new guy here, first post. i'm from NY state and ride a BMW motorcycle. i received my Utah permit the other day and my NY permit is in the works, but that can take up to six months. crazy NY laws made me buy a pistol prior to submitting my permit application so i bought a Ruger LCP 380, but can't take possession of it until my permit is approved. i also mailed out my NH & ME application today and am awaiting packets from FL & CT. i travel around the country on my motorcycle quite a bit and although i have never really had any problems i do want to carry for piece of mind. at home i have plenty of long guns to keep me safe in the house (remmington 870 w/ #2 buckshot works for me) but even around my hometown i would feel better carrying. unfortunately in the county i live in (westchester) you get issued a permit for target shooting and hunting and then you can attempt to have those restrictions removed. so thats about it for me, sorry for the long introduction. anyone traveling through NY and in particular Westchester Co (which is north of NYC) drop me a line and if time permits perhaps we can head out to the range for some target shooting, i live 5 min. from a outdoor range.
