these limitations are HIGHLY dependent on the issuing county. as a general rule most rural counties issue all or mostly "unrestricted" permits while the larger towns and urban areas put "restrictions" on permits. As noted above it is NOT ilegal to carry outside your restriction, it is a violation of the permits administrative rules, so again if caught and an issue made of it, you can lose your permit which in NY means you can't own a handgun at all. Unless you get in a gunfight or commit a crime or are seen carrying there have been few if any cases of problems with carrying outside of restrictions.-Let me explain-you CAN carry concealed under the restrictions- so you are going to or from your hunting area,gun club etc.-legal to carry -Never heard of a cop taking exception with a permit holder who was forthcoming with info. Not saying it can't happen obviously. And most permit agenices provide a letter of code of conduct if you will when you get your permit indicating it's not a good idea-not illegal mind you to carry in bars resturants liquor stores etc. I strongly advise against leaving a gun in a car- most counties if the car is stolen or the gun stolen from the car will see this as ground to revoke pistol permit
