questions about NYC license

[foxtail]

I currently live in Nassau County but will be moving to NYC in September and have a few questions. I only have rifles and shotguns.

1) What firearms are banned/allowed in NYC?

2) NYC only allows 1 rifle to be put on a license every 60 or 90 days. Is there anyway around this requirement? Is there an exemption for people moving into the city for the first time?

3) Will being pescribed adderall be an issue with my permit? Out of curiosity how will they know what I am prescribed?


TIA

All I can find is 5 round limit and no ARs. Is there a feature test like the rest of the state?

On August 16, 1991 the Mayor signed Local Law 78 which banned the possession and sale of certain rifles and shotguns that have been classified as “ASSAULT WEAPONS.” THE FOLLOWING IS THE DEFINITION OF AN ASSAULT WEAPON

(a) Any semiautomatic centerfire or rimfire rifle or semiautomatic shotgun which has one or more of the following features:

1. Folding or telescoping stock or no stock.
2. Pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon.
3. Bayonet mount.
4. Flash Suppressor or threaded barrel designed to accommodate a flash suppressor.
5. Barrel Shroud.
6. Grenade launcher.
7. Modifications of such features, or other features determined by rule of the Police Commissioner to be particularly suitable for military and not sporting purposes. In addition, the Police Commissioner may, in such rules, designate specific semiautomatic centerfire or rimfire rifles or semiautomatic shotguns, identified by make, model and/or manufacturer’s name, as within the definition of assault weapon, if the Police Commissioner determines that such weapons are particularly suitable for military and not sporting purposes. (b) Any shotguns with a revolving cylinder magazine. (c) Any part, or combination of parts, designed or intended to readily convert a rifle or shotgun into an assault weapon.

Doesn't the one rifle/shotgun every 30 days only apply to new purchases? Aren't you technically transferring already legally purchased firearms to a permit? - I'd call the rifle/shotgun division on this.

I don't know the answer to the adderall question.

[foxtail]

I called the licensing place today. It is 1 gun every 90 days not 30. When I get my license I can register as a 1 time CURTOUSY Adderall shouldn't be an issue as long as my Dr. OKS it. I need one license for a hand gun and one for a rifle. 2 background checks must be done and 2 fingerprints must be taken.

Geeze, good luck man.

You'll also need to stash your guns somewhere as you can't take them into the City until you get your pistol license and rifle/shotgun permit.

You also by attaining legal NYC firearm status surrender your privacy in your home. By accepting the liscense, your authorizing NYPD to stop by, any time, and inspect your firearm in its locked storage. Whatever else they may see or encounter inside your home they do not like, will be used against you. Also, check out NYCGuns.com

Huh? Got any reference for that? Also there's no mandated locked storage for long arms afaik. I've been stuck with the BS NYC rules for 5 years now, I'm not an expert but I've definitely done my share of studying the regs.

(d) Pursuant to New York City Administrative Code § 10-311(c), any person who applies for and obtains authorization to purchase, or otherwise lawfully obtains, a rifle or shotgun shall be required to purchase or obtain a safety locking device at the time s/he purchases or obtains the rifle or shotgun. Pursuant to New York City Administrative Code § 10-311(d), the City of New York and its agencies, officers or employees shall not be liable to any party by reason of any incident involving, or the use or misuse of a safety locking device that may have been purchased in compliance with these rules. The permittee shall take proper safety measures at all times to keep her/his rifle/shotgun from unauthorized persons — especially children. The permittee’s rifle or shotgun should be kept unloaded and locked in a secure location in her/his home. Ammunition shall be stored separately from her/his rifle or shotgun.

Note: Many rifles/shotguns that are stolen in residential burglaries are taken from bedroom closets.

(e) Pursuant to New York City Administrative Code § 10-312, it shall be a criminal violation for any person who is the lawful owner or lawful custodian of a rifle or shotgun to store or otherwise place or leave such weapon in such a manner or under circumstances that it is out of her/his immediate possession or control, without having rendered such weapon inoperable by employing a safety locking device as defined in section 3-12(b) of this chapter. Such offense

shall constitute a misdemeanor if the offender has previously been found guilty of such violation or if the violation is committed under circumstances which create a substantial risk of physical injury to another person.

(f) While there is no limit in the number of rifles or shotguns the permittee may possess, s/he should be advised that permittees who own several rifles/shotguns shall be expected to safeguard and maintain each rifle or shotgun.


I can't see the home inspection thing in the actual laws, so my friend might be wrong. The storage requirement is there though. Look on NYCGuns.com for the NYC specific gun laws..

I laughed at his padlocked gun case when we went hunting the first time, and he told me about the locks and inspection.. Ammo separate locked container.

The storage wording is a load of crap, which is par for the course lol. I don't think a law that states "should be kept unloaded and locked in a secure location" holds too much water, and for that matter if it's in my apt that is most certainly a locked/secure location. The whole "should be" thing would cause some issues in court, imho. If it's a legal requirement, why the ambiguity?

The safety locking device part is definitely more clear, but if I'm in my home with the gun I'd argue it's in my immediate possession, no device required. If' I'm not at home, how would they check to see if it's secured with a locking device? And they can't just invite themselves in to check if it's locked whether I'm home or not, so I'm not sure how that could ever cause an issue.

For the record I have a safe and whenever I'm not home all of my firearms are locked up. I do that because I think it's the responsible thing to do though, not because it's the law.
