Nah, it's an onerous process but plenty of people have concealed carry permits in NYC.

Costly permit. Requires authorization by high-ranking NYPD. Only given out to people in certain jobs or with bribes. The only practice range is in Ridgeland. You're required to transport it in your own car, in the trunk, ammo separate from the gun, and only to and from the range. That puts it well beyond the reach of the vast majority of NYC residents.

The NYC carry permit is useless and designed that way so the city can lie to the courts and tell them people have the right to carry. You can't carry in like 90% of Manhattan even with the permit. Even carrying in your own apartment is prohibited without an additional permit.

  Nah - there's a premise permit that's needed if you only have it in your apartment and carry to the range, but the concealed carry is sufficient to have it in your apartment. And the "90%" of Manhattan you can't carry in is basically Times Square, bars and restaurants, festivals, churches, schools and government buildings.

    It was actually prohibited to carry on all forms of private property, until a recent court ruling struck it down. So if you can't carry on public transit, you can't carry it in government buildings, you can't carry it near schools and other public property, you can't use it on private property what is the permit for again? It's no different than how states used "Poll Taxes" and "Tests" to circumvent the 15th Amendment before the Civil Rights Movement. NYC thinks they are above the law and does everything they can to circumvent it.

      Yeah I'm not really interested in the debate around NYC carry laws and technically you're allowed to carry on buses but not trains, but it is certainly one of the most restrictive places in the country.
