Your problem as I see it, is your authority possess once in NYC. The ATF form 6 allows you to bring the firearm into the country, but you still need an authorization to posess said firearm while in NY, which you do not have. It could be an issue when you go to re-check it during your visit and when you depart.
I would have gotten the ATF authorization and had the weapon shipped directly to the facility you will do your training at. Upon compleation, the firearm can be shipped back to you.
Is the training you seek from a Law Enforcement agancy or organizationj? If so that agency could probably direct you. As it is now, if you get stuck in NY with your handgun, you are in violation of section 265 of the Penal Law. You would need an authority to posess, such as a pistol permit, the requirements of which are outlined in sec. 400 of the Penal Law, but unfortunately you do not qualify under any provisions of that section.
