So as you all probably know, guns in NYC aren't easy to get by any measure and it only seems to be getting harder by the day. If I myself wanted to get a concealed weapon to carry for my own personal safety, what are my chances of being rejected if I were to go through the whole legal process of carrying a concealed firearm? To be plain and simple, I want a gun for my own personal protection.. and honestly, it's my second amendment right. But hey, I guess it's not always that easy.
Anyone here been through the whole process? Would greatly appreciate any information that could help me get through this strenuous process.
You mean a LEGAL GUN? Cause contrary to what you're stating here it's not hard to get yourself a gun in NY. Who told you that, and why do you believe it? I mean if you want a legal gun, yeah. But who wants one of those with all the restrictions placed on them?
Thanks for the informative post, I highly appreciate the thorough and well elaborated information. I myself am a law biding citizen and will say that I am highly disappointed that the law has come this far. Again, in our US constitution, it is stated in the 2nd amendment, ""A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."
If I am not able to buy myself a pistol, isn't this infringing my right as a citizen?

Well you have choices in NYC though. Don't be too discouraged:
Become a cop, then you can have a gun to defend yourself and others and you can pretty much do what you want.
Become a criminal and acquire them on the Black market
Read NYS's Constitution and deal with the fact that NYS is not, nor will it ever be a right to carry state the way you want it.
Well, you gotta admit man, some people will walk around the neighborhood with pistols and rifles no matter where they are at. Hell, I think some states say you can open carry without even a permit. :P
NY's gun laws are 100% Unconstitutional, but due to the 2nd Circuit's solidly anti-gun judges, that will not change unless SCOTUS forces states like ours to re-join the Republic, an unlikely scenario.

carry permits are really not available to the public . you can only get a residence permit. you can keep a loaded gun at home , go hunting or to an authorized nyc range . any time off premise and traveling must be locked up ,unloaded and only for the 2 reasons above.
