I am one lucky Beaker. Although I stayed in NY by choice recently, I live in an upstate county where the judge trusts that if you can have a pistol permit, you can carry concealed. There are no restrictions and non of the politcial-payoff shenanigans you all have on LI and in NYC. Has anyone in...

After many years of dragging his feet my buddy finally applied to for his permit in Suffolk. He filled out all the references and had everything notarized before his interview thinking he was saving time (I'm one of his references and have yet been contacted). The officer required him to redo...

I have taken some time to create a form letter that attempts to address our pistol licensing problem here in Suffolk County. I am requesting that all of us "non fuds" (whether or not you actually have a pistol license) copy, paste, and send this letter to your local Suffolk County Legislator...

this gave me a chuckle....

Watching a re-run of Barney Miller. Fast forward to 19:30 and see what the perp has to say about getting a gun in NYC

Anyone file lately? Whats the current turn around down there? Im headed down for a week and a half in May and wondering if im too late.

I've got someones ear, what do you think about these ideas... 1. Change the application fee from $10 to $100-200 for improved processing on the order of 60-90 days vs 9-12 months 2. Change the amendment fee from $5 to $10-20 and get purchase docs from ANY precinct (serial # check and new card...

I just called several county sheriffs to find out in they would give me a CCW for PA - Berks - NO Lebanon - NO Lehigh - NO Lancaster - NO They all said the same thing " You don't have a full carry in NYS, so you can't get one here." I guess a PA CCW is done for downstate NY residents....

I am most likely gonna go to Scranton PA tomorrow morning, leave real early, around 5, get there close to 8. Grab a PA CCW license, and do a quick turnaround getting back by 12. If anyone is interested in going let me know, gas/tolls are covered no issues.

I just got the phone call to schedule my interview. It was just brought to my attention that a summons and ticket are the same thing. I have 2 - 2 point violations on my MVR in the last three years but answered "no" to "traffic summons in the last 5" on the application. Should I just reschedule...

I just noticed the new hours at the pistol licensing bureau. What gives, they are now closed on Wednesdays!

***Nassau County Pistol Licensing new hours of operation*** Starting July 1st 2014 Monday & Friday 9AM-5PM Tues & Thursday 11AM-7PM Wednesday Closed

A large majority of us NY'ers here have a pistol permit. With that said, let me ask....how many of us have a spouse/significant other who is licensed as well ? I bet less that 50%. Let me propose this...... Lets get stronger as a firearm community! That means, get off your lazy arse and have...

For years i've been shooting clays behind the yaphank licensing bureau up until as recent as 2 months ago. There was a dirt road back there along the power lines and a sump where people would shoot clays. Well i decided to go today and now there is a fence locking the road up saying private...

Went to Suffolk plb today to add a recent purchase and drop off some paperwork. Two retired cops, one Nasau and one NYPD had called ahead to find out how to get their Suffolk licenses and were escorted into the office and given applications to fill out. The Character references were not needed...
