The long and short of it is, my parents aren’t the healthiest and likely don’t have a lot of time left. My wife is miserable being away from family. Ultimately we don’t want my kids to miss out on time with their grandparents, so we’ve been discussing moving back. I’m melancholy about it because frankly, I know what it entails for my gun collection; it’s got to go.

Ohio has been great for gun stuff, I mean really great. Three suppressors, two SBRs and if I see it, I can buy it. Pistols require a 4473, background check and take it home. Transferable machine guns in the gun case at the local fun store are not an unusual sight.

The downside is, we’re isolated out here. It’s actually a bit more expensive than Upstate in a lot of respects. Cheaper in others.

I’m fully aware that things have changed since we left in ‘21, but what am I in for? I understand a permit is now required to own any semi auto, ammo requires a background check and bound book entry. What else?

Is there some type of long term storage you can plan in OH? Though I don’t know how that works with stamp items. You can have shotguns, and need to be a long time resident to apply for pistol permit.

I guess the question is, would you be returning to OH after?

I have the option to store a few items long term. Not everything.

With my SCAR-16 SBR I can swap the 10” barrel with the 16” and turn the stamp in. My other SBR is a grail AK-102 5.56 compact rifle, so it’ll suck to have to sell it. I don’t think any SOT would consider logging them in and stashing them away somewhere.

Do permit applications specifically require continuous residency? How long? I have my old permit but I know it was likely discontinued when I left.

The truth is I don’t shoot much out here. But I hate the idea of giving up so much of what I’ve worked my ass of to acquire. My family would be worth it, but it pisses me off.

I think eventually I’d move out again, but as my kids get older it’ll be a lot harder to uproot them.

Permits depend on the county. Most require years of residency, then you need references from the same county also with years of residency. Being fought in the courts but yeah…

If you didn't surrender your old permit don't assume that it's gone. If you move back I'd update the address on the permit and noones the wiser
I'd find a way to keep the non compliant stuff in storage or extended family if possible
Where are the parents located? Could you move somewhere just over the border and commute a short ways to see them
Bring as much ammo with you to avoid jumping through the NY ammo hoops any sooner than you have to

Parents are in Syracuse half the year and in The Villages the other half. We talked about moving to Scranton, PA so the commute is an hour and a half on 81N but I don’t know a lot about PA laws. We also talked about Ocala, FL but if something happens to my parents they’re going to default to NY where the bulk of my family is.

My job is remote so it ultimately doesn’t matter where we end up.

only need semi auto "license" to purchase, not own. That's likely not necessary to move stuff in since you are not buying.
Would suck to give up the supressors, etc.
PA has okay rules for most of the stuff, but I bet the drive would suck pretty soon.
Driving just over an hour to my mothers gets to be annoying.
I would look for storage for stuff you cannot import back in legally. In minecraft I might be tempted to just keep it all around in a locked case in a locked closet.

This is still in the “maybe” stage as the soonest we can move is about a year out anyway. And if the housing market cools too much we’re not going anywhere. I’m not losing money at the same time as liberty.

I guess I can pray really hard that the courts intercede and spank NY, but logically I think we all know the left wouldn’t give up so easily, even if the courts were to rule for individual liberty in such a short timeframe.

Driving doesn’t bother me. Right now we’re 7.5 hours away and with the two- and four-year-old, road trips are simply hell anyway. My son pukes reliably thanks to car sickness and my daughter doesn’t tell us when she needs a bathroom break until she pees through her car seat. The Scranton to ‘Cuse commute would be like a Sunday drive.

Man, just think about that- 7.5 hours west-southwest is the difference between having Kathy Hocul as your governor or Jim Jordan as your congressman. ETA: realistically even shorter than that. I think it’s 45 mins between the western-most tip of NY and the eastern-most bit of Ohio, assuming there isn’t construction in Pennsylvania or a confluence of shitty OH/PA/NY drivers sharing the highway.

Are SKS and Garands still good to go? Beretta 1301s?

Standard SKS and Garand are gtg by state law.

A semiautomatic shotgun having at least one of the following characteristics:

a. Folding or Telescoping Stock
b. Thumbhole Stock
c. Second Handgrip or Protruding Grip that can be held by non-trigger hand
d. Fixed magazine capacity in excess of seven rounds
e. An ability to accept a detachable magazine
View Quote


So your 1301 is probably gtg.
ETA- the semi-auto purchase thing is rifles only so doesn't apply.

I don't think there is a residency lapse issue with the PP
I left for a few years and they either didn't care or didn't ever know.

You're supposed to change address with them.
Now you've missed at least one 'mandatory' re-cert.
Neither is a crime since you weren't possessing in NY without it.

It's at least worth going to the county clerk and asking if you can update back to full status.
Especially if it's a 'good' county.
If you can, you can also easily amend the semi-auto rifle purchase to your PP.
Starting over now is going to really suck.

NY SBR law is for possession of complete guns.
'Constructive' possession can be an issue but strip the guns and store parts in multiple places and it's close to zero.

Probably no reason to 'de-stamp'

ATF has to approve relocating registered machine guns, SBR, SBS or suppressors across state lines or possibly even to different cities in the same state. They won’t permit moving them to NY as an individual.

I would have to ‘destroy’ or sell the items and turn the stamps in, or find an SOT willing to log them in and hang onto them long-term while I figure things out. Then I’d likely have to pay the tax to get them back. In the case of my SCAR, it’s easy enough to pull the barrel. The AK, suppressors have to be sold. My AOW Mossberg might be legal still, and I can possess on a pistol permit.

Skip past guns for a minute.


You’d be moving to one of the worst economies in the country, and it’s tanking fast.  Even democrats are leaving- half a million last year.

The atmosphere against conservatives is acidic.  Crime is going through the roof.  


