here in NYC proper, they will do anything they can to catch you doing something wrong, just to pull your permit. once i went down for a gun inspection. it was funny now, bit really stupid at the time. i show up at one police plaza with a brief case, locked, inside that was a locked gun case, in the gun case was my gun with a trigger lock on it.
now to get into the building, you have to go through a metal detector, and all bags have to be x raided. so a woman cop is manning the metal detector, and x ray machine, and i produce my license, the letter telling me to report to room 152 for a gun inspection. i empty all my pockets, take off my belt, and put my brief case in the x ray machine. all of a sudden the woman cop yells, cops surround me, and she is screaming at me that i had a gun.
i said yes, it is in the case. the other cops look at her like she is nuts, a sergeant comes over and asks what is going on, looks at me and says, do you have a gun on you. i said no it is in the case locked up. he looks at my paper work, gives me all my stuff, and tells me to go into room 152. what a bunch of jerks. it used to be so easy to do gun transactions, but since 9/11, things have changed so much. they used to have parking under the building, but they closed that. now you need someone to drive you into downtown Manhattan, or take a train with a gun in a locked box. it also used to be that if you went to a licensed gun dealer, you could sell them your gun, and mail them the receipt, and they would remove the gun from your permit. now you need to write them asking permission to sell a gun, when they approve it, you have to go down to pick up the approval letter, then you have to go back and bring them the proof that you sold it to a license dealer or person.
if you want to buy a gun, you need to write them, if you are approved, it can take up to about 3 months, i think you have 30 days to go down there and pick up the order to by a new gun. then you have so many day to buy the gun, and bring it back to them for a inspection. so NY suck when it comes to guns
