Massachusetts issues Nonresident LTC - harder to get than a resident of a rural town but a LOT easier to get than a resident of Boston.
NY does not issue nonresident permits - at all - unless you have a business in NY, one where you go to work on a regular basis (no absentee owners).
Heading to NYC today. As I’ve been feeling more frequently in Biden’s America, I wish I could be packing…

John Hammond had the blacksmith in Crown Point NY make
A pistol for him to take in 1849 during the California gold rush. He carried that pistol all the way from NY State, up the Mississippi River. He describes in his book that all the deckboys (kids) on the the riverboat had pistols. He carried that same pistol with him in the Civil War in the N.Y. 5th Cavalry under Custer. I went to that blacksmith’s place when I was a kid, a house away from my grandmother. The book is in the Penfield Museum, Chilson NY.
The Bruen decision would seem to require that our Founders recognized some form of gun permits to make such a requirement legitimate. Is anybody aware of such long-standing permit requirements. I’m not.
