Andrew Cuomo, the chief proponent of New York&#8217;s insane gun laws. (<em>AP Photo\/Mike Groll<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I got the New York blues. After years down in Kentucky, I\u2019m in the process of moving back to upstate New York.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m sure you\u2019re wondering why I would leave a wonderful free state to return to the land of Bloomberg. The answer: money. The girlfriend got a job that pays significantly more. Though she loved working for the Kentucky State Police, they didn\u2019t pay very well.\u00a0 So, we&#8217;re leaving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DI_dBarT6UY\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"i-got-the-new-york-blues\" title=\"I Got the New York Blues\">our old Kentucky home<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Now I\u2019m faced with a real dilemma. Scratch that. It\u2019s not a <em>real<\/em> dilemma. It\u2019s a hypothetical one because if it was real I may be at risk of breaking the law.<\/p>\n<p>Say I have a handgun. Say it\u2019s a really nice Colt Detective Special. In KY, I didn\u2019t need a license to possess it, nor did I need a license to carry it openly. In New York, I need both.\u00a0 You understand the significance of that.\u00a0 In New York, one cannot even possess a handgun without a license.<\/p>\n<p>If I cross the state line with my pretend wheel gun, I&#8217;m a lawbreaker.\u00a0 A criminal in the eyes of the state.<\/p>\n<p>The unlawful possession of a firearm in NY can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nraila.org\/gun-laws\/state-gun-laws\/new-york\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"i-got-the-new-york-blues\" title=\"I Got the New York Blues\">lead to a felony conviction<\/a>, depending on the circumstances.\u00a0 And just so we all know what&#8217;s at stake, a felony conviction\u00a0equals the permanent suspension of one&#8217;s 2A rights.\u00a0 Not good.<\/p>\n<p>You could say, well, if you have a Kentucky concealed carry permit, you&#8217;d be all set.\u00a0 Right?\u00a0 Wrong.\u00a0 I do have a valid KY concealed carry permit.\u00a0 But there is no reciprocity between NY and KY.\u00a0 Go figure.<\/p>\n<p>What this all boils down to is that either I enter the state unarmed and without my hypothetical revolver, thus sacrificing my ability to protect and defend my family, or I knowingly break the law and carry on and just hope I don&#8217;t get caught.<\/p>\n<p>The question I have is what would you do?<\/p>\n<p>In case you&#8217;re curious, the wait time for a permit is approximately four months, according to the government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ny.gov\/services\/apply-firearms-license\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"i-got-the-new-york-blues\" title=\"I Got the New York Blues\">website<\/a>.\u00a0 That&#8217;s a long time to go without protection.\u00a0 Plus, one is required to register his\u00a0handgun with the state.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s funny is the conundrum created by this registration mandate because one is required to submit the info of the handgun (manufacturer, caliber, model, type, property of) while applying for the permit.<\/p>\n<p>But how does one register a gun that one cannot legally possess in the first place because one doesn&#8217;t have the permit to possess it?\u00a0 Good question, right?\u00a0 I emailed the state website and got the following response:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would recommend contacting the County Clerk\u2019s Office in the county in which you are considering applying for a pistol permit,&#8221; said the state employee.\u00a0 &#8220;Each county has their own subtle rules and regulations governing the pistol permit application process.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hilarious.\u00a0\u00a0Oh, and you really need to check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.troopers.ny.gov\/Firearms\/PPB-3.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"i-got-the-new-york-blues\" title=\"I Got the New York Blues\">New York Pistol\/Revolver Application<\/a>.
