New York question

[ISCS Yoda]

Second Amendment aside (and agreed, that's a big thing!) NYS has a lot to offer.
Why am I still here after retirement? Mainly because our children both live and work here and both are vested in the pension system. Staying close to the kids and grandchildren.

Some years ago my niece, who then lived in NYC and now lives in New Jersey, asked me during one of my many visits why I didn't move back to New York. I told her "There's nothing for me here". She replied, "Your whole family is here", to which I replied, "That is not enough".

That includes a twin brother, nieces, a grand-niece and 2 grand- nephews, a daughter and two grandsons. Plus various other relatives. My point being that you don't always make your life decisions dependent on where your family is - some folks do and more power to them. My lifestyle doesn't allow for New York City to be a place to live. Or anywhere upstate for that matter.

…….. NY also has no procedure to obtain JUST a semi auto rifle permit.

The procedure to obtain just a SemiAuto Rifle license is to fill out the
NYS P/P application that now also covers the SA Rifle permit.

That NYS application is now re-named and printed as :
State of New York
Pistol/Revolver Application
Semi-Automatic Rifle Application

Here's part of the FAQ and answ.

3) I do not have a Pistol/Revolver Permit but would like to apply for the Semi-Automatic Rifle Permit.
You will need to fill out a Pistol/Revolver/Semi-Automatic Rifle Application and submit it for the standard process of a background check and consideration by the licensing officer. You are not required to apply for a Pistol/Revolver License in order to obtain a Semi-Automatic Rifle permit, but do have that option.

Do not fill out the portions of the Application that pertain to a Carry Concealed Permit unless you wish to apply for one. There is no training requirement for a Semi-Automatic Rifle permit however, applications indicating a desire to apply for both a Carry Concealed and Semi-Automatic Rifle permit must meet all the new requirements in State Law for a Carry Concealed Pistol/Revolver Permit.

This process will take between 6-12 months.

With so many jurisdictions and Licensing Officers covering all of NYS, down here in Suffolk County, which has its own non-generic pistol license application, we have yet to see such application for a semi-automatic rifle.
But, that could change tomorrow. In the meantime here a pistol license application takes 12-18 months to process for approval.
