it doesn't matter. He, if qualified, is exempt from state and local law dealing with the carriage of concealed firearms.......to carry must necessarily include possess.
Here is the issue and it seems specific to New York State Gun Laws and listing handguns on the back of the permit.
The OP said that his handguns are listed in the back of his permit, except for the one he wants to bring into NY. (Presumably he wants to add that new handgun onto his permit)
I do have a CCP from my primary resident (Retired P.O.) The gun in question is not on my CCP N.Y.S. list all handguns on the back of my permit
That appears to be the issue that the OP is referring to.... NY State law and HIS permit (that lists handguns on his pistol permit) in NY State. He is a NY state resident and I am/was assuming that the OP wanted to
add the pistol he acquired elsewhere on his NYS Permit.
I like to ask can I leaglly transport a pistol back to my primary resident under the HR218 and my I.D. Retired Law-enforcement
If the OP was living in another state and wanted to transport his pistol to or through NY in his travels for whatever purpose, he can under LEOSA. And because he is traveling under LEOSA he does not have to list his handguns on his permit AFAIK.
But he is a resident of New York State. Under LEOSA
he can carry anywhere...but...
NY STATE requires that pistols have to be added to the permit. But the OP has to be legal first to qualify under LEOSA...
NYS requires it's
residents to list their handguns on their NYS permit.
I believe he was asking about legally bring back the pistol to NY
to use in NY State
as a resident under his
NY State Pistol Permit.
I gave the answer from the nyfirearms.com site which was that he would have to go through an FFL to
add it on to his NYS Pistol Permit.
The situation is unique for two points # 1 because NY State might be the
only place that requires that pistols be listed in back of the permit...#2 because the OP wanted to add the gun to his NYS permit that he legally acquired elsewhere.
Please check out this site and ask the same question there. They deal with all these questions all the time.
