Draconian Procedures To Have Gun In NYC

[FLA2760]

Man am I glad I fled that sinking ship 11 years ago.
Total disregard for the Constitution. Check out those fees at the bottom!

Seems not much has changed since 1975
Well, the amount did go up a bit.

I'm sure gun fees and laws were (are) the least of things wrong with NY.

$340 for a pistol permit??? Thats some major bull****, one of the big reasons I got my CCW here in michigan is so I wouldn't have to pay the $5 fee my LE center charges for notorization.

'Applicants who must be manually fingerprinted will submit a money order in the amount of $105.25.'

Are you kidding me?!?!?! Just today I got fingerprinted for my CHL. Wanna know how much it costs in Louisiana?

$5!!!!!!!


Eff NYC and Michael Bloomberg.....

I left that God foresaken town 30 years ago. I waited 15 months to be granted a "purchase document" to be able to buy my first handgun while living in NYC. But evidently because I was not the owner of a business, my life wasn't deemed valuable enough to be allowed to carry it. Looks like nothing's changed except the fees have gone up. How's that for tenacity....$105 to be fingerprinted...on top of their $340 fee! I wonder if they now also charge you to pee in the men's room over there at 1 Police Plaza?? It's just a matter of SSDD with those arrogant liberal yankees. (yea...I'm a born and raised NY yankee....so I know all too much about those smart people up there who are endowed with sooooo much wisdom)

WOW.


Makes me appreciate living in Maine. Maine is a shall issue state in regards to CCW permits.

All I had to show was my DD214 and wait for the Town Selectmen to sign it at the monthly meeting. The whole process took about 10 days. It could have taken about 30 at the most.

Up here there is no need for a permission slip to purchase firearms either.

And after all that, the license is only good for THREE YEARS!!

Ponder the idea that the same people who grew up there and have been complicit in this BS legislation are disseminating all across the country and bringing their programming with them. And, they're voting in our districts now.

This is why you need to vote and encourage your friends to vote. Diminish the effect of the Jersey/New York infestation of simpering transplant gun grabbers in your area.

NC has a HUGE infestation of NY/NJ transplants and it's beginning to effect our local and state laws.

 

[Pa.Bill]

Wheelgunslinger --- where in NC are the New Yorker's moving too??

"$340 for a pistol permit??? ..."

my first reaction was this is reminiscent of the poll taxes and literacy tests used to prevent blacks from voting in the South in the 20th Century.

Well, the town of Cary has been lovingly renamed to the Containment Area for Relocated Yankees.

The western mountains, piedmont, and coastal areas are all being encroached.

I'm only half kidding about being xenophobic with regard to them. Compared to NY and NJ, land here is a bargain and it's somewhat still full of rural areas.

The issue I have is that they're voting on the same hysterical ideas they were taught up north. NC's laws are already bad enough.

I sat in waffle house one day after deer hunting and listened to an old guy from Jersey saying over and over to his buddy that they had "gotten those good ole' boys out of there." after a Sheriff of 20 years had been voted out of office. Now, we have Sheriffs who drag their feet for 80+ of the 90 days they have to issue a carry permit. Before that, it was just a couple of weeks.
