A NYS resident can have a NYS-legal AR. duh.
NYC residents cannot have the same rifle in NYC. duh again.
Can the NYC resident leave a NYS-legal AR outside the city as long as its locked up?
Can a NYC resident get prosecuted in NYC for owning an NYS-legal but NYC-illegal AR in a summer home upstate, or left with a friend on LI, etc. ?

"Any resident of the city of New York acquiring a rifle or shotgun outside the city of New York shall within seventy-two hours after bringing such weapon into the city make application for a rifle and shotgun permit, if such person does not already possess such permit, and for a certificate of registration." (so just don't bring it into the city?)
"It shall be unlawful for any person who is the lawful owner or lawful custodian of a weapon, as that term is defined in section 10-311, to store or otherwise place or leave such weapon in such a manner or under circumstances that it is out of his or her immediate possession or control, without having rendered such weapon inoperable by employing a safety locking device." (so it has to be locked no matter where it is if you are an NYC resident?)
