Trying to find out how difficult it is to get a non resident/part time resident pistol permit in PA and NY.
I live in NJ and am looking to buy some recreational property in either PA or NY.
I would really like to make a shooting range on the property if at all possible.
My understanding of the PA law concerning pistol permits is that since I live in NJ I would not be able to get a permit in PA, they will only give non resident permits to people who already have a permit in their home state. Since that is impossible in NJ it appears that I cannot get a pistol permit in PA.
I have heard that in NY state you can get a part time resident permit as long as you are a property owner.
From reading many many posts it seems that alot of people in PA have shooting ranges on their property while I have not seem many posts about people in NYS having shooting ranges.
So -- is anyone here in a similar situation ? Did you find a solution ?
Sorry for the long post but Im hoping someone with similar circumstances will chime in.
