Right you are, Bret. But, one nice thing (or bad) about NY is, they leave a lot of power with the county judge as far as policy goes. In my rural county, they give you a pistol permit paper that you can carry on you, so if you see a handgun you like, you can get it immediately. Other counties require you to get the handgun info (serial #, etc.) from the FFL, go to the county building and get the pistol permit paper, then go back to the FFL with it. Also, some counties won't issue you a concealed carry permit, and will specify it's for target shooting or hunting. Totally up to the judge in each county. My county automatically issues a concealed carry permit.
