Chode,
I was at the Greateful Dead Allman Brother concert at R.F.K.stadium in 73. Dead played first on Sat. and they switched for the Sunday show adn the Allman Brothers played first.
I saw your poster on your about page.

You say you’ve been around guns your whole life. In N.Y.?
We always hear of dreadful stories when ya get caught with a gun in N.Y. even when trying to protect yourself. Can you clue us in?
N.Y. gun laws?

don't confuse the city with the state... i live on SenecaLake in WestNewYork where the concert was held(see the pic of the lake) and i have a NY-CCW but it's not valid inside the city.

to get a permit outside the city you need (this was at the time i got mine many moons ago)

three personal references,

your pics and prints taken

then they run you thru NCIC/NIX etc.

then it goes to the probation department for a psychological profile,

then the local sheriff has to sign it,

then the local judge has to sign it.

takes from six weeks to six months depending on where you live.

a handgun course might be a requirement now too, don't know.
