CA to NYC, huh? Talk about jumping from the frying pan into the fire... 
NYC is going to use this to deny your application based on your California residency. They require you to be a NY state and NYC city resident and if you are maintaining a California DL that is enough for them to deny the application.
This is why I will NEVER, EVER move to New York or California.
1) We have CCW.
2) You can bring your handguns with you when you move.
3) You can have EBRs, subject to certain exceptions and restrictions.

With nearly 20 million people, we are only about 3 million behind Texas.
If you don't mind the commute, consider residing in SW Connecticut.
Greenwich to midtown is about 45 minutes. Of course, getting uptown can be a PITA. But, in Connecticut,
1) We have CCW.
2) You can bring your handguns with you when you move.

Sounds a little like an anti trying to draw out some replies that are going to get people in trouble. If he is smart enough he can look up the laws for himself as he must be very computer literate

If firearms are totally unobtainable what other options do I have that are legal? pocketknife? mace? tazer? walking stick?
I noticed the application instructions did not mention the letters of reference . . .when did they come up in your case, and how was it framed to you (i.e., "we need just a bit more info on you")
