I see nothing in OP's post about getting his handgun license. Since getting a handgun in Nassau is just about as difficult and time-consuming as getting one in the city (18+ months and you're not getting carry in either place), I have to assume that he's asking about long guns. Are you in NYC? Or in NJ, as your name suggests?
A simple background check at the store is all you need to get a long gun in New York State -- NYC makes things incredibly difficult, however, as permit required for long guns as well as handguns, and the wait on long guns is more than a year right now. There are also additional restrictions on what you can actually own in NYC (no AR-15s including fixed mag and featureless, 5-round magazine capacity limit, etc.).
OP -- whatever you're planning, I'd think long and hard about it. If things don't work out for you you could be facing real deal, no-sh*t jail time (and then you'd never be able to legally own a gun anywhere else, even in a free state). Just apply for a long gun permit and understand that you'll be limited to ****ty magazines until (hopefully) the SC slaps down New York's licensing scheme in some way. If you actually live in New Jersey, just go through their process (it's generally easier than even New York's).

Last case I know of which was ny vs Lincoln Parker , if you got caught carrying with the restricted sportsman license used in Long Island you can loose your permit but it is not a crime .
Unlike nyc which issues a premise permit with authorization to go to an in state range and hunting , the Long Island permits are like our old target hunting permits which were full carry permits restricted to hunting and ranges .
Our residence permit is used instead since the residence permit is specifically in nys law and there can be criminal prosecution.
So unless Long Island switched to premise permits as their sportsman permit then they are still the restricted full carry
STATE NEW YORK v. LINCOLN PARKER (02/10/81).
Based on this section of the law:
Section 265.20 Exemptions
a. Sections 265.01, 265.02, 265.03, 265.04, 265.05, 265.10, 265.11, 265.12, 265.13, 265.15 and 270.05 shall not apply to:
3. Possession of a pistol or revolver by a person to whom a license therefor has been issued as provided under section 400.00 or 400.01 of this chapter ; provided, that such a license shall not preclude a conviction for the offense defined in subdivision three of section 265.01 of this article.
I say this in the nicest way possible. You are idiot, the fact that you would even contemplate switching your address to attempt at getting a gun permit means you shouldn't be given a deadly weapon. Luckily it's insanely hard and time consuming to get a pistol permit in Nassau or Suffolk!
I completely agree with your comment. Not to pile on the OP, but lying about your address to get a firearm in this state will have severe consequences.
OP Move here. Establish a permanent residency then apply. I do understand that we need to protect ourselves with the way this world is going and seeing all the animals lose in the city but this is not like lying about your address on a job application. The process of a gun registration in this state is very thorough. They check EVERYTHING! Don't play dumb games.

Getting a drivers license in New York means New York is your primary.
If it’s not your true primary then that can get you caught up in auto insurance fraud and tax fraud
To actually state on a public forum you are thinking of fraudulently trying to get a permit is not a smart thing to do
