Counties That Issue Unrestricted Permit?

[BDinPutnam]

Right now, no counties are issuing any kind of permit or amendment. During normal times though I think it's possible to get an unrestricted permit from any upstate county. Sounds like it depends mostly on the judge you get than anything else. Even Albany county, which is probably one of the most anti gun counties in upstate, has been known to issue unrestricted. Mostly what I hear is having to apply for an amendment in a year or two to get unrestricted, usually after taking the concealed carry course. I know some people who got unrestricted first time though. One had a good reason, not something a typical person would have, another just said "because I want it" and got lucky.

Oops, wrong.

Do I Qualify As A Retired Law Enforcement Officer??

Pretty much same situation, so I would have to contact the local county representative, explaining the situation to them, have their lawyer review the federal/state statutes and write an opinion letter addressed to PL.

OP. I would choose Dutchess county. You get unrestricted off the bat. You have metro north to go to the city and connect to Long Island railroad if need be. Somewhere around Fishkill or Wappingers Falls is a good location.

Rah, I’ll look more into that. When transferring my license from Suffolk to any other county in NY I wouldn’t have to go through the whole process again, I’m assuming I’d just wait for the new one with proper information correct? Doesn’t Orange County give unrestricted off the bat?

I dont disagree entirely but Putnam is closer if you commute to NYC.

I dont know current state of play on unrestricted though. Generally a 2A friendly county govt though.

Correct, for new applicants who are DC residents. For those transferring their restricted permits from elsewhere to DC (unless recently changed) your permit will be restricted for ~ a year. After that a simple change to unrestricted w/o any BS.

Depends which judge receives your application.

Called them a few hours ago they said as long as I don’t have any mental illness and have a clean record and give them a reason why.
