Here in TN, your "Handgun Carry Permit" number is the exact same number as your drivers license, so the cop kwow's just from your license plate wether or not your a permit holder before he/she pulls you over if your in your own vehicle, or he/she knows when they call in your drivers license number to NCIC during the standard process of issuing you a ticket, etc. There is no law here that says you have a duty to inform, etc. So, if they do not ask, you do not have to tell....LOL...sort of like the "Don't ask don't tell policy" in the military,,HaHa
Congratulations for getting out of it without any difficulty at all. Not many are as lucky as you...
If it's boring you're doing it right! Things get exciting only when you've messed up big time.All in all a boring scenerio
FL LEO can confirm it without your permit number. Not sure if they run it by SSN or what. I'm sure NY is the same way
The crazy gun laws claims are unfounded. Other than requiring a permit, not allowoing reciprocity and not issueing non-res permits, NY has some very liberal practices. Once you get a permit you have more rights than in most "gun friendly" states. However, I would not volunteer this information unless asked to step out of the car or if the gun is in a pocketbook or glove box that must be opened.Yeah NY being so crazy about gun laws still makes me shocked we don't have to notify the police. I have not been pulled over yet, but I would inform them out of respect. Why make a big deal over something minor. Good to hear the trooper was professional and didn't go all Ohio on you. We NYers know how uptight they can be, especially after that shooting last year with the cab.
At the present time NY can't verify by SS number or drivers license. Never give your SS number to anyone other than a NICS check or tax filing.FL LEO can confirm it without your permit number. Not sure if they run it by SSN or what. I'm sure NY is the same way

I will agree that NYS treats permit applicants unfairly. As a discretionary state the level of carry they allow is based on the sole opinion of the licensing agent (judge or police official). Some counties such as Dutchess, Orange and Ulster (40 miles from NYC) regularly grant unrestricted permits while others place restrictions on carry. For those with restrictions we always recommend they take a concealed carry class or NRA PPOTH and then file for an amendment to the license, unrestricting the carry. Another tactic is to become an NRA certified instructor and then ask to have restrictions lifted. But there are still some judges who will interject their personal or politcal views and deny the request. As part of our permit services we often have an attorney appear with the applicant to argue the case for removing restrictions. It costs a little bit more but most applicants find it worth the extra effort.Agree with all of it.
It's just that I thought it was near impossible to get a permit in NY....
