It’s just as easy to get a residence permit in the city as anywhere else, just no carry. BUT, that’s for people without past issues.

I assumed he was looking for a carry permit, like the rest of the state gets. The permitting scheme is BS, making it damn near impossible in the city for a carry permit but allowing a residence permit is ridiculous. Might as well own a shotgun. Oh wait, I forgot you need to beg for permission to own them in the city too, right?
As much as I HATE NYC as a whole, they are treated more as second class citizens that the rest of us in the PRNY.

Why not? If I go to work everyday and come home and down a pint of vodka, why should my right to bear arms be infringed?

I'm struggling to find an amendment to the 2A that doesn't apply to those that like to consume alcohol.

You forget though, everyone is holier than thou in this state.

Exactly. I think this is a very overlooked fact. Many of us need to drink because we can literally die if we try to stop (delirium tremors, etc). However, it is not like we go around in a state of drunkenness. I would be more concerned about an alcoholic handling a weapon without alcohol.

Bullshit. If you want to stop drinking you will. No one doctor will tell you you cant stop drinking or you will die.

It's difficult to get a handgun/pistol permit in Manhattan/ NYC.
If you're an average joe citizen, do not expect to get a carry license in NYC ("carry" meaning having a firearm on your person when you leave the house/ apt.) NYC only issues CCW lic. to certain individuals depending on their occupation.
NYPD will assign you an investigator upon receipt of your application. You will be subject to an interview, fingerprinting and they will look into your history.
You (OP) said ... you went to "rehab and the hospital for my alcoholism several times throughout my life".
The application ask about hospitalization..? didn't you say you went to rehab & the "hospital" ^^.
As other's have stated, get caught lying on your appl. is automatic denial. imo, your chances of getting a license in Manhattan is very slim- none.

Although we are all Legal Experts on this site, you should consult a real Gun attorney in NYC to get the real Lowdown. if you are real serious about wanting to express your 2A rights!

That statement right there scares me. I’d be more co Verne’s about an alcoholic handling a gun without alcohol. Not the best theory.

Why would they be so low so long as I conceal the fact that I am an alcoholic?

I guess you had a few beers and missed the joke. 0.08% is the legal limit for dui in NYS. I’m really not trying to be a jerk.

The reason I stayed that your chances are so low in my opinion is that you claim your alcoholism is well Documented. That would kill it for you. People lose permits for dui’s

No one ever mandated that I do anything. I went to rehab 3 times over the past 20 years at my own discretion and failed each time I went.

I like this thread. OP. What is your drink of choice?

Now we are talking.

I just finished a classic martini. I like to make them at home occasionally. Had a bunch of Sam Adams and Brooklyn Lager this weekend for Sunmerslam and at Raw at Barclay (we went).
