    Default Moving to NY or Connecticut

    Can anyone help, I am moving to New York State or Connecticut in July, what do I need in terms of permits for long-guns and handguns. If I am just a competitive target shooter, and don't have any immediate plans to carry, do I need a pistol permit. I also have an AR15, it has a fixed stock, no flash hider or bayonet mount, does anyone know how the NY and Connecticut laws differ with regard to ownership of these?

    Thanks.

    Well, you've got to admit, these kind of questions are a bit frustrating when that NRA page is unavoidable if you type something like "gun laws NY CT" into google. Anyway, CRR, take a look at the gun law summaries you find at the link Cross-X gave and then come back if you have further questions.

    Fortunately, NY state has a "speedy permit law", and the licensing authority is required to notify you on this status of your application within 6 monthly of submission.

    No, it's not a joke - they really call it that. If you get lucky, you can get your handgun license in about 4 months. (They also have a state level restatement of the federal ban).

    Thanks for all your responses especially Cross-X's. Ok let's narrow my relocation down to two counties: Westchester in NYS and Fairfield in CT.

    If you had to choose between these two different states and counties where would you choose to live? I am competitive rifle and pistol shooter and want the widest hassle-free access to as many clubs and shooting competitions as possible irrespective of state.

    My vote is CT. No permit needed for long rifles. But I suggest that you register them with your local Police Dept. Good luck.

    Indeed. Why in the world would you want to register them? What possible benefit would that bring to you?
