A friend of mine has a Michigan CPL. He travels to New York on occasion. He has been leaving his handgun at home, which is unfortunate.

My question is where he stands with his CPL once he enters New York ? He's able to carry through reciprocity agreement with other states he drives through but what about NY ?

Thanks,

D.W.

No reciprocity. Generally, it is unlawful for any person to carry, possess or transport a handgun in or through the state unless he/she has a valid New York license (FOPA and competition exemptions aside).

So he couldn't even disarm before crossing into NY by enclosing his pistol in the truck ? May an out of state resident apply for a NY license and possess while in NY on business ?

If his final destination is NY state, no.

NY does not issue non-resident licenses.

Wow, ok thanks. Has upstate New York ever considered seccession from NY City ? : )

N.Y. thinks it is it's own country and gives reciprocity to no state. Sad, but that is the way it is.

Many times. At least for me.
It is rather sad that one lone city has the political power to dictate how the rest of the state functions. You get 10 million anti gun liberals all packed onto one island and they seem to think that it's ok for them to tell the other 10 how things should be throughout the rest of this vastly conservative rural state. Makes alot of sense.

It is my understanding thru a lot of forum reading (I have not read the laws directly) that it is possible for an out of state business owner with business interests in NY to get a CCW permit.

Non-resident licenses are undefined in NY law, not forbidden so if you can make your case to the right judge you may prevail. Judge shopping is frowned upon.

I have not read anything directly from some one who has

(prevailed).

They use to, but the judge who was running that mail order operation was informed he lacked jurisdictional authority to do so by the county law department. I can prove this to anyone who doubts me, but it will cost you some food at a Chinese restaurant after some range time. Although the NY permit did not have a space for an expiration date, the judge had one typed in the margin of all non-resident permits he issued (mine expired in 1999, and does indeed bear a MA address).

There are rumors of "connected" people obtaining licenses based on temporary, or "one house of many", type addresses in NY.
