Ammo background checks to begin mid-September?

[FP1201]

Doesn’t mean it’s a law. Also what long guns was he trying to buy? Legally speaking you can purchase a long gun not in your home state of its legal in your home state. An FFL can refuse to sell a gun to anyone at anytime so your first hand knowledge means nothing legally speaking. They can sell you any long gun as long as it’s not semi auto or an assault weapon. Semi auto is fine if you have the endorsement and not an AW.

Several years back I stopped at a Gun Shop in Ohio (along I-90 I believe) and they had a very clear sign that they DO NOT SELL GUNS (maybe ammunition too?) TO NEW YORK RESIDENTS. Pretty well gave them the FOAD and left... besides, I was already loaded heavy from Knob Creek.

Yup, we are a fractured lot when it comes to standing together.

If you think there is some logical useful reason why NYS has become a NICS proxy you're missing the purpose and intent. The purpose I believe, is to make it more difficult and annoying for legal gun owners to purchase ammunition. And as a fringe benefit, if you do concede they get you bubbled up into an "active ammunition buyer" database AND a sweet tax to boot.
INCREMENTAL elimination of 2A rights. It's an ingenious plan.

This is NY. There is nothing logical or useful about it. I know it's a plot to reduce rights bit by bit.

Long as I've been in the game, the bullshit NY is and has done against gun owners is mostly an inconvenience to me. The travel bans of covid did hamper my out of state excursions, but that ship has returned to port... I expect there's a half percent of the population that should legitimately should be prohibited and filtered out via checks, but those same people WILL get what they want through other channels, same as they have ALWAYS DONE, the Legislature knows this and knows the non-gun AND Anti-gun people will think this all perfectly fine, which will work to their re-election benefit, which ultimately is what its all about... when the total collapse happens and it becomes open season for candidates, you should know the players.

 

[Cattafly]

Was he given an explanation as to why they wouldn’t sell it to him or was he just told flat out no he couldn’t buy it? I’m not disputing you , just very curious as to why they refused to sell him a lever gun. If anything , out of state FFL’s should be helping to stand up to this tyranny.

He was just told they couldn't sell to NY residents. PA does have a state run background check system, maybe that has something to do with it.

 

[Defilade]

As it is right now PA businesses can't sell a firearm to a NY resident. Don't you think Hochul and James are already working with PA officials to ban them from selling ammo to us as we speak? Look, I don't agree with the data required to purchase ammo but I do know that by me calling and emailing and doing many other things such as owning a car that government already knows all those things about me. The main objective in all this is to put law-abiding FFL's out of business all the while getting us to argue amongst ourselves.

So they are saying they own you?

 

[Cattafly]

So they are saying they own you?

You may not like it, nor do I but our own government knows a lot more about you than many think they do. Unless you are a hermit and have absolutely no contact with anything you can and will be in their data base. Think about it, if you have a S.S. number they have been tracking you since birth.

 

[Willyone]

So they are saying they own you?

They know you/us, and all too well. Jump thru the hoops to get a pistol permit, make the purchase and fill out the paperwork for a gun and or ammo and NYS and the feds have the driver license no, SS no., credit card info (if used), address, etc. With the SS number they follow you from birth. Buy guns/ammo they not just follow you, they watch you. I'm sure the state & feds swap info, or at least have access to each others info upon request on every citizen, especially gun owners. And I believe they put every gun owner on some kind of watch list.

Do they "own you"?... not literally. But you/we are becoming their bitch real quick like.

 

[Vapor]

Only for hand guns I THINK. All I know is that there are a few PA gun shops right over the border here who do sell long guns to ny residents provided that they are legal to own in NY. Aka they aren't selling you a full featured ar, but will see you a Henry .357. I know because one of them purposely stocks featureless ar for that purpose. I also know because they said they would sell to me.

That doesn't mean that individual stores don't want to deal with the hassle and refuse to sell to ny residents. Your experience may be just as valid.

Oh I understand that, And hopefully you realize all of that is illegal right?

I am not their property nor do I have a contract with the Corporation they work for.

Our Legislator is on it: Not a bombastic attack, but he has been in the Shop and IS asking questions and addressing problems as much as he can.

 

[pshift]

They know that ammo deliveries for NY'ers are being made elsewhere out of state and being driven to an undisclosed location... . Expect your trunk to besearched, like fireworks. They may make ammo illegal, next...

Get rid of the fuk'n background "music" and maybe he could be heard.

If you're going to bringing home bacon from out of state. Stay off the Thruway and leave the Thruway EZ pass with someone else. Have a out of state bacon permit if you have one. Any bacon you purchase is strictly for personal consumption.

