How hard is it to get your pistol permit

[TheOctane]

This is the same as the MSP telling you you're approved for a handgun purchase by telling you "Not Disapproved"

only not...cause he has his permit and he can carry anywhere/anytime

only not...cause he has his permit and he can carry anywhere/anytime

I understood that part. My point was that the instructions given to him would allow carry anywhere. The restriction was in effect no restriction, like not disapproved.


capiche?

I think a lot of us can look at our restrictions and make an argument for nearly full-time carry. I imagine if you are doing something really dumb (Raven's game) you are hosed. First, an officer has to see your weapon, then he has to decide it is worth his time to push the issue.

No LARGE sums of money are required. Not sure where people get that from..... I was never asked how much money or was told it had to meet some secret $criteria$ to be approved....

Hate to disagree, but right on page 1 of the app., specifies ;
a) "owner or employee of a business",
(i) Making deposits.......(6) random deposit slips....
(ii) Cash Flow......(10) receipts showing purchases.....

Other categories for permit applicants are;
b) Professional Activities: Doctors, Pharmacies etc
c) Correctional Officers
d) Former Police Officer
e) Private Detective etc
f) Personal Protection: There must be documented evidence of recent threats, robberies, and/or assaults, supported by official police reports or notarized statements from witnesses.

My post was a little bad on punctuation but what I said is true.. It doesn't say large sums of money... I have a permit and it was never asked or brought up as any kind of issue, only that there was cash flow in and out and that I made cash deposits... During the interview I told him some days it's nothing, some days it can be a lot, in those words... The only paperwork I gave them was copies of a few pages of a bank statement and it didn't say what was cash and what was charges....

My point is that it's not as hard as many people say, but you do have to meet their criteria. Pretty much anyone who makes cash deposits, owns a company or has permission from their boss & can legally own a firearm can get a permit here. Trust me I'm not saying our setup is a good one.... Peoples cash should not be more important than us being able to protect ourselves. And once you get a permit for cash reasons you're also restricted to carrying while your transporting cash or to and from work. Like a would be robber actually knows when you have money in your pocket and when you dont....

Now trying to get one for personal protection is a whole different story, like I said.

For those who are down on Bob Ehrlich, MSP attended two CCW seminars sponsored by AGC, the first in April and the other in October, 2006. Public interface on such a hot topic could not have been possible without the Governor's approval.

Part of the discussion involved complaints from "small-time" merchants who didn't meet the current large sum requirement. Colonel Hutchins said that seemed unfair and it's my understanding the rules were changed accordingly.

Plans for more such meetings died with O'Malley's election in 2007.

great I was afraid of that. There is now way I will be able to go from carrying all the time to not being able to carry when ever.

If I can ask, how did you get a NY CCW?? I hear they are harder to come by than MD's.
