#        I'll be moving to New York in a couple of months and have heard
#some frightening stories about their gun laws.  I will *not* be living
#in "The City" but will probably end up in Rockland County.
#
#        Someone told me that in order to own a handgun in one's home,
#one must apply for a permit just to own the gun.  Another permit is
#required just to transport the gun to the range.  And some localities
#have limits on how many handguns you may have.  CCW is virtually impossible
#according to the person with whom I spoke.
