NY Concealed Carry Map

Where a concealed carry license holder can and can't carry a handgun, anywhere in New York State, from the five boroughs to the Adirondacks.

Rules checked 9 Nov 2026 · NY Penal Law §§ 265.01-d, 265.01-e

Upstate and Long Island licenses don't cover NYC. A carry license issued anywhere else in New York State is not valid in New York City (the five boroughs) unless the NYPD Police Commissioner has also issued you a special permit (Penal Law § 400.00(6)). A license issued by the NYPD is valid statewide.

Not legal advice. This is a general guide for orientation. Laws and court rulings change, boundaries here are approximate, and many prohibited places can't be drawn. Follow posted signs, check the statute and current rulings, and talk to a New York firearms attorney before relying on it.

Places you can carry

State Forest Preserve (Adirondacks & Catskills)(2)(d)(ii)

Green is state Forest Preserve land, which the law leaves out of the park ban. Private land, towns and state parks inside the Adirondack and Catskill Parks follow the normal rules, and a red lot inside the green still means no carry. DEC campgrounds inside it show orange: DEC rules allow guns there only in hunting season.

Purple spots are polling places and nothing else we know of. They're off limits while they're used for voting (early voting and Election Day). The rest of the year they follow the normal rules. A polling place inside a school, church or other restricted building stays red.

Orange lots are coded by the county tax assessor as a church, school, park, government building and so on, but no facility list or online map confirms anything is actually there. They may be off limits; check the real use before you carry there.

Prohibited places shown

How to read the map: every red shape is a tax lot or park where carry is banned. Tap one to see why and everything on it: bars, schools, clinics, houses of worship, offices and so on. The checkboxes above filter the red lots by type. In Manhattan every lot is drawn once you zoom in, so you can tap any building; in the other boroughs only the red lots are drawn. Parks are red end to end, including buildings inside them.

Alcohol: 13,102 NYC premises with an active State Liquor Authority on-premises license as of 9 Nov 2026 (restaurants, bars, hotels, clubs, catering halls, cabarets, theaters, arenas). Liquor stores, groceries, wholesalers, manufacturers and temporary permits are left out. Each license is placed on its lot by street address, or else the nearest lot to the state's location; about 30 couldn't be placed. A license that changed hands recently may not match the business you see.

Facilities: NYC Planning's Facilities Database (July 2026) for city offices, courts, police, hospitals and clinics, mental health and addiction programs, day cares, pre-K, camps, schools, libraries, museums, homeless services and transit; the DMV's own list of its 21 NYC offices; the State Health Department's facility list for hospitals, nursing homes and adult homes; and PLUTO building classes for houses of worship, theaters, concert halls and amusement venues. State and federal offices other than the DMV are mostly missing. Lot data: NYC PLUTO and the Dept. of Finance tax map, Nov 2026.

Some no-go places can't be mapped from public data: shelter addresses are confidential, family day cares in private homes aren't listed, and shelters for domestic violence survivors are kept secret by law. Polling places come from the state's October 2026 list of Election Day and early voting sites. Tap a place for the rule behind it.
