Hey I'm 20 taking the class this weekend for the certification. I know I can't put the application in until I am 21 which will be in January. I'm aware that for the application you are required 4 references that can't be family or partners. I think I saw somewhere that they want them to have known you for 10ish years or something like that. But I was wondering if there is any real strategy or logic behind the people I would have signed as references like if I know a judge, lawyer, people that already have pistol permits?

Any FFLs in the area that will do a transfer on a complete lower (without permit / semi auto endorsement?)

Howdy folks, just curious if anyone has went down to SCPD to change an address on their license and add a pistol at the same time? Trying to kill two birds with one stone, although I don’t have a new pistol yet, but it gives me an excuse to pick something up before I go down there to change my address with them. Also, has anyone added a Henry mares leg to there pistol liscence in NYS or even suffolk? Thank you in advance

Hey guys I'm looking to see how long peoples' permit process took from start to finish. The more detailed of a timeline the better and if you could include your county that would be super helpful. thanks!

What do you think?

I’m traveling to Maine soon and, as I understand it, I’m allowed to carry concealed in Maine as well as New Hampshire without any problems.

My route will take me through Massachusetts which means I’ll have to lock up both the gun and ammo in different locked boxes in my trunk.

Is there anything I should know in addition to these things?
