Who Should I Contact If I Was Arrested in New York With an Out-of-State Gun Permit?

Contact a New York criminal defense lawyer immediately. New York generally does not recognize out-of-state handgun permits. A valid permit from another state does not automatically authorize possession of a handgun in New York, and an arrest may lead to a felony weapon possession charge.

Do not try to explain the permit or answer questions about the firearm without a lawyer. Matthew Cohan and his team represent clients arrested with out-of-state permits and review the specific firearm, permit status, location of the arrest, police conduct, and potential licensing issues.

Registration depends on the specific offense of conviction. Before accepting a guilty plea, ask your attorney to explain whether the proposed disposition requires registration under New York’s Sex Offender Registration Act and what obligations would follow. Matthew Cohan and his team review plea options and their long-term consequences, including effects on employment, housing, and immigration status.
