David,

I lived in NY state for many years. In Dutchess County, the local county sheriff handled the permitting process. Forms, photographs, fingerprints, multiple character endorsements and registration of every pistol. After a suitable bureaucratic time period (many months, as I recall) my permit arrived, was registered by the sheriff's office and I got to transport my pistols in from Illinois where I had lived prior to NY.

Valid outside NYC, it's a concealed carry permit. NY is very all or nothing in their approach to the 2nd amendment.

If you're interested in older collectible firearms, consider getting your own Class 03 (Curio and Relic) Federal Firearms License. You'll get back the $30 three year fee in discounts that most of the online and some in person dealers will extend to you. It makes buying and selling qualified firearms much easier...

David, The C&R license is a very good idea but remember that it will not authorize you to possess a handgun in NY State. Only NY State can issue the permit and NY does not recognize any other state's license.

I just bought an Interarms P.08 for shooting. Got it in .30Luger (7.65 Parabellum) and it is great fun to shoot. As previously mentioned it is the caliber that the weapon was first designed to shoot and with the more moderate recoil than the 9mm you might enjoy it a bit more for a first handgun, although truth to tell, my suggestion to new pistol shooters is to pick up a .22 and practice, practice, practice. You can find Stoeger .22 Lugers around for very reasonable prices. I pay 21.00 for a box of factory .30Luger ammo. compared with a small fraction of that for .22 rimfire.

Regards,
Doug
