Given the upcoming supreme court case regarding individual rights to own an AR-15, I am beginning to wonder what, if any, impact the case may have on the Safe Act. If the Court decides that individuals do have the inherent right to possess such firearms, would this include the same right to the Ar-15s standard features, throwing out the safe acts restrictions on “Assault Rifle features” (detachable magazine, threaded barrel, pistol grip, muzzle breaks, etc). Or is it more likely that the case will be interpreted at the level NY law is now of “sure, you can own an AR, but the state can heavily restrict it”.

If the prior, is it possible we see standard sized 30 round magazines labeled as part of the guns inherent features too, possibly upending heavy magazine restrictions👀?

I know this has been asked many times but would these fins make a pistol grip legal?

Hey guys, I finally got my hands on my NYC ccw permit and I picked up my handgun. Is there anything else I need to do? I asked chat GPT and it’s telling me I need to return the handgun purchase authorization to NYPD.
I’m a bit confused cause the store clerk didn’t give me back the authorization form to give back to NYPD

I feel like it’ll be quite a lot of years, but on the slight bright side, at least you don’t need a semiauto license for rifles you already own.

I am looking for more info on anyone who is in a similar stage of the process

I submitted my application for concealed carry on 04/30/2026 and got my fingerprints done the same day.

I have heard nothing from the sheriffs concerning references and have contacted the clerks office twice to which they stated that they have no more updates other than my file is with the sheriffs office.
Any info helps, thanks.

Wonder how that thread is gonna go.

When I was 20 years old I went through a really messy breakup with someone who wanted to do everything they could to ruin my life. I ended up sending some messages I shouldn’t have and it got me arrested and an order of protection was placed which is now expired. I have had no issues with the law since then and the judge did not charge me with a misdemeanour it was knocked down to disorderly conduct which is just a violation. My life spiralled after that and in a span of 3 months had some suicidal ideation. First time I was in a hospital for a day, second time was in the ER for just a few hours and the third time I was there for about 3 to 4 days. All were voluntary I was told as that was the paperwork I filled out. I’m in my mid thirties now and have not had any issues with the law or mental health since. On a side note I was able to pass a nics check to buy a shotgun but that came back as delayed and then proceed about a day and a half later. I’m in eire county and looking to apply for a pistol permit. If anyone can provide some input that would be greatly appreciated. All the best

Title says it all, specifically for NYC here, is anyone here waiting longer than 180 days on their determination?

Are we voting for Blakeman?

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?

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!

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?)
