We're looking to buy a house in Putnam County. I know that NY is a "May Issue" state. I have no felony record or criminal record of any kind. What are the chances of a citizen being granted a CCW permit in Putnam County?
Are Concealed Carry Permits Issued in Putnam County

Do you currently have a permit?
Putnam is 2A friendly.
Check the sheriff's website for current info on what permits are issued and what hoops are involved.

I don't have a permit. Thank you for letting me know about the Sheriff's website. I took a look at the application from the website and it looks like this isn't a "real" CCW permit. Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology? I think of a CCW as a means of self defense when I leave my home for any reason. Not only when fishing, camping, at a range, running a business etc. I see there's an unrestricted carry, but I'm not a peace officer. Is there something I'm missing here? Is there an "unwritten" excuse that citizens in Putnam county use to carry when they aren't engage in some other activity that allows them to carry?

You get a restricted first and then petition to get it amended to ccw after about six months.

I haven't looked at it lately but somewhere in there you should be able to find the criteria for an upgrade to unrestricted, which is what you'd be looking for. Back in the day it was 1) get your permit 2) wait six months and do a live fire course (oh and buy and take pictures of a bolted down safe) and then 3) apply for unrestricted.

If you're not committed to Putnam County, come across the river to Orange. I'll make you a deal on a 3/2.
Oh, and Judge Freehill handles permit applications for T/Newburgh residents. I've heard stories of some getting unrestricted on the initial permit. No personal experience with this though.

I got an unrestricted from Freehill right of the bat back in 2011when I lived in Goshen. It took him about a year and a half to sign it after the sheriff investigators sent it to his desk.

The answers to 4 and 5 for Putnam are:
Six months.
Doesn't matter where your references are from.
Well, actually, the State Constitution of NY, does NOT contain a 2A... Just sayin, lol

It does. It is in section 4 of the civil rights law.

Thank you for the offer
but we were looking in Putnam because she works in the city and would be taking the train everyday. Since we're on the subject, do you know how long it takes the train to travel from Orange county to NYC?

Thank you for the offer
4,000 years. I wouldnt even consider taking the train from there.
I work(ed) in midtown prior to the covid. Cortlandt train station to GCT is under an hour. Door to door my daily was about 3 hours but includes driving to the train, waiting on trains, driving home.
But you should buy 1075's house so he can stop smacking me down for being a Putnam booster in these threads, lol.

I'm on Long Island and been living in this particular home for about 7 years. As you know, Long Island is almost as bad as NYC. We want out of here. It's getting too congested as far as traffic goes, cost of living is absurd, etc.

Lol. Thank you for the reply about traveling. We're trying to find a house not too far from a train station to cut down on at least that part of the commute.
She says she wouldn't mind a long commute. Right now we're closer to the city looking on the map but it takes her over an an hour because of all of the stops along the way. She has a friend that moved to Poughkeepsie and she takes the train to the city. I just know that after the novelty of buying a house wears off, she's going to regret that long commute. Plus having to spell "Poughkeepsie" on every document I have to sign, card I send by mail, etc is too much of a hassle. I wonder if I could just abbreviate it to "Pough", If I could do that, then I might consider moving up there.
I know you don't want publicly state where you live but could you give me an idea of what county you're in now? And what do you think of it? I lived on Long Island most of my life and the city for a short time. Growing up, we considered upstate anything past the Bronx lol. But when we would go camping up in the Catskills, or even if I drive up to Monroe, I wonder where everyone works in these upstate areas because I don't see many office buildings. I assume most people make that long commute to the city? And if that's true, I can only imagine the toll it takes on someone. On the one hand, the taxes on Long Island are absurd so that affects the quality of life. Then on the other hand, if you move further upstate, you have absurd commutes to the city which also takes it's toll. And I'm finding that the prices of houses and taxes in Westchester are just as bad as those on Long Island.

Train runs out of Beacon in Dutchess County or Salisbury Mills/Cornwall in Orange. If driving, less than 1 mile to I-84 and I-87. 4 miles to Stewart Airport. Just about an hour to Westchester County airport, a little more to Albany.

OK, I'll take a look at the train schedules to see how long the commutes are. Living further upstate is new to us so we have no idea of the commute times. All we were told is that if varies and we just starting looking for a house.

We used the MTA train station map as a rough guideline when we were looking; we pretty much looked at nothing in Mahopac, for example, because the drive to a train would be too long.
We had considered going even further north and getting way more property but knew that the added commute would just kill the whole thing for us. What we paid in southern Putnam probably would have gotten us twice or moreso the land but who cares if you're never there? Of course now I"m home all the time so I occasionally do a little window shopping online...

Beacon is about 15 - 20 minutes to the station from here but I'd plan 30 for parking etc.
