In NY, if a cop finds a HANDGUN in your HOME, you are liable for time in jail. My new neighbor (I was transitioning from CO to NY) is a police chief. When we were yapping about hardware, he told me this. He told me that,"I never heard that you have a dozen pistols transitioning from CO to NY, un-registered. This is why, 15 years later, my wife of +30 years and I are moving to LAke James, North Caroline. BTW, any of you good Conservative/Republicans, y'all should consider LAke James. It is very pristine. Only about a hundred homes on the Lake right now. Do your homework about the lake.
Cheers.
