Any non-resident who does business in the City of Troy, and has occasion to carry a loaded pistol, revolver, or firearm while in the said city, must make application for permission to do so, to the commissioner of nublic safety, in the same manner as is required of residents of said city, and shall be subject to the same conditions and restrictions.
