new york state gun sales law
You guys are so wise. I have one for you.
I applied for my carry permit in new york. I wish to buy a gun from a seller in new york state. When I get my permit I will get a pass that allows me to purchase one gun with out a back round check! Can I use this to by a gun from a private citicen or does it still have to go through a dealer if we are both in the same state???
Thank you in advance.

Get a bill of sale take it to the sheriff's office or clerk, they will enter the gun on your permit and give you a purchase coupon that you give to the seller when you pick up the gun.
Now remember every county in NY does it their own way, some will give you the coupon the same day, while others make you wait weeks until the county judge approves the purchase.
The best county would have to be Delaware, they let you buy 3 purchase coupons in advance so you always have one in your wallet when that great deal comes your way.
I live in Ulster County and I can just walk in anytime before 4:30 PM and walk out with the coupon within 5 minutes.

Guns don't have fingerprints; they have signatures that can be changed in a moment.0 -
i would check with your sheriff's office of the county your permit is issued in to be sure. Call the pistol clerk and ask they will tell you exactly what to do. Im in Delaware County and we have it easier than any I know of.
God gave us all a gift. Have you found yours yet ?0 -
Thank God there are still places where you don't have to go through this BS just to buy a gun. Here, private sale, just hand him the money and get your gun.

Keep in mind every county is different. The permit laws are state laws, but, they are run by your county clerk and judges. When I got my permit here in Monroe county 10 yrs ago, you could purchase before you applied and send the reciept in with the permit application. When the permit came 6-8 months later the gun was already on the permit and your pick-up coupon was there in the envelope with it. You just went to the dealer and got your gun. That was just before the Brady law passed though. I'm not sure you can still do that, but you should ask. By doing that I also saved the county clerks fee for registering it.

Glad us Southern boys don't have to hassle with that...friends,flea markets, and the local ads work just fine down here....Get out and vote and get everybodyelse to also so we can pass S659/S1806 and then let's repeal the AWB..
Be well and keep your powder dry

With such blatant affronts to the Constitution and fanatical beauracracy, its any wonder why any gunowner still lives in NY. I am glad I am in Florida.

I live in Rensselaer County. Here the county clerk's pistol permit clerk would be suspicious of anything other than a dealer purchase, but she would accept a private bill of sale from a pistol permit holder (you'd need a copy of his/her permit) only to another permit holder. Then she would want to verify that the seller was taking the handgun off his/her permit (probably want that in writing). That all takes a couple of days, assuming she isn't on vacation or sick. Then you or the seller (your choice) get the "green card" in the mail which permits you to recieve the handgun. This could all take a week or so, assuming that both the clerk and the judge aren't sick or on vacation. In that case it just takes longer. YOU better not get sick or go on vacation or it takes even longer.
Our pistol permit clerk is a very nice woman who is very pro-gun (her dad is a longtime FFL dealer with a nice little country gunshop and she is an avid handgun shooter). But she is very cautious and conservative when it comes to new rulings. For example, as far as I know, she does not recognize C&R licenses at all when it comes to handguns. If you want to sell a C&R handgun to a a C&R dealer out-of-state, it must go from an NYS FFL holder to an out of state FFL holder. You need to show her proof that it was shipped by an FFL holder in NYS to another FFL, or she will refuse to remove the gun from your pistol permit. So someone has to pay both FFLs, one to recieve and ship, the other to recieve. That can be a deal breaker when the gun is low price.
And in Rensselaer County, there is no such thing as an antique handgun. If you have a fireable matchlock, it better be on your permit, doesn't matter if it was made in 1398, let alone 1898.
Guess what--there are MUCH worse counties here than Rensselaer (although they are all easier to spell). I won't even get into how the county mounties in some areas define "concealed weapon"! Or how they read the legal handgun hunting area rules. Sometimes, folks, "local control" ain't all it is cracked up to be....0
