Lead foot = no permit

I had a customer from New York (visiting PA on vacation) tell me tonight that he tried to get a NY carry permit but when he went to the interview, he was "strongly discouraged" from persuing it any further because he had 1 SPEEDING TICKET on his record!

I told him he should move to PA

Did you tell him Philly might treat him the same way?

I'd tell the officer it is more difficult to hit a moving target, with the LCTF speeding will no longer be necessary.

It's very unfortunate, but NY is definitely a "may-issue" state. Local judges have near-absolute discretion when it comes to pistol permits.

And the closer you get to NYC, the worse it gets.
