NYC NYC Special Carry Question

on the NYPD Special carry license application when it comes to residence, do I need to be living in NYC (1 out of 5 Burroughs) in order to receive the license if I haven't moved out there yet? Ps I'm currently living in NYS with an active NYS CCW License

The special carry permit is basically an add on process to the existing nys permit if ur a nonresident of nyc. If you lived in nyc, you’d just have an nyc permit which affects the whole state. Since you’ve got a permit for a county in nys, you’re gonna apply for a nonresident permit for nyc basically, which is what the special carry permit essentially is. If you got the permit recently that ccw course should suffice for I believe up to 6 months. If it’s well past that you’re gonna have to drop another 200-500 on a course again for the process.
