I sold a 75 rd drum on Gunbroker and come to find out the customer lives in Fulton NY. I have contacted the State police and ATF regarding what laws they have and they are clueless. Does anyoe know if it is legal to ship a hicap there? The drum has no date so when were the last drums imported?
 
IMO, ATF will be clueless when you call to ask if something is legal before doing it. They'll suddenly be right on top of it and quote the parts of subparts of laws when they visit you to arrest you for having done it. Advising you not to do something scores no points. Being able to set up a raid and file paperwork about it, that's career points.

Talk to a lawyer if you're not sure. Many companies have stopped selling to NY residents, or stopped selling anything over 10rds to NY residents for a reason.

The official line I've seen seems to be:

No Sales of High Capacity magazines manufactured 09/14/1994 or after

But if the burden of proof is on you, and you don't have a pre-94 reciept that'd hold up to court scrutiny...I wouldn't sell one to anyone in NYS, is all I'd say.
 
I refunded the gentleman and sold it to another feller.. Something just felt wrong about the whole deal. He kept wanting me to hurry and ship even though he paid with a personal check. I am betting it was becasue he didnt want me to get clued in on the laws.. Thanks for the help!
 
Advice: Snag the "won't ship X to these states" lists off several major firearms accessories sellers, compare them, and put your own on your profile to point to. Saves hassle.
 
Boone,

Smart move to refund the money. Don't want to end up in Gitmo for selling into NY.;)

How's life? Still filming yourself at the range?

Smart move. Unless the magazine was made prior to 9/94 you would be committing a crime.

It shall be unlawful to possess any "assault weapon" or a "large capacity ammunition feeding device". So called "assault weapons" lawfully possessed prior to September 14, 1994 and "large capacity ammunition feeding devices" manufactured prior to such date are grandfathered. A license shall not be issued for a handgun defined as an "assault weapon."

Doing well my good man.. Atually havent been abel to make it ot the range for a few weeks.. Getting my 07FFL and have been working like a mad man trying to get ready for the inspection.. Might go this weekend tough:)
 
Little of this and a litle of that:) I will be doing some gunsmithing and making milled and pressed receivers for various guns, mainly Ak's. FAL's and Ar's. Live in the great State of West Virginia.. Todays paper showed the Governer shooting a Colt AR at the grand opening of a range, gotta love it:)
