Nah, I'll an MP5 over an Uzi any day :)
I actually shot one of them (full auto) with a silencer when I was in Oklahoma. I still have a sweet spot for my Uzi.

Is it hard to get a license for a rifle in brooklyn? My impression was that it's only difficult to get a handgun license.

no big deal to get a rifle /shotgun/(AR15) license in brooklyn. You just have to get a license, whereas most states (i.e. Cleveland) dont even require one. A handgun is difficult to get, and a concealed carry is darn near impossible.

Yes (Read: I would like to secure the option to. Whether I would or would not on a daily basis, I don't know. )

2 and 3 primarily.

Keep in mind, having one isn't enough. You need to know how to use it. Properly.

In New York, out of NYC, you do not need to have any license to purchase a rifle. All you need is not to be a convicted felon

A handgun license is impossible unless you're well connected.
A rifle/shotgun license is difficult & expensive. You could get one but they really make you jump through hoops and wait forever.
That being said, had i known how long I would end up being in NYC I probably would've done it years ago...

a homeowners permit for a handgun is very possible it just takes about a year to go through the deterrent process . a carriers license is possible but only if you can show that you carry thousands of dolllars every day, so basically only work related. and rifle/shotgun is easier than handgun

IIRC that's for a "business carry permit" (I forget exactly what they call it) which officially can only be used while conducting said business, and I'm pretty sure I read that people who those get hassled a lot...

true so we either have to find a business that makes lots of money and the hours are all day and night or its time to become friends with the police commissioner
