All Class 3 with the exception of a couple AOW shotguns that can count as pistols, anything banned by the former federal AWB, and I don't know the rules on destructive devices... but pretty sure things like the street sweeper are no no's.

street sweeper is definitely out, it's named

(ix) revolving cylinder shotguns, such as (or similar to) the Street
Sweeper and Striker 12;

Forgot to add some cities have there own rules. For example, in Albany AK's are out. HiramRanger can back me up on that. You will probably want to check with whatever city you plan on going to and also, check with the ATF in Albany. I have found the ATF guys in Albany to be very helpful.

It's the City of Albany only. The rest of Albany County is fine for AK's, AR's etc. as far as I know.

Also, I'm not sure why you would contact the BATFE regarding municipal-level regs, they're feds and don't enforce local laws. I'd say call the Albany PD if you're headed to Albany.

I moved from NJ to OH about 10 years ago. I still own property southeast of Watertown, North of Syracuse. Get this.

I can't carry, use, or have in possession any handguns on my own property, let alone get caught transporting them through the state.

I can't carry/shoot/transport my FN police autoloader because the mag capacity it two high

I can't carry/shoot/transport any of my postban ar's mini 14's: Nor any 30 round Mags for each.

BUT: I can bring up my pre-ban AR, with all the thirty round mags I want, preban of course.

That is all but stupid.

How does NY state law supercede Federal Law?

In the same manner that Ohio state and local laws regulate the sale, transfer and possession of firearms and ammunition. Don't the cities of Cleveland, Dayton and Toledo ban or place additional restrictions on the possession of certain firearms within the city limits?

Until either a federal or state court strikes down these laws it's "game on".

I think cleveland does, but it's hard to enforce because they used the backbone of the Clinton gun ban, but that's expired. Columbus just passe a law, which is being fought. Toledo had some type of handgun restriction, but that has since changed do to the CCW legislation passed about a year and a half ago.

I just bothers me that they take 3k a year in property taxes from me, and I can't feel at home on my own property.

It's not going to get any better in NY as long as the NYC and western NY libtards have their way. If Spitzer is elected in 2006 and the Republicans lose control of the Senate you can expect a new improved NYS AWB that will make your current preban illegal for you to possess in NY. You can also expect additional restrictions on ammunition and a complete ban on .50 caliber weapons.

My advice is to sell your property and buy a farm in PA or VT if you want to stay in the area.
