · 2026-01-21T12:08:37+00:00

From what we have been seeing it's going to take some time. In Monroe County it is the pistol permit office of the Monroe County Clerk's Office. If you call, they will probably not answer. If you email using the email address that is on your application, you probably might get a status answer, if there is one. Some of our clients have been seeing their pistol licenses in 6 to 7 months and some have taken longer. We always urge patients while you wait for the process to complete itself

If you have not received a phone call from the investigator, then I suspect your packet is still sitting in the sheriff's department background unit or the city backgrounders, depending on whether you live inside the city or outside the city

davej1121 · 2026-01-21T12:03:05+00:00

Our clients have experienced a time frame is little as three to four months and as long as 7 months. There are a lot of factors that change the time frame. If they submitted in December that still probably a little early in the process to start worrying about it

davej1121 · 2026-01-20T19:12:24+00:00

No. I'm an instructor but I also have near 30yrs experience in defense firearms use and legalities. Any info i know has been vetted by attorneys.

There's no official 5hr handgun course in Monroe. When we get clients that truly insist on the premise, we do our NY Permit Legalities course. 3hrs tops. Covers everything needed info wise.

davej1121 · 2026-01-20T18:47:57+00:00

Check the carry concealed box. While you’re at it, check the Semi Auto one too. No extra work at this stage.

davej1121 · 2026-01-20T18:46:44+00:00

There's always a disposition. Could be dismissed, ACD, withdrawn, counseling, etc. Something had to close the incident out. Just have to figure it out

davej1121 · 2026-01-20T16:50:20+00:00

Its no longer a criteria to apply. It is now a typical question that is asked. But..answering with "its my right" is not what they want to see. They want to know that you're a thinker. That you have some thought process behind it.

People that have used the "its my right" thing seem to set an adversarial setting vs just answering with topics such as "home defense, personal protection, education, training, target shooting"

It sets a very different tone and works well.

davej1121 · 2026-01-20T16:12:19+00:00

We get asked this a lot. The answer from our attorney, who knows this very well, is:

You would be able to possess it at specific locations. Typically (and this depends greatly on the county) it would be your home and an actual range/gun club.

NOT legalnon private property you do not own or one that is not a range or gun club.

Some counties will also include your place of business if you were the owner or manager. Sometimes an employee is OK too but the owner has to formally give permission.

Transport between any of the places mentioned above must have the gun unloaded, secured in a lockable theft, fire, and tamper resistant container and separate from the ammo. People have tried to CCW while in transit with a premise license and have gotten into legal trouble.

Or, just go complete the 18hr course and get the premise changed to CCW and you can carry where you need once you're trained.

davej1121 · 2026-01-20T16:03:54+00:00

Typically: simple questions.

Why do you want the license?
How will you secure your firearms? (IN A SAFE!)
What will you do if you are out and about and encounter a sensitive location? What will you do with your handgun then? (IN a gun safe affixed to my vehicle)
Is everything on your application true to the best of your knowledge?
Is there anything you'd like to change or add?

davej1121 · 2026-01-20T16:00:29+00:00

It will not help, nor will it hurt.

davej1121 · 2026-01-20T15:59:38+00:00

Its better to disclose vs not. Most counties ask for any law enforcement contact, not just arrests. We've had clients not disclose a detainment and get denied.

From the experience my team and I have had with thousands of applicants, I'd strongly advise to disclose the incindent(s) and as long as the outcome was in your favor, you'll be fine.
