I agree with the stupidity of the LI pistol licenses. It infuriates me that I can only carry to & from the range (especially after waiting 38 weeks for the darn thing in the first place). What good does that do me? My upstate sister, on the other hand, has full carry (as we all should) - so if she were to visit me on Long Island, she’s able to carry here while I still can’t. I still love shooting my pistols, though, so it was worth it to me to get the license.

I love photography & used to enjoy going to the arboretum & beach during the off season to take pics (especially early in the morning, when no one else is around). But once those bodies started popping up along the south shore beaches a couple of years ago, I realized just how vulnerable I am out there - so I’ve given up those early morning photography walks. If I could carry, it would even the odds - but my life is apparently not as valuable as Bloomberg’s or the other “favored ones”.

My husband & I are trying to get out of NY by the end of the year. We’ve had it. (To get us through the interim, we just completed the Utah Concealed Carry course, so we can at least carry in a number of other states - not just our own.)

Best of luck to you on your house search. We’re stuck here for a few more years, but I suspect it will be sooner than either of us imagined.

My hubby’s LEO colleagues want me to challenge the carry laws here (in court). If I didn’t have a house to run, a kid to homeschool, and another one in Catholic high school to shuffle around, I’d consider it. But the thought of the YEARS it would take to wind its way through the system makes my head hurt. When would I have time to fold LAUNDRY? LOL

I think I’ll just wait until we can get the heck out of here, and then I won’t have to deal with idiot NY pols anymore.

Regards,

PS: Let me know what state you end up in; we’re always on the lookout for good places to relocate.

How do you apply for a Utah Concealed carry permit, living in another state? I live in MN with a Permit to Carry, and would like to get a Utah Concealed Carry permit as well?
