Application Assistance

103 Tactical Training stands at the forefront of assisting individuals in obtaining Firearms Licenses, setting the standard for professional full-service support unmatched by any other training institution in the New York area.

On September 1, 2022, New York State underwent significant changes in its gun laws, impacting firearms training and licensing requisites. These changes introduced the firearm ownership process complexity, heightened licensing fees, and reduced renewal intervals.

Despite the evolving intricacies introduced by New York State, 103 Tactical Training remains steadfast in its commitment to professionally train and guide our students through the licensing procedure. While the state may convolute the process, our dedication to simplifying and clarifying the licensing journey remains resolute.

It's important to note that licensing and training prerequisites may vary from county to county. If you reside outside of New York City, please Contact Us.
