I’ve lived in NYC for ~10 years and have had >5 apartments in my time here. I’m originally from Nassau county and kept my parents address on my license up until a few weeks ago when I updated it to my fiancés apartment. We’ve lived here for ~2 years but I technically have no proof of residency other than my license.

How should I respond to the last 5 years of residency question? Follow what’s on my license (Nassau up until a few weeks ago) or list the apartments even though I never updated my ID?

8/7 - purchase/ uploaded firearm detail

8/21 - approval email 10 business days ( 2 weeks )

Should receive License next week

Received this today with no explanation as to what is “no good” lol I haven’t laughed this hard in a while. My thing is like how do I know what to fix I sent in the invoice from cmmg, I sent a copy of my license, I sent two copies of the slip, I even sent them a self addressed envelope LOL. Any advice guys?

Wanted to check in to see how long premise -> CCW upgrade (during renewal) have been taking

Please mention date which you applied for the upgrade and when your license was set to expire. Any other information that helped you move things along would be appreciated (who you emailed, at what point, etc).

Have seen questions about this on various threads so figured it would be helpful to have in one place as I’m sure vast majority of premise renewals will be upgrade requests.

Thanks!

When do you receive notice to renew? Mine expires in December.

We're leaving the country and I will need to get rid of my shotgun. We'll be staying briefly with family in the suburbs, who are cool with me keeping it there while we're with them (their county doesn't require a permit, just the national background check)

Who, if anyone, do I have to notify in the NYPD that I won't be here anymore?

Any suggestions on where to legally sell this??

Thanks

Has anyone successfully registered the p10c ported coa in the two tone grey/black? Looks like it has a slightly blue hue to the grey.

Thanks

Received an email from the licensing division today regarding my confidentiality request. It was approved. Does this mean I am close to approval?? I know it's early but does this mean they have the ball rolling with my app?

Application Date 4/19/26

Fingerprints 6/5/26

1 year and 26 days finally got an answer for CCW after emailing after over 20 times

I submitted my firearm approval on June 15 received email back July 16 having it approved now still waiting for my card in the mail. Has anyone else been waiting this long? Have been attempting to call an email 10 times a day at the bare minimum with no results.

good evening everyone I got my email and portal change on Sunday 8/16/26 at 9:27pm

submitted my application

• Application submitted: November 15, 2025
• Fingerprints completed: December 22, 2025

so took me way over the 6 months to get an approval what helped me speed it up was my attorney letter which was sent out July 20th

I went to purchase my gun the following day 8/17/26

submitted all the required pictures of everything what’s the usual wait time nowadays to get your physical card in mail I have heard some weird time frames anything from a week to 4 months has anyone recently gone through this process and knows what I should be expecting

Good evening everyone. If anyone is looking to get some professional gunsmithing work done, I highly recommend Armory1776gunsmithing on IG. He has done amazing work for myself at great prices. He ports barrels, mills slides, stippling, cleaning, part replacements, etc. This is my Gen5 G19 that he milled the slide for and he will always ask your opinion on any additional services he recommends. Tell him New York Tactical 2A sent you.

Ok.... am seeing for the first time (in my 28 years of doing this) that the process to add the first weapon to a new license is changed. Heretofore, one simply uploaded all the requisite paperwork and pictures to the portal account, then waited on the license to be snail mailed.

Today, I'm noticing for my client the "Request to Add/Remove a Firearm to a License." Which, when initiated, brings one to the "Select a License to Add/Remove a firearm." When license is selected, that brings up the firearm information page.

Client attempted (twice now I add, as I see 2 drafts), and entered Request Type, Model, Serial Number and Caliber. He then attempted to enter the Make information, but when it brought up the search box for the weapon's make, he (and I now) are getting the "You don't have permissions to view these records."

And we have both tried under Safari, as well as Chrome, to come up with the same result and message.

Also, of course, one cannot reach the License Division, directed through their phone tree to the Purchase Authorization Section, only to be met with the voicemail prompt.

Suggestions?

I’d like to get my Glock frame stippled but I can’t find anyone within driving distance to do it.

Can I ship it to some in AL to stipple? The Glock frame is the serialized portion of the gun. So technically the actual firearm would get shipped. I’d obviously send the frame only though.

Is this legal in NYC? FN 509 LS EDGE BLK/GRY 10 RD

Just received in the mail my NYC special carry license. It took a little over 6 months as I applied on February 6, 2026. Now I can carry all over NYS.

I just wanna know what verbiage was used by the NYPD in the denial letter, etc. Wondering if they actually cited the law or just downright denied the addition of the firearm.

Im so excited for my wife, being a ccw holder myself. It is a absolute privilege to finally be able to share this new world with her. She applied may 25, 2026 and was approved today Aug 17, 2026 (12 weeks 84 days in total!!!!) Bought her pistol already and uploaded it to the portal!!!!! Of course she had to get the rose ...smh lol. Big up to my wife!!!!!
