My son may be moving out to Long Island as he has been offered a job there. Are the gun rules worse than Jersey out there? What does he have to do about the guns he has bought and registered here in Jersey?

Some NY rules are better, some worse.

 

10 round mags max

Will need a pistol license for pistols.

 

There are other differences as well, but those two are the only two coming to mind right now.

not too and head south..

I would check on a NY site to get the proper information. NY has some very rigid handgun laws and just bringing in a handgun to some areas is a violation.

 

I will not offer any suggestions as I'm not familiar with their statutes. Try this as a start. http://www.handgunlaw.us/

 

The biggest problem is that NYC has separate statutes that are more involved that NY state areas. I have no ideas what the island has as far as statutes and if they follow NYC or the state.

just what I was going to say. you are dealing with federal, state and local laws there.

 

Another point of refrence is http://www.nyfirearms.com

Long Island has the same laws as the rest of the state. The NYC laws start at the border of the boroughs.

Thanks all, we'll do some research this week. I was really hoping he would get a job offer in PA or TN, two other places (among many) he was looking. Guess it is hard to find high tech job in this economy.

I found out today that he is in Suffolk County. We passed a gun shot and they had a big sign in the window that said "We Help You With Pistol Permit Process". Interesting!

 

The place was called Edelsman's Pistol Service and looks to have been around for a long time. Here is an excerpt from their web page re: LI gun permits. i am betting it is not cheap!
