NYS Judges have the discretion to issue several different types of permits: Business Premises only, Business Only, Target shooting and Hunting Only, Premises only or unrestricted. There may be others but the NY Appellate Courts have given wide discretion to judges as far as issuing and revocation is concerned. The statute itself does not provide for different classes of licenses but the common law has developed these classifications. Want to challenge the denial, revocation, or supension of a permit in NY? There is a judicial procedure for doing so but be prepared to spend a lot of money for a process which is almost certainly bound for failure. Great deference is paid to the discretion of the Judge by the Appellate Division where the case will be heard.
Don't forget to apply for Utah and Florida non-resident licenses. Take a 5 hour classroom course from a Utah certified instructor (no live fire required), fill out a pretty simple pair of apllications, get your prints taken at a cop shop (for the FL license) and send them in. If you have a clean criminal record the licenses will be issued which will be recognized in just about every state in the nation (best to check before you go there). However, those licenses will not be recognized in NY. NY recognizes NO OTHER STATE'S license, hence....no state will recognize NY's license. (go figure)
Then here in NY we have the "assault weapon" ban and the ban on magazines manufactured after 1994 which will hold more than 10 rounds (except for tubular magazines on .22 rimfire rifles which are OK).
