Lol

OK, random question time. Everything is filled out on the FBI fingerprint card but I accidentally included the damn quotation marks for the height (' and "). Is that going to be grounds for Florida rejecting the card? I just don't want weeks to go to waste for some silly punctuation error. Any...

If it wasn't for the fact that I just moved, I'd be looking to move to another state. Even CT. is better off. For now however, I'll do my best to support the range. Get your messages out please and express your disappointment!

Thank you. Btw, the range suffered a small fire in the breaker box and it's been out of commission for more than a week now. The only reason the city is footing the bill to fix it is because the field lights above ground are powered by it as well. Otherwise, I'm sure Yonkers would have been more...

Hey guys, I'm posting just to get the word out. As of 4/1, the city of Yonkers suddenly changed the operating hours and days for Coyne. When I say suddenly, the guys who work there didn't know until they received the new pamphlets. Really low and underhanded of the administration. Some of you...

Yeah, the worst case scenario is nothing. It can only get better from where I'm standing right now.

It took less than two weeks to add my second pistol. That reminds me, I'll have to update the other thread with pictures! Anyway, with that amendment out of the way, I was considering submitting an amendment for the Sportsperson restriction. I got my hunter ed done (very informative btw)...

Well it IS Westchester. I wouldn't be surprised. It would be nice though, one day not having to justify exercising a Constitutional right and begging for a chance to enjoy what most other Americans experience without the said begging. Going to stay positive though and enjoy the hell out of it...

Finally got a 2nd pistol. Just have to wait a few weeks before I take it home. FUAC.

I totally started one already ;) My wife has been very supportive! I was actually referring to our respective family background, as in, they're both fairly anti gun or indifferent. I look terrible in dresses anyway.

Yeah, tell me about it!

I'll post a picture once I have it in my hands. Just takes a few weeks here in Westchester.

Lol, by family I meant my upbringing. The wife has been really supportive so that's cool. As for reaching 7 or 8, that may take a while longer. I did try out a limited edition Colt 1911 at the range last night and I think I know what the next purchase is going to have to be...

Got a H&K VP9SK, bringing my count up to two. Yeah, that's a rookie number but it's a big deal since I come from a family that couldn't care less about firearms. It's not a Shadow 2 or a Colt 1911 but it felt so good in my hands, affordable-ish and it was small enough to be a carry firearm...

Spoke with a nice lady from the PLU last week regarding that since there seems to be a lot of confusion. That's confusion caused by unapproved actions by powers that be within the unit that is. The restriction still exists. You just have to use the "generic attachment" and type/write...

I did read that last night but I was just confused since page 30 didn't mention the attachment specifically but referred to it as "and any additional forms, attachments or documents as deemed appropriate..." Many thanks for the help!

Thanks @TopShot. I appreciate the simple breakdown. As for #2 however, is the attachment in addition to the amendment form? Sorry if this is a question that is asked to death but I'm the type of person who needs to be 100% sure before doing something.

Hey Guys, Before I call the PLU, I thought I'd ask the community for information first. Besides, the office has closed for the weekend! 1. I am going to finally purchase a second pistol. Pretty exciting! After I pay for the firearm, do I just simply fill the...

I use their firing pin in my P-10C. I started seeing metal shards getting chipped off the original firing pin so I replaced it.

I read an update provided by WCFAOA and it mentioned the existence of the application. It's apparently not available through normal means (website). Just trying to get some more info. I'll quote the article later once I'm home.

OK guys, I have to ask. Is there an unpublished alternative amendment application for the "Sportsperson" restriction or is it just tin foil hat type conspiracy? Just want some thoughts or experience regarding that.

Got it. Thank you. The important thing is, I'm learning. At the slight cost of your collective sanity it seems ;)

Eh, I had to be general with the title since I had a few moving pieces in the background. I'm interested in hunting but PA. specifically. For the future, I want to hunt in NY and I'd rather get a lifetime license. I can't just move forward with the NY one since all the hunter education courses...

