In NY, permit to own = license to carry. We are even allowed to have it loaded and in our lap while we drive (if we wanted to, but that seems kind of stupid). You also have to have purchased the gun already from a dealer or broker and get the serial number of the weapon that is going to be on your license.

I just got mine a couple months ago. It's a bitch of a wait but well worth it IMO.
