I have a transport question:

 

I am going to a friends private home upstate NY at Lake George. He said there's a range where we are going to shoot, and I would like to bring my handgun if I can.

 

Is it legal for me to bring it properly secured from my home to his in NY and from there to and from the range?? Or is it against NY Law b/c I don't own or live at the NY residence?

 

I tried researching and it looks like I can't do this - but just wanted to ask the forum because everyone is much more experienced here. Thank you.

Not allowed unless you were participating in a match.

And have written proof of such.

Bring a rifle instead. Make sure the mags only can hold 10 rounds or less too.

Nope.....dont do it

 

 

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk excuse the spelling

Ok the handgun is staying.

 

BUT I can bring O/U and compliant AR, correct?

This link is all you need to know...law allows rifles if you are shooting at a "duly" commissioned range for hunting or target shooting..don't know if friends house counts...new York laws just as bad as jersey

OK thanks guys for the help!

 

*Also, this trip just came up last minute and I'm leaving in a couple hours so didn't have much time to research myself. Good to have NJGF, this forum is awesome for info!

Does it work this way for Vermont too? I was planning to go visit a friend up there later this month and he shoots on his property. He said I should bring mine up to shoot. Handguns and rifles. Now I am hesitant. I wouldn't do it if it's a gray area or flat out wrong.

New York, New Jersey and California all vie for most retarded when it comes to firearm laws.

Vermont is a MUCH different story than New York. You are fine there. Just remember to lock that handgun up unloaded and secure in your trunk for travel through New York state.

From what I know, VT is fine. I go up to our family property there every year and we bring long guns and handguns (legally passing thru NY bc of Safe Passage Law).

 

Apparently you can open and concealed carry there without any license as well - can anyone confirm this?

This is true. And not just Vermont residents.

Info is much appreciated. I had no idea I could CCW up there, thats great to know. I actually travel through NY only for a short disatnce, across Tappan Zee and then into CT and Mass but I don't stop anywhere on the way when I go up there and definitely would not if I had my guns with me. I will certainly keep them locked in the trunk and unloaded if I take them. Until I cross the border into VT that is.

New York laws are bad. And they are different from Jersey's. But I would never call them worse.

 

Ordinary residents can get carry permits in the majority of New York. In some places carry rates are quite high.

 

NY laws are different, but Jersey is far worse.

 

If you compared Jersey specifically to NYC, overall, I would agree. But you have a better chance of getting a carry permit in NYC vs. Jersey as well (still low).

NY laws are better (in many parts of the state) for carrying if you actually live in NY (and if you don't there's no difference), but buying and owning HG's in NY state is much worse than NJ.

If I have to leave it at home then it's always worse. There's no consolation prize once that is established.

Yes, because the only thing in the world that matters, is whether or not you can carry every waking moment of your life. < sarcasm off >

 

Would I like to be able to carry whenever I felt it was necessary, absolutely - do I feel you have the right to carry whenever you want, absolutely - but chances are, 99% of the population will never find them self in a situation where carrying will prevent them from being harmed. The point is, for me, if you think about it statistically, worrying much about not being able to carry is a waste of energy.

 

That being said, I will be glad when SCOTUS (as I'm inclined to believe will happen) jams carry down NJ's throat.

I'd also suggest printing out a copy of the safe passage laws. I literally got into an argument with a friend's husband that is a NY state trooper when he told me i couldn't even pass thru NY with a handgun. He is a pro-gun guy, and he told me he wouldn't bother giving any gun owner a hard time that was responsible, but it scares me to know that we know more than some of the leos out there. You can beat the rap, but you can't beat the night in jail.

Per NY laws, he's right. There are only two exceptions that allow non NY residents to have a handgun in their possession; Olympic training or an NRA event in which you are a participant and have all the entry materials with you and then it's only for 48 hours. Other than that, there is no possible allowable legal reason to have a handgun in the state as a non resident. FOPA is an affirmative defense. NY has a long history of ignoring FOPA, particularly at the airports and on the highways within about 50 miles of NYC.

I carry in Vt all the time. You just have to be legally allowed to own a firearm and 21 or older.

If you look at things that way, then I guess nothing in life is all that important, right?