Sorry for the poor wording. I currently hold a Target permit in NY (Westchester County) and I'm looking to get a hunting licence for NY. DEC's website states that the lifetime hunting license will cost over $700.

Very informative. Thank you very much. I was afraid I'd have to bite the bullet and try getting my restriction removed. I was not going to attempt that for 5 more years.

Gotcha, thanks for the advice guys.

Sorry, hunting in PA.

Hey All, I've been reading up on hunting and hunting education lately. Since receiving my restricted license (Target), I've been taking up interest in all the different types of activities that involve firearms and naturally hunting came up. Right now I'm saving up for a permit for NY and I've...

Aw man, I'm sorry I'll be missing the fun!

Thank you. If I am contacted, I just may take you up on that.

Putnam County Fish and Game Association. I was informed by the membership secretary that there is a short wait list at this time and to submit a letter that includes some information regarding experience and the reason for wanting to join.

Yup, pistol.

My first few posts on this forum were about finding a range, or finding a club to apply membership to and finding some training. In the span of those few weeks, I've gone to a range, applied for a club membership (hoping for a short wait list) and took at least one class. I'm fairly confident...

I've had my pistol permit for only a few short months. Early on when I joined NY Gun Forum, a few older members recommended that I take some training classes. I'm glad I took that advice to heart. Trained with Ben of Onsight and he was a great instructor. He broke things down so any idiot can...

Damn. I do like the MantisX - my wife purchased it for me and I have no intention of getting rid of it but wow, the entire LASR setup looks like fun.

Welcome! I'm fairly new here myself. These guys are a great source of information. Attended Syracuse University in another lifetime...

Nice. Thanks folks!

I really want to hit up Blue Mountain today but looks like rain all day. Anyone know if the range will open today? I believe this is the last weekend before the month long break.

From attending the NRA safety course hosted by Blue Line to receiving the approval letter from the Clerks's office - 4 months. I was surprised too. Who knows, maybe the mid term elections had something to do with paperwork being pushed forward? Either way, I'm going to make the most of my new hobby!

I'm not familiar with the details but he did have to obtain a permit at some point - I didn't pay attention at the time as I really didn't have an interest in taking up firearms as a hobby. I spoke to him over the phone asking if he can come over to my neck of the woods to shoot and that's when...

Thanks for clearing that up with certainty. Is this something I shouldn't bother with or would it not hurt to pursue anyway since it isn't as difficult? After going through Westchester Cty's ridiculous process, CT looks like a walk in the park.

I have 1. Oh man I have some catching up to do!

Yikes. Thank you for the heads up. I'm going to my local PD - spoke with a detective there earlier. Luckily, I'm not in any hurry to get my permit for CT. Hope it goes well.

Understood. Thank you for the info @Calculon and @Bob.

Hey All, I'm in the process of filling out my non-resident pistol permit for CT. My brother is a LEO there and he let his NY permit to lapse so I'm planning on going over there to shoot with him. I have the packet, the office was very quick to send it out so that's great. However, one form or...

I made sure to transport the ammo in separate locked containers and the pistol in its retail case, also locked. The bag and ammo were in the on the floor and the pistol and case in the trunk area. I just made sure everything was out of reach and locked with those TSA approved travel combination...

Ah, gotcha. Had me all excited for a sec lol. Cool, I think I saw a Pearl River range come up in my searches. I'll keep that one in mind.

One more question. I just want to cover my bases. While driving, I will have ammo and gun stored away separately - trunk and glove or center console. How should I pack everything else? I do have a simple range bag but how should it be packed? Can I have the pistol, unloaded and without...

Wait, there's a range behind that mall?! First time hearing about it!

I actually called Blue Mountain and spoke with the facility manager - Ross I believe. He explained the park pass and I think there's value there since it covers all parks, including Playland - a lot of childhood memories there. I'll have to stop by the county center some time and get it. As...
