Shall issue as you define it is exactly the same as in NY. You cannot be denied without proper cause and such cause must be stated to you in writing. You may then appeal the ruling. NY cannot arbitrarily deny. It must be based on some valid reason... same as every "shall-issue" state. NY must allow the issuance of a permit without justification for the denial thereof. NY allows out-of-state residents to enter for training purposes as well as competition; See PL 265.20 (13-a). We routinely issue a letter of appointment to non-residents allowing them to enter the state for NRA sanctioned classes. The letter states the course name, location, date/time and must be signed by an instructor as defined in NYS PL 265.00.Just my last comment and this has been fun.
"Shall Issue" means as long as you do not have any legal issues precluding your having a permit the state MUST issue in a timely manner.
In SC when you enter a gun store to purchase while you do not need a permit you will still go through a NICS check. Your permits exempts you from the NICS check.
Yes, NY permits are honored in other states, the states that honor ALL permits. And yes your NY permit can get you various Non Resident permits to go to other states BUT NO ONE CAN CARRY IN NY except for competitions.
As an aside my son just got his card in NJ and I sent him a Sig. His best friend also has a carry permit for NJ. You have no idea of his connections.
It's been fun.
I personally think no one should carry a gun in NYC. I favor that law. I spend a lot of time there... you probably have too. There is no possible way to discharge a firearm in manhattan in self defense without causing collateral damage or personal injury to innocent people. C'mon, 10,000,000 people are shoulder-to-shoulder on the street every day. There is no safe direction.
I Double checked the Rochester statutes and found the carry restriction has been gone for quite a while. I don't agree with the NYS position on reciprocity. A man's good nature doesn't change by crossing state lines. Also, NY now requires the NICS check despite the permit. The feds pushed this on NY.
A recent NYS Supreme Court decision found that any county can deny a carry permit but cannot arbitrarily deny a permit to posses in one's home or business (which would violate the SCOTUS ruling on complete bans of guns). This ruling was spearheaded by a liberal Democrat panel in Westchester. I believe that the NRA/ILA efforts in NY will end the draconian laws for Nassau and Suffolk counties.
A carry permit in NJ is an extreme rarity. NJ is a "may-Issue" or "disretionary-issue" state for both Residents and Non-Residents and New Jersey courts have upheld the policy of strictly limiting permits “to persons pecifically employed in security work . . . and to others who can establish an urgent necessity for carrying guns for self-protection.” Your son obviouly has a legitimate reason for issuance of a CCW permit. The vast majority of residents do not. I do a lot of my instructor trainig at Gun For Hire in Newark. The instructors there can't even get a carry permit. It's a crazy state.
N.J.A.C. 13:54-2.3 Criteria for the issuance of a permit to carry a handgun
(a) No application for a permit to carry a handgun shall be approved by a chief police officer of a municipality, the Superintendent or the Superior Court, unless the applicant:
1. Is a person of good character who is not subject to any of the disabilities which would
prevent him or her from obtaining a permit to purchase a handgun or a firearms purchaser
identification card as provided in this chapter;
2. Has demonstrated that at the time of the application for the permit he or she is thoroughly
familiar with the safe handling and use of handguns; and
3. Has demonstrated a justifiable need to carry a handgun.
One thing we can see is that the state laws throughout America are convoluted and confusing. No one could be expected to keep it all straight, especially while traveling. As a result many innocent people get jammed up. It's too bad we can't just have one set of federal laws that each state must follow.
