i live in northern Westchester Co. and recently applied for my pistol permit. since applying for my NY permit i have applied and received an unrestricted permit from Utah. i have also applied for permits from ME, NH, FL, CT & AZ. it is my understanding that in West. Co. you will not be issued an unrestricted permit and when i picked up my paper work the detective advised me to apply for a target shooting and a hunting permit, which i did. when i am issued my NY permit and if/when it comes back T & H restricted is it somehow possible to have those restrictions removed based on the other unrestricted non-resident permits i have? i have heard various stories from it will never happen to maybe in three years West. will issue unrestricted permits. i am interested in hearing if any West. Co. residents have had the restrictions removed from there permits and if so how did you go about it.
