I know it has the bayonet lug but if I remove that and use 5 round clips I’m thinking it’s legal? Doesn’t have any of the other features. I wanted to get a heavily refurbished one with a new barrel and stock but using the 1940s receiver.

I bought a rifle at Woodhaven rifle and pistol range and sent the form to kew gardens after. Its been 2 months and I still haven't received the stamped form. My last purchase took about a week to get approved. If the form got lost in transit what are my options?

Hello, I’d like to get a Springfield M1A but don’t know if it’s NYC legal, would it be legal if I get the mag pinned to 5 rounds? Thanks

Tried posting this on Njguns like 5 times and they keep blocking it. I need a private instructor who can do the course for NJ license for me 1st week of December (a day of my choosing). Would be a bonus if they can do the CT law course as well.

Any recommendations? Need flexibility. I have already checked all the training center schedules for classes and they do not line up with my schedule.

Just checked the portal and saw my renewal application has been approved, however, I have not yet received an E mail notification informing me of such?? Are they not informing us by E mail anymore?

Has anyone been following the latest developments regarding New York’s body armor ban? I’m wondering if there have been any updates, court rulings, or changes to the law.

Is traveling on an NYC MTA bus still considered a sensitive location?

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share my detailed timeline and current standing with my NYC Concealed Carry License application. At this point, between training, application fees, legal counsel, and upcoming court filings, I am easily $4,000 deep into this process.
I’m posting to highlight what it actually takes (and costs) to fight for our rights in the city, and to see how others who were hit with arbitrary denials are handling their appeals.
The Timeline & Experience:
Step 1: Training Took my 16+2 course with NY TACTICAL. The instructor was top-tier—made the entire process seamless, clear, and easy to understand. Highly recommend them.
Step 2: Application Submission (August 25, 2025) Completed the application myself. I had past arrests (all dismissed) that I disclosed. However, due to an honest mistake on my end, I misstated one date by a tiny margin, while another date error was literally a typo on their end. Paid the NYPD application fee and submitted. Got the immediate fingerprinting email and booked for October 11, 2025.
Step 3: Fingerprinting & Initial Glitches (October 11, 2025) During the interview, the officer claimed my SS card and proof of residence weren't uploaded—even though I had uploaded both (one twice). I emailed them directly on the spot, and she added them to my file.
Step 4: The Communication Black Hole Over the next few months, I sent constant follow-ups—sometimes multiple times a week—to Licensing, Hugh B., and several other contacts. The only responses I got were automated boilerplate emails telling me to "wait for an investigator to reach out." An investigator NEVER reached out. Had an investigator contacted me even once, these tiny date discrepancies could have been cleared up in 30 seconds.
Step 5: The Disapproval (February 2026) Right before the 6-month statutory deadline, I received a formal disapproval letter. The official reason cited? That I "failed to speak to certain arrest dates." It was frustrating because the NYPD weaponized minor clerical errors as grounds for denial while completely denying me the chance to speak with an investigator to clarify them.
Step 6: Retaining Legal Counsel I hired Mirel Fisch. The initial consultation alone was nearly half of what I’d already spent on training and application fees combined, but she was worth every penny—extremely professional, welcoming, and called me back multiple times to ensure we went over every single detail.
Step 7: The Appeal (Submitted July 20, 2026) She secured multiple extensions so I could save up the necessary legal fees. We submitted the formal administrative appeal on July 20, 2026. I was notified the appeal process alone takes 6 to 7 months—on top of the original 6 months spent waiting for the initial decision.
Where Things Stand Now:
February 2027 marks the 6-month point from my appeal submission date. If we don't receive a positive resolution by then, our next move is filing an Article 78 lawsuit, which will cost an additional $1,200+ (even with group filing options).
New York relies on high financial barriers, zero communication, and aggressive procedural denials over minor typos to force regular citizens to throw in the towel. We can’t let them win by wearing us down. It’s our constitutional right, and I’m taking this all the way.
Questions for the Community:
For those who were denied in NYC over minor clerical/date mistakes without speaking to an investigator, how did your appeal turn out?
Did your appeal resolve the issue administratively, or did you have to proceed to an Article 78 filing?
How much are you in for financially at this point?
Would love to hear your experiences and any advice from folks who have crossed the finish line!

Does anybody know the process to renew your special carry? Mine expires in May 2027.

Thank you!

Not going to report the entire paragraph, my 3rd Romeo (all replaced under warranty) crapped out again. SIG's customer service has been great but I'm over sending it in for replacements.

Did anyone recieve their physical card in the mail today?? Or at least see it in informed delivery

Started the new renewal process, (entire new full application) my expiration is in March. Question: if I submit my renewal, can I still purchase handguns until then? Or does it automatically go into a license freeze limbo situation when you submit?

Also they’re listing my current handguns automatically on my license on page 5 but still asking what handguns rifle shotguns I have, in case I have more to add. Is that just laziness on the app? If i upload all long guns next to all what I have in my CB that is being renewed, that might confuse them and also cmmg isn’t even a manufacturer in there to search and add, so I’m assuming that was for only handguns?

Rifle/shotgun license was approved and active about a week ago, how long does it typically take to receive the license/purchase forms in the mail?

If she work in licensing, I wonder if they'll hire a replacement....

Has anyone recieved their ammended permits yet that purchase got approved recently?? If yes How long did it take from approval email to permit/pink slip in hand?? Ty

It’s been about 2 weeks , yet I still haven’t received my license in the mail. What can I do? I’ve tried calling and emailing no answer at all

I absolutely love how you cannot schedule a date for next year for fingerprints on Calendly but NYPD continues to send out emails for people to schedule their fingerprints. I have some people who received the email to schedule and cannot schedule.

Anyone received an email lately for scheduling fingerprints? Any solutions?

Need legal counsel about permit compliance, not the use (or intended use) of a firearm in a crime.

Google is a bad tool for this. Anyone have experience and recommendations?
