So other than immediate approval, the process I have to go through as part of my retirement is exactly the same as any NYC civilian.

Holy shit! This sucks balls.

I can skip all this and keep my guns based on HR218 alone, but then I won't even be able to buy ammo in NY, definitely not another gun. Plus NJ is weird with 218 and I am there very often. This process sucks ass.

I can't wait to be able to modify my Glocks back to normal though finally lol.

You can still buy ammo in the State. Maybe not the shitty, but everywhere else in the State.

Those of us who live in the city can't. Not all jobs allow that. I think NYPD who live outside the city can.

They'll have it ready for my actual retirement date anyway. I'm not off the books until at least 9/30, maybe 10/30.

I own all my handguns based on LEOSA and I have never had any trouble buying ammo. I haven't tried buying a handgun.

No good citizen should have to go through this. This is insane.

Lol. Well ... the immediate approval part of your process saved you a ton of paperwork, ... running around, ... money, ... and nine months of bureaucratic hoop jumping or judge waiting ... often endured by the good citizens in this god foresaken state to get their permit.

Again, congratulations on your upcoming retirement.

So no downsides in your opinion? I may go that route. What about armed employment?

My friend Jim has been out for 5 yrs and never got a permit, just his HR 218.He's in Fla now,but he hasnt had any problems.I think it would be a problem if he wanted to buy a gun in NY but he never tried and has no intention of buying one,here or in Fla.While he was still in NY he was doing armed security at the Empire State building for a while,dont think he had any issues with the 218

My dad retired and is working part time for a small town. They shutdown qualifications due to Covid and his last city won’t allow him to qualify u see their umbrella because he works for a new department. He is a resource officer and since schools shutdown they wanted him to go back in the road. He said no. So he’s technically a cop but they won’t give him a badge at his new department because he hasn’t qualified. He’s not working so is he still really a cop? He’s just part time at will employee. Crazy stuff happens ABG. I’d get the permit if you can.

If your Dad is a retired police officer who meets all the requisites, he doesn't have to qualify at a police department. He can contact Rochester Personal Defense, LLC - Home and make arrangements to qualify there. They hold qualifications every month.

That’s good to know. I had no idea private ranges could do that.

The way the law reads, any person who can conduct qualifications for law enforcement officers can conduct qualifications for the purposes of LEOSA. Last I knew, Rochester Personal Defense has at least one such guy who moonlights for him.
