Best Answer

Generally speaking, yes. Any person with a "clean record" can purchase a handgun in any state. I don't know specficially what New York's requirements are, but generally speaking, you fill out a form and pass a background check. You can only legally purchase a handgun within the state in which you reside.

It depends on what you mean. The state of New York does issue permits, but the city of New York does not recognize permits issued by NY state, or permits issued by any other state.
