A question we get quite often is “Can I as a non-resident, get a concealed carry in NY?”
The short answer is Yes.
The requirements for a non-resident to get a New York Concealed carry license hinges around a very specific recent decision in New York City to change the way applications are handled to allow for non-resident applications.
In our article below, we discuss many things related to the NYPD emergency rule released on 08/06/2024 along with the new amendments that allow for a non-resident to be issued a license.
What a non-resident may be asking themselves at this point is “how do I do it?”
You’ll apply through the NYPD licensing portal.
For the most part you will be following the same steps as a New York City resident and choosing “Concealed Carry” as the license type, which we’ve laid out below:

We also offer the NYS CCW course required to obtain your license.
Please note that the NYPD has not yet updated their portal to be able to have a non-NY safeguard, which is a person who will be taking responsibility for your firearms if you become incapacitated or die.
Expect to find a NY resident to perform this duty or let us know and we will assist you.
You must complete the 18-hour training course prior to your fingerprinting appointment which consists of a 16-hour classroom session, as well as a 2-hour live fire section. This will provide you both a formal education in pistols if you’ve never had one, as well as teach you the intricacies of the laws in NY, and of course have a test and shooting qualification at the end.
