lizz Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 What's it like to move to New York City with guns. How do I do it. Is there any place to shoot USPSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 (edited) NO !!! Actually, it can be done, but it's tricky. Especially for handguns. Places to shoot on Long Island (the LI Expressway is called a 75 mile long parking lot:)) Probably a lot simpler for shotguns and skeet/trap shooting. Don't forget, no mags with more than 10 rounds (rifle or pistol) - don't even consider bringing hi cap mags into NYS. Someone who actually lives in NYC will be along soon with more details. Are you actually going to live in NYC (Manhattan, Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens or SI)?? Or in a suburb? Actually, Pennsylvania and Connecticut used to be much better states - not sure about CT now, since that school shooting few years ago.

lizz Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 I'm just thinking about it. It's for a job. Not because I want to live there or anything like that. PA is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bockerSV Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Gun wise it will be much easier living outside of the city and commuting. There's plenty of shooting in the NY area. I'm up around Rochester so I don't really get out that way regularly, but here's the area 7 schedule for the year to atleast give you a feel for what clubs are active in the area. http://www.uspsa7.org/els/2015%20schedule.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facilities are great and the guys are great. BUT, I never went back - couldn't face another ride on the Long Island Expressway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valerko Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 NYC suck. Unlike most other states , NY is complicated .Depending on county you live in , if you finally do get a pistol permit and are "allowed" to have one , your permit expires as soon as you hit city limits. It's pretty much impossible for regular person to get pistol permit in city. Soooo, I repeat NYC Suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks even more then just NY state Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshoot Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I can not imagine any job being worth the sacrifices. Money will never buy one happiness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZinSC Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 I lived 20 miles north of NYC for 30+ years. Finally got a job that enabled me to travel and see there is so much out there ( and BETTER ) than what you will find in NY. It's only getting worse. I moved to SC and can't ever see myself leaving. When I go back to NY to visit my parents, i enjoy the time i spend with them, but count the minutes until i can leave and go back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 NY and NYC are two different planets in two different dimensions, sadly both ruled by the same evil overlords. Upstate NY is a beautiful place with wonderful people. NYC is actually a nice place to visit and has some really nice people, The museums and much of the architecture is worth the pain of going there. Sadly the 5 counties plus the bordering counties and parts of CT overshadow the rest with their utopian/socialist/extreme left viewpoints and Upstate suffers. If one could only cut along the dotted line and tow the City (and certain parts of SW CT and NE NJ) out to sea. So the answer to your question, New York Maybe? Is WHY?????

Nimitz Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 New York CITY? Unless you are LEO or a criminal forget about it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Norman Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 There are some really fantastic places to visit, but I have to admit, I stick to the main areas, get in and get out. Rockefeller Center The NY Public Library Bryant Park Grand Central Station The Museums The new and much cleaned up Times Square Macy's at Christmas Radio City, take the back stage tour. See if you can do that when you can get to the actual stage workings. Not really a place I need to or want to be in more than very occasionally.
