Carry while driving in westchester

[Spero1468]

With a Target, hunting, Sports person carry license in Westchester, you're absolutely allowed to carry on your person when driving and when coming from or going to whatever your permit allows you to do. It is a carry permit, and not a premise permit. With a premise permit it is my understanding you are not allowed to carry it on your person. You have to transport it in a locked box from your premise to the range.

In New York state you are not required to inform an officer if you are pulled over for a motor vehicle infraction. There isnt any reason for anyone to know that you're carrying, unless God forbid you had to use it, or you had some sort of a motor vehicle accident where you were rendered unconscious.
In the unfortunate event that either one of those things happens, you probably have bigger problems to worry about, but if you're only worried about justifying why you're carrying then just make sure you can prove it.

I'm curious what you mean by premise permit? Isn't that just basically target or does it say "premise" on license?

They are a different type of permit.

"Target" permits are carry permits with administrative restrictions. Premise permits are not carry permits.

Except when your "licensing officer" (ie: the Judge) decrees that you must inform any police officer with whom you interact that you are carrying for fear that word will get back to said Judge who will then pull your permit for not following his decree.

one of the few things I'm not really happy about being in Orleans County, but compared to some of the horror stories I've read on here for Genesee and Monroe County I guess this is the best of a bad lot.

I heard about that, its BS.

To be fair, the odds of getting caught are pretty slim.

And the penalty is not "prison time" so maybe you want to take your chances.

You're probably OK with the local cops who are used to it, but I wouldn't volunteer that information to a trooper unless a search that would turn it up is imminent.
