What's up guys.
New to NYS, and new to firearms. Purchased my first rifle ~week ago, Yugo SKS. Unfortunately I've been into firearms since messing around with my grandfather's .22's in Maine as a kid but haven't been a financial position to really dive into it myself until recently.

Just wanna give a shoutout to the userbase here, you guys have been a great resource for a newcomer researching this topic.
Cheers!

New to NYS? GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN!

Now you have to wait 5+ years to get a pistol permit. Plenty of time to build up your rifle/shotgun collection and save up $$$.

Welcome! I'm a member of the Camden Rod & Gun Club, there are a few other members here as well ( @wizrd & @1911guy ) and @Doc8404 is from CNY as well.

Gratuitous raffle pimping: Camden Rod&Gun Annual Raffle

Hold up are you kidding? What does that mean, I need to be a resident for 5 years before being eligible to buy a pistol?
I mean, I'm from Mass originally so I'm used to bullshit laws but hot damn that's insane.

As for that club I'll look into it. From the Syracuse area so I need a good local club to join.

Oneida County you need to have (4) references from the same county who have known you 5+ years. Your county (Onondaga?) might be different; Oneida County has been running 6-9 months for Pistol Permit approvals; I sold a pistol of mine a year ago to someone in Syracuse-area, he got his Permit in 6 weeks.

Anyway, good luck!

Onondaga does require character references. Must live in the same county, cannot be a relative or live in same residence. No requirement on how long you have known the person.
