Im going camping in upstate NY in a few weeks and I was wondering what I have to do to bring my firearms with me and still be legal?

 

I wanted to go shooting with my uncles while we were up there and I mentioned that I have picked up a couple guns and would bring them but I failed to check the laws first.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Long guns, fine. Pistols, nono.

Scott, where do you intend to go shoot? I had a similar question as I'm going to the Catskills soon and wanted to maybe find a range or something...

NY doesn't allow handgunners to come in to the state to shoot unless it's a sanctioned event. I don't know the long gun rules.

Do not take any handguns into New York. Unless you are an Olympic shooter or a competitor at an NRA event there is no where in the state that you can have them.

 

Long guns are fine upstate.

Remember NYS has a 10 round magazine limit.

 

I also believe they have a Mag pre/post ban thing.

a shotgun should be ok, right? I probably won't anyway... won't have time to shoot.

Yeah shotguns are fine.

Thanks for the help guys....I knew the members here would have the right info to keep me safe!

Bringing this post back up, I'm doing the same thing with my AR... Bringing it upstate, so does this mean i have to bring/buy a 10 round magazine? I can't bring my 15 rounds, even just for the weekend?

Nope - no 15 round AR mags even for a weekend - unless they were made prior to September 1994 (pre-ban)

A weekend in NYS with a post-ban mag larger than 10 rounds will earn you a longer stay compliments of Andrew Cuomo and his goons.

Hahaha, I don't need a longer stay. Thank you for the help
