You don't get around the ban, you live within the law or you may not have to worry about owning firearms again. That's the harsh truth. The only alternative is to move. SRM
You don't get around the ban, you live within the law or you may not have to worry about owning firearms again. That's the harsh truth. The only alternative is to move. SRMI found some assault rifles i'd like to get but I have no clue how to get around the ban.
yeah, EVERY gun is illegal inside the limits of NYC. only the rich can have guns/ concealed carry permits.I don't know about the rest of the state, but I was told the AR-15 is completely illegal in New York City where I currently reside.
I mentioned this in an earlier thread, but I was recently informed that in the event of any sort of "incident" occurring with a firearm you legally own (Be it a misfire, accidental discharge, theft, etc) then your licenses are suspended and all of your remaining firearms, if any, are confiscated until after an investigation is conducted as to the nature of the incident.
This frightened me enough to say, "That's it, I'm heading to a neighboring state that's much friendlier." Can you imagine having to use your weapon against an assailant in your home only to have it and all of your other weapons taken from you by the police afterwards? For anywhere from one month to several? What if the assailant had a couple of friends who are going to be mighty ticked off that their boy got dropped? If they're hanging around after the fact and they see the police walking off with all your guns, you better believe they'll be back later that week.
Now, keep in mind that I have absolutely nothing against the officers in NYPD. The ones I know are great men who hate these rules as much as the regular citizens. It's the bureaucrats I have a qualm with.
On a side note, I was looking into getting a good rifle for my wife to wield once we move to Pennsylvania. I was showing her the Mini-14 and one of the Bushmaster M4s, both with telescoping stocks to fit both her small frame and my larger frame. She read up on them and wants the M4! Woo! :thumb:
Nope, you can get most "assault weapons" in NY, they just need to be in a modified configuration.. think of the clinton AWB ban.. that is what NY has.ARs are banned in NY?
