Hey everyone! I have been an avid hunter and gun 'buff' for quite sometime now. I have read this forum frequently in the past and decided it's time to sign up and jump into the mix.
Question about the Law in NY state. I live about 3 hours north of NYC (I try to avoid going there at all costs). A buddy of mine that is a NYC resident owns a house down the road from me up here in the mountains. He comes up here on weekends/vacations. We got to talking about firearms the other week and he wants to buy a rifle up here from the local shop. After a little shooting in my yard, he was hooked. However, he does not want to deal with the hassle of the endless NYC paper work.
Question- Is it legal for a NYC resident to purchase Rifles/Shotguns upstate (outside of NYC) and keep them at their house up here. The NYS Penal Law does not mention anythign against it. The NYC Laws on the NRA webpage don't really touch on this area either... they mainly refer to the rules about posession within the 5 socialist boroughs. Handguns are not even an option for him... as the entire state is heavily restricted. Rifle/Shotgun purchases up in this part of the state just require an ATF 4473 form and the phone call.
When he asked me about this, my answer was 'I honestly don't know'. My advice to him was just to change his address to his house up here. He caught the 'bug' after I let him shoot the Ar-15 and the 30-06!
Anybody on here with an answer or any insight? I tried using the 'search' menu on here. However, none of the posts really touched on this topic.
