In NYC, any masochist can apply for a gun permit. The labyrinthine, invasive and expensive vetting process was designed by bureaucratic sadists to discourage the general public from ever attempting it. On that level, it works.
Even applicants who pass extensive background investigations can ultimately be rejected for reasons that are not explained and for which there is no appeal. Moreover, if you get turned down, that fact alone can be used against you in unrelated matters. And just so you know, if you are an average upstanding American citizen with a clean record seeking a ‘concealed carry’ permit, your chances are zero to none.

What gun?
Did you lose yours fishing too?
That Yankee dog won’t hunt in the South. :-)

Exactly. After the dog ate my homework, he ate my gun too.
I sold all mine to patriots through the “gun show loophole,” and they were scary guns, too.

Same in New Jersey. If you are not politically RAT connected or in law enforcement, no go.
No. We live in Texas for a reason.
If you are found in possession of a firearm here, no matter how legal or vetted you or your weapons are elsewhere, you will find yourself face down sucking concrete. You will be charged with felony gun possession and looking at the possibility of serving 3 to 5 hard time.

Being a resident of Texas, I can hardly even imagine such brutality for the mere fact of possessing a firearm. That penalty is no different than locking someone up for possessing a mouth.
As far back as I can remember, I've never had any affinity for New York City, and have never had the slightest desire to visit there. After reading that, I just shake my head and add another line to the list of reasons why.
I never lost any in a boating accident. I follow the Constitution. I will not comply will unlawful “laws”
They can go and F themselves.
I'll amen that. My last visit to New York City was in the 1970s. I will never go there again, neither will I patronage any business in a state in which I cannot carry. Screw 'em.
