If I go into NY for a competition or match that I am registered for, and have proof of registration, and I have a pre-1994 legal pre-ban AR15, have I covered all of my bases? Thanks. |

Assuming you are at least 16 years old then you're good to go. Just remember any +10 mags must also have been manufactured prior to 09-14-1994. FYI: You don't need any competition registration (or anything else) to shoot at a range or possess a long gun in NYS. |
Thanks for the info. However, I do need the registration to bring in my pistol(s). |
Roger that. Just like I'm traveling under FOPA.
Yeah . . . there's a NYSP trooper here on ARFCOM who has shown a terrible attitude and lack of knowledge (combined with a hair trigger propensity to arrest first and figure out the law later). |
who be dat?
That goddamn Aimless guy must have struck again

Here's the Archive thread: archive.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=690621 I'll let you figure it out for yourself.

Just make sure you are in compliance with all the other requirements enumerated in NY PL 265.20(13). ............................. ยง 265.20 Exemptions. a. Sections 265.01, 265.02, 265.03, 265.04, 265.05, 265.10, 265.11, 265.12, 265.13, 265.15 and 270.05 shall not apply to: 1. Possession of any of the weapons, instruments, appliances or substances specified in sections 265.01, 265.02, 265.03, 265.04, 265.05 and 270.05 by the following: ............................. 13. Possession of pistols and revolvers by a person who is a nonresident of this state while attending or traveling to or from, an organized competitive pistol match or league competition under auspices of, or approved by, the National Rifle Association and in which he is a competitor, within forty-eight hours of such event or by a person who is a non-resident of the state while attending or traveling to or from an organized match sanctioned by the International Handgun Metallic Silhouette Association and in which he is a competitor, within forty-eight hours of such event, provided that he has not been previously convicted of a felony or a crime which, if committed in New York, would constitute a felony, and further provided that the pistols or revolvers are transported unloaded in a locked opaque container together with a copy of the match program, match schedule or match registration card. Such documentation shall constitute prima facie evidence of exemption, providing that such person also has in his possession a pistol license or firearms registration card issued in accordance with the laws of his place of residence. For purposes of this subdivision, a person licensed in a jurisdiction which does not authorize such license by a person who has been previously convicted of a felony shall be presumed to have no prior conviction. The superintendent of state police shall annually review the laws of jurisdictions within the United States and Canada with respect to the applicable requirements for licensing or registration of firearms and shall publish a list of those jurisdictions which prohibit possession of a firearm by a person previously convicted of a felony or crimes which if committed in New York state would constitute a felony. |
