You can NOT transport a handgun in the state of New York without a New York state firearms permit. They do not issue non-resident permits. The penalty can be a 2 year prison sentence. You can however transport a handgun THROUGH the state of New York as long as you don't stop, if you stop you are in violation of law.

Don't ask don't tell
The police can't save everyone every second of the day. I am pro police by the way. but really there are human too. -
Like I've said before, if it comes down to a situation where I have to draw a firearm and consider using lethal force then what laws are applicable really doesn't matter at that point in time.
I can only deal with the fallout if I'm alive. -

Better to be carried by 12 than, er ah, better to tried by 6, than ah, oh the heck with it.
You know what I mean dang it. -
I have been in the ghetto's of Detroit,Cleveland,Houston..Never had a problem. What I AM worried about,is when I knock on a dumb-### paranoid truck driver's door who has either blocked me in my parking spot,/and or the fuel island,and he pulls his "piece" on me.
What then? I pack "protection" and we have a shoot-out.? Let the good times roll.. -
If you are hiding one, hide it very good since you'll never be able to to comply with every village, town,city and state law. And IF you EVER feel the need to pull it out, you BETTER BE READY TO USE IT since the person on the other side of it might have just a lil' more experience in such stuff. I own couple of them, but i rather keep them at home.
At the end, there is plenty other usable "weapons" around cab.Bumpy Thanks this. -
I would like to better learn MMA, I think that would be more effective than a gun, in most cases. I have taken some MMA classes, but not any since I became a driver, you can't do something like that being gone all week.

In the end I think it comes down to two questions.
How paranoid are you?
I am not that young, and I have been many places and in many circumstances.
Having a firearm, and sometimes I did, never improved my chance of survival.
In fact, it sometimes detracted from my chance.
If you didn't get the second question, well, you are just too paranoid.
In my experience, intelligence is the better weapon.
