A New York gun shop, built for New York rules

New York has the tightest gun laws east of California, and most national stores answer by refusing to ship here. We ship within the rules. Handguns need a pistol license from your county licensing officer, or the NYPD License Division in the five boroughs, and the gun is added to your licence when your dealer transfers it. Semi-automatic rifles need the state's semiautomatic rifle license, at 21 and over. Magazines stop at 10 rounds. Ammunition goes to your dealer, not your door, because the state background check happens at their counter. None of this is legal advice; your licensing officer and your dealer have the final word.

The catalog leads with what New York hunts: bolt and lever rifles in .30-06, .308, .270, 6.5 Creedmoor and .350 Legend for the Southern Zone opener on the third Saturday of November, slug shotguns for Westchester, Long Island and the other shotgun-only counties, Adirondack lever guns for the Northern Zone, and rimfire rifles that need no licence at all. Handguns are shown with 10-round magazines for licence holders.

The city pages cover 22 New York cities, downstate and upstate: where to pick up, who issues your pistol licence, your Wildlife Management Unit and the nearest DEC ranges.
