Officer Martinez: Hello, Handguns, this is Officer Martinez, how can I help you?
Well-spoken male caller: Hi, I’m interested in applying for a rifle and shotgun permit, and I want to make sure I have the correct documents ready before I make the trek out there.
Officer Martinez: We don’t do rifles and shotguns, only handguns…. Hold on…. [yelling to co-worker]…. Shotguns?…. [inaudible]….. Okay… 718-520-9300
Well-spoken male caller: That’s the Rifle and Shotgun permit division.
Officer Martinez: Yes.
Well-spoken male caller: Great. Thanks.
…
Officer Rodriguez: Rifle and Shotguns. Officer Rodriguez speaking.
Well-spoken male caller: Hi, I’m interested in applying for the rifle and shotgun permit, and I want to make sure I have the correct documents ready before I make the trek out there.
Officer Rodriguez: Do you have a computer?
Well-spoken male caller: Yes. If you’re going to tell me to check out the web site, I’ve already done that. But I want to double-check that I have everything prepared correctly, since the information is unclear. What forms do I need notarized?
Officer Rodriguez: It should say that on the forms.
Well-spoken male caller: Yes, but I wanted to double-check.
Officer Rodriguez: Everything should be on the form.
Well-spoken male caller: Okay. Where are you located?
Officer Rodriguez: 120-55 Queens Boulevard. In the basement. Room B-11.
Well-spoken male caller: You said in the basement. Can you repeat the room number?
Officer Rodriguez: Yes. Room B eleven.
Well-spoken male caller: And you’re open Monday through Friday.
Officer Rodriguez: Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 3:30pm.
Well-spoken male caller: Thanks.
Is that for me or for shooting at the ceiling, because you are bored, or for applying for security guard jobs?
Please refer to Chapter 1 of my, “A Practical Guide to Being a Criminal: Permanent Resident and Naturalized Citizen’s Edition”,
Permanent Residents and Naturalized Citizens should avoid committing crimes with a high likelihood of being caught. These include consuming large quantities of alcohol before driving and shooting people using guns registered with the police department.
