I saw a sign at Hessney the other day saying that to buy a muzzleloader, you need a NICS check.
Do you need a background check to purchase a muzzleloader in NY?

In a recent conversation with my favorite FFL he did confirm this. The BATFE form 4473 does not cover this. NYSP cannot answer questions as to how to process them to comply with NY law. You can buy them in PA.

Pleased open the link and scroll down about half way and the answer is very clear.

Muzzleloader/Black Powder Rifles/Shotguns
Are dealers required to run a NICS check for muzzleloader/black powder sales/transfers?
No, that would be a prohibited use of the NICS system, and the FBI does not allow it."

I didn’t, but that was pre ammo-background-check. Perhaps just another case of a curmudgeon shop creating rules out of thin air?

What we SHOULD BE doing, it starting a database for ALL of these unconstitutional shops, & unconstitutional people, etc etc etc....
You are either FOR the constitution, or, you are NOT. If NOT, you should be put on a blacklist, and watched!
Just like the ELITES and their ARMY of THUGS are doing, to us!
Educate before eradicating: More than once I've been wrong even after reading and re-reading the Laws.
Being brought a simple screen shot or Page Print of the governments FAQ would be enough for most to check up on their own, and if they don't want to believe or demand that you're wrong, well that's their Right, and it's their privilege to sell or not sell an item, especially a gun or ammunition...that said, if you want to play stupid games, don't be surprised when customers vote with their feet.

Voting with our feet is how we got to where we are today. Gun owners won`t run for public offices. Most are to busy to be bothered. When they get bothered to much, they all just run to a free state.

Yes muzzle loaders, flint lock and black powder guns require a background check in nys. That was part of the changes when they rammed the CCIA thru was they changed the definition of what constitutes a gun (rifle shotgun firearm other etc).

This may be inconvenient for law abiding gun owners, but it should cut down on all those drive by muzzle loading massacres I've been reading about.

The CCIA Bill is what put the writing on the wall for that place, they closed shortly after, he refused to modernize anything

I'm waiting for high powered air guns to be required as a NYS background check.

The only thing you don’t need permission to do is masturbate. NYS wholeheartedly endorses you going and fucking yourself.

I have to politely disagree with your last sentence..... NYS would much prefer that THEY, get to fukk you harder than you can, yourself.
Conflicting information from the State? Say it isn't so...
Speaking with a Dealer about it, the State has a new Form where a check is conducted, but it doesn't use the FBI NIC system....maybe the same program as ammunition? And if you can be approved for any one there is no reason why any other ones should be required.
On a tangent, BGC's were going through pretty well today at the Show: only one "delay" (about two hours) out of ~15 checks today...didn't ask anybody doing ammo checks how they were going, but didn't hear anyone bitching about it.

The state uses their own system for gun background checks, which is illegal, like a shit ton of democrat new age bullshit, but who from the federal Attorney Generals office is going to open an investigation, let alone prosecute!
The state may coordinate with with the fed's NICS but they now control it in this state. Ask your gun shop owner.
