I stand by what I posted. Did you look at the above site? It generally
supports what I posted, although there was more variance by state than I
expected. Some states forbid concealed carry entirely, there are no
permits. Some states require a concealed carry permit. Others don't.
The site doesn't say anything about concealed carry for New York, just
that you need a permit to carry a handgun.
