Is there a reference post for someone new to CNY from out of state?

The post topic pretty much says it all. So far everyone has been very helpful but if there is an FAQ or other posts out there I would like to know about it. Getting used to the tighter laws and the county-by-county regulation is new to me. Where I come from gun legislation is state-wide and you can enter a bank with a chambled pistol, concealed or not with an unregistered weapon!! Needless to say, bank robberies are somewhat rare per capita.

Better yet, have a reference post as a sticky in the newbie forum. That would be awesome.

There's a few stickies at the top of this forum...

Laws and Politics - NY Firearms

What specifically are you looking for info on? I would suggest moving to the Law and Politics section and asking there. Lot's of helpful people here.

I guess the title didn't say it all... Yep - I was looking for something like a beginners guide to owning guns in NY. I will check out the above link.

Well the most obvious laws concern what your rifles, handguns and shotguns can or can't have which is a sticky in the Laws section. Just remember if anything is pre ban then the current restrictions don't apply to the firearm or accessory.
