It is alleged that a NYC permit involves a hefty (perhaps $3000) honorarium to the right party via lawyers that are particularly versed in the process.

I never had to do it, but then again, neither did Bernie Goetz... and look what happened to him!

Bernie was from near where I lived in Dutchess County. He had a business of buying and selling surplus electronic instruments and carried large amounts of cash around Manhattan and the rest of NYC.

He was attacked, permanently injured and saw his mugger get off with a slap on the hand.

By any accounts, he should have qualified for the NYC carry permit. He refused to pay the required honorarium, and never received one.

Subsequently he defended himself from an attack with an unregistered handgun, and suffered massive consequences.