NY schools are now rated below FL.  

We will be leaving for FL so our children, and their descendants, have a better life.  Mom and Dad also have said when it’s time they will quit snowbirding and stay in NY.  That’s their choice; mine is to look forward for future generations.

It’s for the children.

Find a place in Pennsylvania within a nice distance to your parents,  100 times better than coming back here.  Don't give the vampire state any more of your $ than you have to.  Don't move back here single party rule ensures this place is fucked and will get worse.  There's no adults left in charge here, they are free to enact their biggest and most idiotic leftist pipe dreams, for them the sky is the limit and no peaky Constitution is going to stop them.  I'm not even really talking about guns here.

If you move back here you'll regret it more than you realize, plus IMHO you'll have to seriously consider homeschooling.

Honestly the better answer is to have the parents sell their stuff and home and move to you. I understand needing to care for family, which is absolutely the only barely legitimate reason to move to NY as a gun owner.
I left 7 years ago, and still have a brother,sister and a couple nephews there. If one of those key family members got critically I’ll, I would go help TEMPORARILY only.

I appreciate all of the replies, guys. I want to stay in Ohio, but I’m only half of the equation. My other half is miserable being away from family. It’s weighed on me since the two weeks BEFORE we moved to Ohio, almost two years ago. Nothing I can do about it; believe me, I’ve tried.

We had grand plans coming out here and for the most part, those plans blew up on us. In her mind now we’re only here for my hobby.

The job market around C’Bus is outstanding. Schools out here are very good, too and we both have trepidation about what the public schools in NY would teach our kids. But none of that is enough for her.

No chance whatsoever any of my family would consider moving out here. They don’t make an effort to visit.

As in, they’re considered NY complaint from the factory, or they need a California butthole stock plug to be compliant? Brownells says they’ll ship them into NY which is unusual for Brownells to indicate unless the rifle is good to go.

I’ve disposed of a few handguns in Ohio and purchased a couple of others. The acquisition side is easy to deal with by sending them into an FFL. How would I go about amending my permit to remove the sold guns without disposition paperwork?

Kinda both.
Gotta fill the hole but it looks like some are sold as compliant by the maker or distributor now.

I shoot so much with my thumb on the wrong side(ARs) I forget which way is normal.

ETA - Brownells tells me I can have a thumbhole stock and DBM SL8 model that I'm 99.99% sure I can't.
Could be a real mess when the FFL gets it but won't transfer it.

Really look at pa .. it’s a hell of lot better than ny..  

You can own class 3 items, ltc (ccw), and can own semi autos so far.  Even hunt small game with semi now.  

Your ltc is 45 day process without a paperwork of ny (the size war and peace) and hope you get in 2 years.  

yes it’s turning more blue but still hell a lot better than nys.  

I would never move back to ny or nj I still have family back in those liberal holes..

Yeah, those have to be sold or in the case of my SBRs, reverted to rifles and stamps canceled/turned in. In the case of my AOW, it can likely be added to my permit since it’s technically a 12-ga smooth bore pistol. Haven’t found anything in the penal code specifically addressing AOWs. Unless I can find a plain barrel, I’ll have to sell my FNX-45 Tactical too, which pisses me off as well.

The reality is, I’m likely going to sell everything and come back with my pistols (transferred to a dealer in state), a couple of bolt guns, lever guns, my Garand, Beretta 1301 and I told my wife, a Manurhin MR-73 Gendarmerie.

People who are arrested and prosecuted for violating NY’s bullshit gun laws are political prisoners. Nothing less.

Ohio has virtually no gun restrictions in comparison. According to the most recent FBI UCR, Syracuse has a per capita violent crime rate of 280. It’s almost the exact same number as Columbus, OH.

NY’s gun laws aren’t about reducing crime, they can’t be because they don’t fucking work. They’re about inconveniencing political rivals. C’Bus is awash in arms, Syracuse is not and the violent crime rates are almost the same. Syracuse is a tiny, low population city and C’Bus is a huge, high-population city.

It’s such a shitty thing.

This is all you need to know about the Federal government and Medicaid money; The Families First Coronavirus Response Act of 2020 gave billions in Medicaid and food-stamp funding to states conditional on NOT restricting rolls to exclude ineligible Americans such as able-bodied, working-age adults.

Maybe he's weird or picked a bad place?   Of the tons of people I know who've left only one elderly couple (WWII Veteran) moved back and that was because they were 80 and wanted to move back to be with their kids and grandkids.  Now they've both passed and somewhat ionically their kids and grandkids left NY.

 Heck half my graduating class is living outside of NY too when I think about it.  Think of all those tax dollars used to educate those people and become productive citizens elsewhere. Lol

PA just over the border along the 81 corridor is where I'd be looking if I were you

This is the right answer. If it were me with money invested in FA stuff no way would I move to NY. Just across the border is way more freedom and a much cheaper living.

Thanks for the info. We are kind of old and on fixed income. Would hate to move back home only to go broke. Imagine moving back and getting blindsided with only having to pay even more.

They're saying in the news this morning that gas prices in NYS will jump .60 a gallon because of the shenanigans NYS is pulling. I can't imagine how that is going to impact people on fixed incomes because you know everything else will go up too

Been looking in PA to be near Endicott NY which is where home was. For 1 1/2 years now we have been looking and there is not a lot there and some of those homes doe not look to be very well built. Finding a decent place has been tough.

Slightly off topic but there was an article on a computer industry news site I follow reporting that IBM is shutting down the only remaining IBM office in Endicott. With that shutdown, IBM will have completely vacated the community where it was started one hundred years ago. IBM will still have a large presence in New York, including headquarters in Armonk, but just not in Endicott. I knew the shut down plant #1 about 20 years ago but did not realize they still had a presence there.
