It is a Concealed Carry Permit... I do not live in the city... New York ONLY has concealed carry and it is illegal to open carry without being charged with brandishing a firearm. (At least in my county...).
Instead they place restrictions on our licenses which is a joke because we HAVE to carry concealed at all times so who would know about our restrictions? No one because they wouldn't see my weapon. Except that .44... that's hard to conceal
The restrictions are like: Hunting, Target shooting, fishing, hiking, camping, Only when handling sums of money greater than $x.xx, etc. etc.
And we DO have to take a course which is required, it is sort of a joke but I've been shooting for a while so it wasn't new to me, but just another thing to do.
As a break down it costs about $99 for the NCIS/FBI background check, $35 for the pistol course, $10 for the Sheriff's office to take the pictures, $3 to add a pistol to your permit... so it adds up around here... but it was well worth it!
Our state is like the Army: "Don't ask... Don't tell"
