Im visiting family and friends in [insert county name here], can I bring my rifles and pistols?
Again, rifles and shotguns are ok so long as your rifles and shotguns dont violate the AWB of NYS. Dont bring post-ban large capacity magazines (mags more than 10 rounds) unless they are pre-Sept. 14, 1994 manufacture. When entering the state, have the weapons locked in a case in the trunk, separate from ammunition (put the guns in the back and the ammo up front, or have some measure of separation between them). Do not keep the weapons loaded, it is illegal in NY to transport a loaded rifle. It probably isn’t wise to transport loaded magazines either. Do not bring your pistols to any part of NYS. NY is very strict about this. NY doesnt honor any pistol permits but its own, there is no reciprocity! Save yourself the trouble! Now for the NYC rules: NYC issues separate permits for all handguns, rifles and shotguns. If youre just passing through, then keep the weapons locked in a case in the trunk and dont stop until youre clear of the city. Do not bring weapons into the 5 boroughs of NYC
