NYC Handgun Permit Types
New York City’s handgun permit laws are among the nation’s most stringent, presenting a maze of regulations that can be difficult to navigate. International Security Services, Inc. (ISS) offers expert guidance to help you understand and obtain the NYC pistol permit that aligns with your protection needs.
Premises License
A Premises License is a restricted type of handgun permit in NYC, designed for home and business owners. It allows the licensee to legally possess a firearm at their specified residence or business location. Additionally, it permits the transportation of unloaded firearms, securely contained, to and from hunting areas or firing ranges. This license is ideal for those who require a firearm for home or business defense but do not need to carry it on their person at all times.
Carry Business License
The Carry Business License is an unrestricted permit that enables business owners to carry concealed handguns for the purpose of protecting their enterprise. This license is specific to the business, weapon, and address listed on the permit. Transfers of this license type may be possible with written approval from the license division’s commanding officer, providing flexibility for business owners who may change their business location or ownership.
Carry Guard License
Designed for security professionals, the Carry Guard License grants carrying privileges for a specified weapon. This license is essential for security guards and executive protection personnel, allowing them to carry a handgun while in transit to and from their place of employment, as well as during their working hours. It ensures that those responsible for the safety of others have the means to protect both themselves and their clients.
Limited Carry Business License
The Limited Carry Business License is a restricted permit that imposes specific limitations on the licensee’s carrying privileges. It requires the firearm to be secured at the business premises outside of the permitted carrying times. This license is suitable for business owners who need to carry a firearm for work-related purposes but do not require the broader carrying permissions of the Carry Business License.
Special Carry License
The Special Carry License is issued to individuals who already possess a basic county license, as per the terms of NYS Penal Law Article 400. This license extends the carrying privileges of the basic license, allowing the holder to carry their firearm in NYC under the conditions of their existing county permit. However, if the basic license is canceled or revoked, the Special Carry License is also voided.
