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...
