Yes on the 365x and 365xl !

Yeah was thinking of looking at the Shield either compact or micro compact. I'd like to see how they shoot first so have to check with local shops and see if they have a way to test pistols. I also have a GL 42 which is a 380 as well but like the LCP, not sure it has stopping power and its all...

Yes that is the biggest issue I have; trying to conceal a firearm on my person and feel comfortable doing it. I have a 9mm but its not practical for me to carry- kind of big for me. I am looking at concealable 9's and holsters but so far have not decided. Maybe a small wheel gun, 38 cal, 5 shot...

Well yes I do practice and no I did not get the permit to brag. I live in NY remember and had a premises/target permit for over 10 years as well as belong to a range here in Nassau County. I'm older now, not as spry (or strong) and with the degradation of life here in NY, felt the need to have...

That's for sure; the LCP is all over the place when shooting it and I'll be looking for something bigger that shoots better. I don't have a large frame so need to see how it will feel hooked on my belt. The LCP fits in my pocket so very concealable and unnoticeable.

True and I belong to local range so that's not an issue. I imagine I'll get used to it just was wondering how others felt when they first got theirs. I'm in southeastern NY after all and we've been denied the right for so long!

Not a bad idea; I work from home and its just me and the mrs. so could do that .

Yeah when I had it with me it was all I could think about. I was not yet comfortable with it.

Well, I did receive my CC permit about two months ago and so far have carried....once. I'm not sure what others have done or felt about it but for me its odd; and taking time to feel the need to do it. I have a small Ruger LCP 380 so it carries well, with no concealment issues so that's not...

well, um yes it was required here in Nassau and yes this county is basically a Repub county so go figure. So you say I shouldn't have done it? Not really an answer if I wanted the CCW, which I now have. Is it fukked up? Is the sky blue in your world?

Yes we are supposed to be happy that the government has deemed us the right to protect ourselves ! (sarc)

You got that right !

Just a quick followup to my submission for upgrade to CCW- just received a call from NCPD that permit was ready. So it took from August 2023 to January 2024 to finish - about 5 months.. Also since my permit was expiring in March they reissued a new one,had to pay $210 and new license is only...

The only thing "illegal" about that is not paying the sales tax. Yep, sounds weird but its true for any product that you buy and did not pay NYS sales tax on. That was a big thing years ago with NYC people going to Jersey and buying clothes, appliances etc.

Just completed my submission of carry concealed upgrade yesterday. Found a lab for the Nassau County test and $119 later got my results. They say they send directly to NCPD but had to bring them along with my notarized statement and certificate of the gun safety course to police plaza in...
