I am a male, 25, and living in New York State.

I have had several tickets and two misdemeanors ( one for driving on susp. license ) and ( one for harrassment on an ex-girlfriend by texting and emailing – nothing with any weapons, etc.)

Would I still be able to get a license? I have never done any jail time, except for just 1 night for driving on the suspended license.

Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

I personally feel that keeping guns out of the hands of law abiding citizens will only encourage the scum among us to be more brazen. Remember folks, criminals aren’t going to hand over their weapons just because Congress writes a law saying that we all have to. Doesn’t it make more sense for us to keep our guns so we can protect ourselves from predators?

Need some Primary research for my Anthropology class :)

Survey – Gun Control(Yes Or No)

1.Will laws dictating the mandatory use of trigger locks significantly reduce accidental deaths?
2.Laws prevailing the possession and carrying (keeping & bearing) of firearms are effective at preventing criminal acts.
3.Laws regulating the manner in which firearms are kept in your home (locked, disassembled, etc.) will effectively prevent accidental gun deaths.
4.Do you fear the possession of guns by the civilian?
5.Is gun ownership a symbol of independence, self-reliance, freedom, and responsibility?
6.Do law abiding citizens who carry concealed weapons endanger the public?
7.If all guns were to magically disappear tomorrow, there would be no more criminal violence?
8.The majority of criminal violence is the availability of guns.
9.Instead of offering protection, a gun in the home puts families at an even greater risk.
10.Should civilian ownership of guns be forbidden?
11.Does advance training with firearms reduce accidental deaths?
12.Should high-powered rifles be available to anyone with a firearms license?
13.Can having quick access to a firearm increase deaths by guns?

Thanks for your time!

My definition of gun control is using both hands and hitting you target. Personally we don’t need any more gun control, we need idiot control. Any firearm in all of their history NEVER killed one single person or animal, the person holding the weapon and squeezing the trigger did. If you want to argue that guns kill ppl, do this, load a gun and place it on your table, it WON’T do anything but sit there. So how do you feel about gun/firearm control? I say there needs to be a lift on the types of weapons one can own and no restrictions like needing a class 3 federal license to own a fully automatic rifle.
Thanks to all that actually answered and understood what I was saying and had a IQ above a 50 as Lone Wolf said, sadly I can only pick one as best answer, I feel that all of the answer are best answers except that Libarya person, who obviously has many issues.
@Libraya, I am a former Correctional Officer, if you don’t know what that is, that’s a person that works in a prison also know as Prison Gaurds, as a C/O I had to unfortunately protect murders that used firearms and other tools like knives, I’d rather those criminals receive the death penalty instead of waste tax payer money to keep them alive.

I recently got my class A LTC (no restrictions) in MA and the issuing officer was very limited on information he felt like giving me, (and its a pain in the ass to contact the guy which is why I’m askin this on Yahoo now)
I’ve been going through the paper work and maybe its right in front of me but my questions are…
1. Can I carry a concealed weapon?
2. Can I accompany a non-licensed person? (aka if I go to the range or something, allow someone whos not licensed to operate one of my firearms) It seems as though thats how it’s worded I’m just double checking.
3. What else can I possibly do that I’m not thinkin of? Other than basicallly purchase any and all large cap weapons other then a machine gun. oh and can I legally transport a weapon through RI or ME because I go to both often and would like to go hunting in ME and there are a few good ranges in RI. (as long as their locked up and ammo seperated)
MA is extremely strict on its licensing polocies.. the LTC stand for licence to carry, the class A is for high cap firearms
