Silly, you say you live in Manhattan. To get a Pistol Permit (something you need to own one) takes an act of God, there. Substituting your address will be detected and will be used as a reason to deny. Be aware of all this.
Laz, my former boss, a good friend, is a legal gun owner in NYC. It does happen.
While that is pretty convoluted, up here in the Great White North you have to get the federal permit to own any firearm, a second permit for a handgun (the two permits can be combined on a single wallet card) and before you are allowed to actually purchase a handgun you have to prove membership in a gun club.
After those hoops, then you have to apply for a permit to transport said firearm to and from the range. Oh, and the handgun MUST be registered, no barrels under 4 1/4”, either.
You can’t even buy .22 longs without the PAL (possession and acquisition licence).
