See the training standards guide here: When will I need to take the firearm safety training course? Proof of completion of the firearm safety training course is required to obtain a concealed carry license on or after September 1, 2022.

Effective September 1, 2022, the possession of a firearm, rifle, or shotgun is prohibited in sensitive locations. Under the law, the following are considered sensitive locations: Any location owned or under control of federal, state, or local government for the purpose of government administration, including courts; Any location providing health, behavioral health, or chemical dependence care or services; Places of worship or religious observation; Libraries, public playgrounds, public parks, and zoos; NYS Office of Children and Family Service licensed or funded facilities (childcare facilities); Nursery schools, preschools, summer camps; NYS Office for People with Developmental Disabilities licensed or funded facilities; NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports licensed or funded facilities; NYS Office of Mental Health licensed or funded facilities; NYS Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance licensed or funded facilities; Homeless shelters, family shelters, domestic violence shelters; NYS Department of Health licensed or funded residential facilities; Colleges, universities, private schools, public schools, and other educational institutions; Public transportation and transit facilities; Bars and restaurants serving alcohol, and on-premises cannabis consumption locations; Theaters, stadiums, racetracks, museums, amusement parks, performance venues, concert halls, exhibit halls, conference centers, banquet halls, gaming facilities, video lottery terminal facilities as licensed by the gaming commission; Polling places; Public sidewalks and other public areas that are restricted from general public access for a limited time or special event; Gatherings of people to collectively express their constitutional rights to assemble or protest; and Times Square (with boundaries determined by New York City). If I have a concealed carry license, can I carry my pistol or revolver to sensitive locations? No. Subject to exceptions for certain individuals (see next FAQ), Penal Law §265.01-e prohibits bringing any pistol, revolver, rifle, shotgun or any other firearm to a sensitive location – even if you have a concealed carry license. Are there any exceptions to this rule? Is anyone exempt from the prohibition of possession of firearms, rifles, or shotguns in sensitive locations? Yes, the law exempts the following persons: Police officers in New York State, as defined in Criminal Procedure Law § 1.20(34), and those who were employed as police officers in New York State but are retired; Retired law enforcement officers who qualify under 18 U.S.C. 926(C)(the Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, or LEOSA); Peace officers in New York State, as defined in Criminal Procedure Law § 2.10; Armed security guards registered by the NYS Department of State while working; Active-duty military personnel; Persons licensed under paragraph c, d, or e subdivision 2 of § 400.00 of the Penal Law while in the course of official duties; Persons lawfully engaged in hunting activity, including hunter education training; Persons operating a program in their home that would otherwise be considered a sensitive location, however, such possession must comply with any rules or regulations (e.g., safe storage); and Government employees with agency consent, for the purpose of natural resource protection. Is it a crime to enter another person’s property, also known as a “restricted location” under the law, with a firearm, rifle, or shotgun without the owner’s or lessee’s consent? Subject to exemptions for certain individuals, you can only enter another person’s property with a firearm, rifle, or shotgun when the owner or lessee has specifically posted that it allowed, or the owner or lessee has expressly consented. Consent to carry must be reflected by clear and conspicuous signage or express verbal consent from the owner or lessee. (Penal Law § 265.01-d). Is anyone exempt from the prohibition of possession of firearms, rifles, or shotguns in restricted locations? Yes, the law exempts the following persons: Police officers in New York State, as defined in Criminal Procedure Law § 1.20(34), and those who were employed as police officers in New York State but are retired; New York peace officers, as defined in Criminal Procedure Law § 2.10; Armed security guards registered by the Department of State while working; Active-duty military personnel; Persons licensed under paragraph c, d, or e subdivision 2 of § 400.00 of the Penal Law while in the course of their official duties; and Persons lawfully engaged in hunting activity, including hunter education training. Can I possess a firearm, rifle or shotgun in the Adirondack and Catskill Parks? Certain areas of the parks are not considered “sensitive locations” under the law, as the state- owned or managed lands are legally classified as state forest preserve or are generally private lands. There are areas inside the Adirondack and Catskill Parks, however, that are classified as sensitive locations or restricted locations under the new gun law (e.g., libraries and government administrative facilities) and these specific locations are subject to the sensitive and restricted location restrictions under the law, which are detailed in Question 23. Please review the Department of Environmental Conservation’s FAQs for more information. How can I safely transport guns in a vehicle? Effective September 1, 2022, if you leave your gun unattended in a vehicle, it must be unloaded and locked in a fire, impact, and tamper resistant storage depository that is hidden from view. Glove compartments and glove boxes are not appropriate safe storage depositories. A plastic or aluminum, lockable, hard-sided, gun case or safe will suffice for this purpose. If an adult remains with the vehicle to ensure security, a case or safe is not required. To prevent theft and ensure safety, it is always recommended that firearms be secured during transport. Local rules for traveling with firearms also apply and may be more restrictive. For example, New York City requires that all guns be unloaded, in a case, and out of sight, even when you are with the vehicle (Penal Law § 265.45). All ammunition must be stored securely separately from the firearm. How am I required to store my guns in my home? If anyone younger than 18 years old or anyone who is prohibited from possessing a gun resides in the home, all firearms, rifles, and shotguns not in your immediate control must either be: secured with a gun locking device (trigger lock or cable lock) that makes them incapable of being accessed or fired by the prohibited individual, or locked securely in a safe or secure container that is fire, impact, and tamper resistant and which is locked using a key, keypad, or combination.
