Hello, I am seeing if anyone here also knows about NYC and the rifle and shotgun section.
I own a ruger 10/22 ( currently located in long island ).
I tried to register it with a green form "disposition report / registration certificate"
I mailed it in as specified, and got nothing in the mail for two weeks. Local law here says that I must have a registration certificate otherwise the rifle is illegal.
So I called the dept, and was told that I cannot register the 10/22 due to it being sold with a 10 round magazine.
I assured the person that I have no such magazine as I know the law limits to 5 rounds.
The person said the rifle cannot be in the city and must be removed immediately.
NOW, the LAW is the LAW. semi auto rifles are allowed as long as they dont have any evil features. not even a pistol grip.
Ruger Magazines comes in all sorts of capacitys, 5,10,25, 50 etc.... The law says that it is illegal to posess a mag in excess of 5.
But to deny my registration? Are 10/22 illegal for NYC ? it makes NO SENSE.
Does anyone here know what a registration certificate LOOKS LIKE ? post a scan perhaps please ? Is it the same form I mail to them ?
I read that the certificate of registration if buying from a NYC Dealer is given right away along with the rifle or shotgun, but I buy my guns in long island.. what is that I need to do ?
Thanks for any help you can provide...
