Redhawk,
There is this thing that is NY that is NOT New York City.
Eric,
Laser scopes are perfectly legal in NY. The use of them is restricted. Any device which actually projects a dot onto the target cannot be used to hunt any animal that is "protected". For example, no on deer, yes on woodchucks. The type of scope that does not project a dot, ie "red dot" scopes, are fine for any purpose.
