DRIVING TO NEW YORK

[gunman1 1,753]

My son is on a two week R&R from Afghanistan and I'm driving to Water Town NY to see him and my new Grandson. I have a CCW from Virginia which will be good through PA, what do I need to do with my pistol once I cross the NY state line?

 

Thanks,

There is no reciprocity between NY and VA, that's why I asked the original question.

 

Damn glad I'm not going through NJ

Leave it at home, or if you know someone in PA, leave it there with them. A non-NY resident can't even bring a handgun into NY, unless it is for an organized competition. I'm not sure if there is some sort of "pass through" clause, but even if there were, it doesn't apply to you, as you will be stopping in NY.

265.12, 265.13, 265.15 and 270.05 shall not apply to:

1. Possession of any of the weapons, instruments, appliances or

substances specified in sections 265.01, 265.02, 265.03, 265.04, 265.05

and 270.05 by the following:

 

...................

 

13. Possession of pistols and revolvers by a person who is a

nonresident of this state while attending or traveling to or from, an

organized competitive pistol match or league competition under auspices

of, or approved by, the National Rifle Association and in which he is a

competitor, within forty-eight hours of such event or by a person who is

a non-resident of the state while attending or traveling to or from an

organized match sanctioned by the International Handgun Metallic

Silhouette Association and in which he is a competitor, within

forty-eight hours of such event, provided that he has not been

previously convicted of a felony or a crime which, if committed in New

York, would constitute a felony, and further provided that the pistols

or revolvers are transported unloaded in a locked opaque container

together with a copy of the match program, match schedule or match

registration card. Such documentation shall constitute prima facie

evidence of exemption, providing that such person also has in his

possession a pistol license or firearms registration card issued in

accordance with the laws of his place of residence. For purposes of this

subdivision, a person licensed in a jurisdiction which does not

authorize such license by a person who has been previously convicted of

a felony shall be presumed to have no prior conviction. The

superintendent of state police shall annually review the laws of

jurisdictions within the United States and Canada with respect to the

applicable requirements for licensing or registration of firearms and

shall publish a list of those jurisdictions which prohibit possession of

a firearm by a person previously convicted of a felony or crimes which

if committed in New York state would constitute a felony.

 

You're best bet........get the info straight from the horses mouth. Call the NYSP and have them give you a definite answer. But when I asked on Arfcom, what would be the scenario with me (after I move to SC and get a handgun at some point) coming back to NY on holidays, and if I wanted to bring my handgun with me. No-go.

 

NY requires permits for handguns, and I'm pretty sure NY doesn't offer non-resident permits, unlike most "free" states.

What'd you expect, man? This is NY; Where a magazine that holds more than 10 rounds and made after September 1994 is a felony and highly dangerous, yet the same magazine made prior to September 1994 is fine. Where a bayonet lug is outlawed on a gun made after September 1994.

 

NY gun laws =

 

Anyway, I would still give the NYSP a call, just for info's sake: http://www.troopers.state.ny.us/Contact_Us/

Thanks for posting this. I always wondered why New York had such a high crime rate. People were saying that it was something in their water, but this explains things in a much more logical way.

[DrWho 10]

now you can bring it if you "say" you are passing through to "say" Vermont..

which has some of the best gun laws in our nation..

but if you are found to be staying the night in NY and a carrying you are hossed.

 

i have folks in Upsate.

and have pondered this recently.

 

best just to leave it at home.

[DrWho 10]

just bring a s12...

that will be plenty..

<sarcasm, and/or an NY politician's view> What do you mean???? If guns are prohibited and restricted, there can't possibly be any gun related crimes! I mean, obviously a criminal won't use a gun if they're illegal!" </sarcasm>

 

just bring a s12...without a pistol grip and no S12 mags over 10 rounds.

that will be plenty..

 

Added some crucial info.
