I know it's VERY illegal for me to bring my gun into NYC even if it's for use at a range. However, is it illegal for someone to bring their gun from NYC to here to shoot at a range? Or, Penn-cy?

 

Any help would be appreciated. I have a client and she and her hubby want to meet up and shoot. Just trying to facilitate it.

New York is f'd up. Handguns are not allowed to be even TRANSPORTED through NYC/NYS unless going to a NRA Sanctioned event.

 

It is legal for NYC legal gun owners (those who have jumped through more hoops than us in NJ) to bring their guns out of state to shoot.

Yes, the laws are very tough. She proposed that I bring my gun to shoot when I got it as we discussed it several months ago. Thank GOD I asked a friend about it as I wouldda been cuffed and stuffed for it in a hurry. To top it all off, the range that she belongs to in NYC will not let me shoot without a NYC permit which I can't get as weapons are permitted to a residence, not a person. I ain't got no residence in NYC.

Bring 'em to NJ to shoot then.

You ever try and get someone to come from that direction over the bridge?

As others said, someone from NYC can bring their HG to NJ for target shooting, just have to abide by the transportation rules and possession exemptions... as in directly to and from the place of target practice, etc.

 

As everyone said, its a no no to take a HG from NJ into NYC; though if you were passing through lets say to get to CT, FOPA will technically cover you while you transport through NYC on your way to CT from NJ. Of course all FOPA rules must be obeyed. I'm sure you'll still be arrested, charged, and will have to prove FOPA protects you in court, but just sayin...

Actually I have. Some of my friends who have NYC Permits brought their guns out to Ft Dix with me.

So, joining the gun club in Staten Island will be a no go for me? I had slightly high hopes since there are 2 ranges within 4 miles of my house...but they're in SI.

SI is a borough of NYC, no-go.

Isn't there a skeet/trap range in SI? If so, that's ok - long guns are ok (as long as they're NY Compliant).

Thought we were talking HG's, but yea long guns have different restrictions, just like NJ.

hmm. Colonial Rifle and Pistol and Richmond Boro gun club have both indoor and outdoor ranges.

Oh yeah - with rifles I believe NYC only allows .22s

So here's a question, lets supposed this big permit reciprocity act goes though. Would we new jersey people be able to carry in NYC on a florida permit? How ironic would it be if we could carry there but not at home?

That would be great. My gf could carry to work and not get her ribs fractured again by pos NYC residents who were to poor to afford food (or an xbox) and were forced to resort to crime.

Hypothetically yes.... but will depend on the laws as it comes out of senate.

You can be assured that if this law passes Bloomberg and various other anti-gun dickheads in NYC and NJ will spout off about "We are vigorously challenging this law, anyone caught in our jurisdiction without the proper NY/NJ permits will be charged with (insert whatever they can come up with).

I sure as heck hope so - because I will be carrying......
