It is not just a case of getting a concealed carry permit.
What a lot of people don't understand, is that here in NY, you cannot purchase or possess a handgun unless you get the state's permission. You must have a permit from the state. It is not like other states where you can purchase but need a permit to carry.
Not only do you need a permit before you can purchase a handgun, each handgun must be registered with the state and specifically listed on your permit. It is illegal to possess a handgun that is not listed on your permit.
Additionally, even if you have a permit, you have to get additional permission to purchase an additional handgun. Although there is some variation, in most counties, the newly purchased handgun must be listed on your permit before taking possession.
