Lol, is there any point in even applying in NY without a valid reason?
Depends on where. NYC has crazy liberal government and so gun control laws are extremely strict. You need to provide reasons etc. However leave the city and already in Rockland county it's a different world. NY  is a "may issue" state which means that the local gov has discretion with whether or not to give a license but usually they grant it to someone even "just for" home defense. Besides needing signatures from everyone living with you (don't lie on that if you know what's good for you) it's actually quite easy.

I haven't done it yet, but I plan on getting a license and gun.
Why?

And what constitutes a good reason?

Yes I think its a good reason, However I don't know if its good enough for the government (I don't own a jewelry store/check cashing biz etc...)

Is a hassle and expensive to get a license to own in NYC. The real challenge is a carry permit

Right. I read that only current/former law enforcement can get. Is that true?

Nope. As mentioned above valid reason can get. Jewelry store owner. High profile target like celebrity or big ceo might.

I love this. Here we have people who figure out every "khap" in the book when it comes to airlines and credit card companies and they can't figure out how to deal with strict NY gun laws? Where there's a will, there's a way. Use your "gemara kop" the same way you figured out how to get 5 Sapphires in a year.
we arent just talking about terms and conditions here :)

Yes that's the law in some upstate counties of The People's Republic of NY (though it kind of makes sense, and I believe it's everyone 18 and above).

For those that answered that they plan on getting one eventually, what factors are preventing you from getting now instead of eventually?

I have to figure out the process first. There is no point in applying just to get denied. I was going to apply in NJ (I have a NY License) But a friend got denied for having an out of state license. Now it seems that I'll have to go for a NY one, which is much harder.

I own and carry here in MD, one of the few "may issue" states. You need "good and substantial" reason.
