Hello again, Pedes! I've seen a lot of people asking about gun laws, and in particular how to legally obtain a firearm. Additionally, folks want to know how to get a concealed carry permit.
Not to worry, Pedes! There's a website for that! Handgunlaw.us has information for all 50 states, and there's a ton of helpful information there for current gun owners, too! Can I carry in a bar? Do I have a duty to inform a law enforcement officer that I'm armed? Where can I or can't I carry? Answers at https://handgunlaw.us/
I have no affiliation with them, but they seem to keep their information up to date, and the site is useful if you're traveling out of state. They also have a reciprocity map, so you can see other states where your permit is valid.
Hope this helps!
States like NY it's based on county and NY county and albany county are a no go.
That sucks. Here in Mass, it's up to your local police chief. The larger schools for the training course have a green, yellow, red, black list for which towns are likely to approve you.
If a training course is required for your state, Pedes, call a reputable training site and ask about your chances before you pay for the course. Most of them will give you an honest answer.