Questions:

1. I read concerns about buying ammo out of state, and bringing it back home across state lines. Is it legal or illegal to do so?
   1. If it is legal, then tracking cars via EZ pass or any other means, stopping people, searching their trunk, and discovering ammo, is pure harassment, and of zero consequence? While I certainly object to that kind of harassment, it is NOT like fireworks, since fireworks are illegal in NYS, right?
2. Are private ammunition sales affected by this at all?
3. Also, since it is mentioned in the video in post 852, is it legal to "gift" ammo? I.e. can one give ammo for a Christmas or birthday gift?
4. What if one goes to a LGS, and brings a box of XYZ ammo to the sales counter for purchase; the clerk runs the background check, and the result is "delay". What happens to that box of XYZ ammo? Does it go back on the shelf, or does the LGS "hold" it for you? If they "hold" it, that means they will need to store and organize any "delayed" ammo? If they don't "hold" it, what happens if you come back after the "delay" clears, but XYZ ammo is now out of stock? The background check fee is paid up front. I'll guess NYS will say that's tough titties for the LGS, but curious if anyone knows the facts?
   1. While it seems many LGS's are changing their procedures for transferring online ammo purchases (and of course, I do not blame them one bit), what happens if one orders a case of ammo shipped to their local FFL, but when they go to pick it up, they get "delayed or denied"? Buyer pays the NYS fee for a background check as well as any shipping/restocking fees to send the ammo back? Seems very unfair to the FFL and ammo supplier, as well, of course to the buyer having his/her right denied.
5. Has anyone seen any documentable list of quantity limits, or frequency limits for ammo purchases?
6. Is writing a post like this on a public forum going to result in my being "delayed or denied"?
7. Is there a documented list of reasons for "delay or denial"?

"I tried to go to a range in PA, but they were closed. I brought all this ammo with me, and my wife is gonna be pissed that I'm bringing it all home."

Make them prove otherwise.

When I get on the Cattle car will I get a shower after?? That's where we are at just so you know.

Oh I do but also know the majority of gun owners won't bitch to anyone but themselves.

Oh they can sell it but must ship to a NY FFL to pick up. That does not take a background check to do until you pick it up in NY. Have you witnessed a background check to a NYer who walked out the door legally?

False. I can sell NY compliant long guns to NY residents and ammunition as well. I cannot sell any semi-auto rifles unless you have your pistol permit with your amendment and you are 21 years of age an older.

 

[PA Guns & Ammo]

Actually, are you sure about that?

@PA Guns & Ammo have you gotten any direction to stop selling long guns?

Only thing that changed in NY was background checks for ammo, but that is in NY, not in PA. Im not required to ask for ID when someone is buying ammo unless they may be under that age of 18 or under the age of 21 when buying handgun ammo. The new background check system in NY that is being handled by the state police has nothing to do the buyer. Pennsylvania is already a point of contact state and the state police here run the background check system so NY is doing the same thing.

 

[Acer-m14]

They need probable cause to stop and search. Just seeing ammo isn’t illegal so no reason to stop and search. Drive legally and you will be fine.

your plate light is out .. but its not really out

stay in the car ..

we need to bring the Ammo K9 unit in for a sniff


ohhhh delaying a traffic stop for a plate light that you can not confirm is not working ..



" DO NOT CONCENT TO A SEARCH "

 

[Deplorable Me]

Who's to say someone didn't put ammo in their trunk and drive to PA?

 

[GTN]

False. I can sell NY compliant long guns to NY residents and ammunition as well. I cannot sell any semi-auto rifles unless you have your pistol permit with your amendment and you are 21 years of age an older.

Really!?!
I guess I need to come see you

Says Who ??

what if a New Yorker showed up with a m14 he already owns ??

where is the PA law on that that you cant sell another one to him ??


no hate on you ..

but this is just BULL SHIT ..

 

[Acer-m14]

 

[Saltwater60]

It was a Henry lever action .410. My friend goes to PA every couple of weeks and is on a first name basis with numerous FFL's. I don't know if it's a law but why would several dealers not sell him a long gun? I'm telling you what happened in actuality not some hearsay that I heard from my cousin's friend who has a friend whose uncle used to work for the state police.

I’m not saying I don’t believe you I’m just saying that’s not the law as you indicated in the first post on this. I actually believe you 100% that this happened because they can’t keep up with NYS laws, don’t care to or are afraid of AG James.

It’s not PA law it’s NYS law. FFL’s can only sell guns legal to own in your home state to you. You need the semi auto endorsement to take possession of them as of now. Sucks but it’s the truth.
