My name is Jim P. I am new to the community but not to the USCCA.
This may have been suggested already but maybe we should avoid vacations and dealings with states that do not honor the 2A. I try to do that I know in some cases it is hard but I do try!

Welcome to the forums James!
@james1780 Introduce yourself here 
I thought long and hard about attending my 60th Highschool reunion. Finally decided to go, but will likely never return to NY.
Yes, something I do now that I’ve retired to the free side of the gauntlet. It’s really common sense as the anti gun folk like to say. Fueling up my RV sometimes takes 2 transactions and I’ll be darned if I’m going to stand around, credit card and wallet out, the side of the RV blocking a lot of my view, in an unknown to me area… unarmed.
I didn’t bother doing the change of address with my CT permit when I moved. Never going back, and bringing 34 guns, normal mags, level 4 armor and 70k rounds of ammo through New York, Maryland , New Jersey one of the 8 trips,was enough for this lifetime. In WV now, and boycotting MD as they have too much “common sense gun control” for me to bother figuring out. Whole lotta’ freedom to the west and south.
I do that in-state, avoiding counties like San Francisco that aren’t 2A-friendly.
What’s so special about New York?
NY is the Eastern CA when it comes to making the law abiding defenseless. MA/NJ other ridiculous states, and CT/RI not much better and getting worse.
Iirc, NY has a bill banning level 3 or better body armor now… unless you’re leo or mil, of course 
NY,NJ, and MA are notorious for not honoring FOPA.
Yep, it’s hard for me. I lived in Western NY for 40 years, and still have most of my family there. NY’s laws mean that, if I drive from FL to NY, I have to go the whole way unarmed because there is no legal way, at all, for a person who doesn’t have a NY Pistol License to be in possession of a handgun, even if you’re not actually carrying it. The only way to get a NY pistol license is to be a resident, and then jump through their million hoops, pay through the nose, and wait months and months.
You could have your handgun disassembled, no ammo in the car, locked in a lock box in the trunk, and be a felon. By the way, if, even with your gun locked up that way, if you have ammo anywhere else in the car, it’s considered loaded, and you’re an even bigger felon.
NY sucks. How places like that can continue to get away with such incredible violations of the US Constitution is beyond me. These are the same jacka$$es that insist that even asking for basic ID is a violation of the right to vote, but they think nothing of making it functionally impossible to exercise a right that comes way before the right to vote in the Constitution.
