First learn how to type.

Next, buy the AR anyway, go to PA, and grab some mags.

Pretty much this. If in Albany move the fuck out of the city limits and then go for cc. Also avoid Schenectady Troy and Hudson unless you want to need to use something and go broke defending yourself.

I live in elmira, crime just keeps getting worse

Pump action 12 gauge. Maybe an ar. 10 rounds of .223 is a lot of firepower, plus ars are easy to reload quickly. Or just use your bolt action. I mean, if you have any centerfire long gun you're better armed than the intruders.

hows the revolver market in ny?could you pick up some retired cops wheel gun?

>>35073147
Not as familiar with the area but if you have to go the shotgun route look for #1 buck to feed whatever you get. Other than that buy or build an ar till you get a pistol permit

>>35073720
Plenty of options but need a permit to purchase/own and a different one to carry

SKS was my first semi auto I got with my own money in cuckstate NY

Also just don't comply if you want an AR build it and keep it to yourself

Basically its a poor town (used tp be much richer but most everything is vlosed now apart from clerical jobs and box stores, exceptions being Kennedy valve and howell), also a big drug problem, and as were a prison town, lots of basketball americans from big cities as we have a maximum security prison
May go the AR route, trying to move away from here but i dont make much money as is.

Youre right, but manuverability and follow up shots in the dark arent easy, also most are scoped for at minimum 50 yards, the only open sight bolt gun i have is a lee enfield from my great granddad which has been passed down to me which i dont want to use as i cpuldnt live with myself if that heirloom sat in impound forever

Not 21 yet so still a year away from getting a ccw permit

Wasr-10. AR's are great, but next time the gun grabbers come, whatever you have is gonna be grandfathered and that'll be it, period, so get something that'll last like an AK or an FAL

>>35073147
EFA or SHS?

>>35073894
This honestly. Sks is a pretty easy get where ever you are and an AR is pretty easy to un fuck. Not sure how your area is but I take mine to the range all the time and no one bats and eye. I've yet to get too PA for mags so I couldn't speak to that. I'm sure it's not that much of a problem though

EFA, tho my senior year they merged

>>35079101
small world, HHS here. no more good LGS around anymore, scotts and rock stream are good to go. if its your first gun purchase, i too would look for an SKS, or an 870 with 20" and full length mag.

>>35079507
