  1. I lived in NYC for 10 years and NYS for 30 years...

    I quit my job, sold my home and moved after SAFE became law....    ....one time upon returning from a hunt, a thief was walking off with my double shotgun he picked up from the secure bag claim area at Kennedy Airport....

    Pistols in NY have always been very evil tools reserved for cops, judges and their friends...  ..you cannot touch a pistol in a retail store by law unless you have a valid handgun permit...

    ...in Westchester NY you must have a trigger lock on all guns each time you leave your home...

  2. I checked the reciprocity agreements between states and my TN carry permit is recognized in this state.   ....I was not able to find much on the specific Georgia carry laws, however.

     

    I assume Georgia is a concealed carry state so I need to conceal right? 

     

    Are there any precautions that I need to know?  I'l be traveling from TN to Georgia (Savana) by car.

     

    Thx... 

  3. i did not think it would be fun carrying a 357 mag K frame but it has been ok in an outside the waist holster with a shirt over it....

     

    ...likewise, i got used to carrying a j-frame 38 in a holster in my pocket....  in a pinch, a pocket gun is ok.... 

     

    no question, i shoot revolvers better than auto gunz especially in smaller packages.  as a reloader for decades, it is puzzling to me exactly why the ballistics favor the 9mm.....  it is a puny case compared to the 38 capacity.       

  4. Nether of these are the best choice for me but sometimes a small pocket gun is necessary, so I have pocket guns in each of these chamberings.

     

    The projectiles are similar sized in diameter but the 38 bullet typically carries more grains but the 9mm ammo typically carries more energy at the muzzle.

     

    ...anyway, which do you like better and why?  Do you only carry autos for SD and does this govern your choice?  

  5. After the passage of the SAFE Act in NY, I quit my job, sold my house and retired to East TN.   I live in a village with 4000 homes and most here are retired from Ohio, Ill, Mich.

     

    I open carry when I walk the dogs and no one makes a fuss.   When I visit a retail store, I generally conceal.

     

    Do I think TN will turn out like Colorado?  ....not a chance.

  6. ...my first gun was given to me at age 8.  I lived in NJ/NY/CT mostly for the last 57 years.  These states are a "show cause" to obtain a pistol carry permit.  What does the application look like?  This from Westchester NY is typical:

     

    * Proof of residency in the same location for at least 2 years

    * Bank reference (notorized)

    * $45 non-refundable application fee that is dated (all notorized references are to be within 30 days of the date of the initial applicaton)

    * Four personal references from un-related neighbors who have known you for at least two years - notorized

    * a completed application with 30 pages of questions

    * Interview with police

    * background check

    * finger print check

    * for cause hearing with a judge

    * Total wait time till initial determination - at least 1 year.

     

    If you move your residence, please start over from the beginning.  95% of all carry applications in Westchester NY are denied.  I was denied several times and never did get a permit.  In Westchester NY all guns must be locked in your home.  You must have a permit to buy a handgun.  If you go to a range, the range management must check your permit against the guns you plan to shoot. 

     

    So, at age 57 NY enacted SAFE legislation in 2013 after Sandy.  This legislation outlawed the purchase of pistols with mags exceeding 7 rounds, existing guns had to have mag plugs to prevent loading more than 7 rounds, outlawed purchase of so-called assault weapons, required a gun registry for existing AWs, and requires a background check for all ammo purchases.  Police are given the data on ammo purchases and are directed by law to match up what you are buying with any permits you have.  

     

    The enactment of SAFE did it for me.  I quit my job, sold my house and moved to TN.   I obtained my carry permit within 7 days of filing the paperwork with Motor Vehicles.
