In NY you need a permit to buy a handgun but some counties like Westchester you need to buy the handgun first before the county issue the permit. But that doesn't mean you can take the handgun home with you after you bought it. It just means that you will have to show the permit to the FFL before they give you your handgun. With a rifle, the gun store will do a NICS check for your background and you can take it home with you if you're one of the good guys. I'm sure guys from this firearm store can assist you.
Hi Kevin, No problem, we can help. What kind of .22?, rifle or pistol?
