Well if I were worried about NYSP checking for out of state ammo purchases I'd run 858 instead of usual routes. They probably thinking the same.
Buying ammunition in Pa ?

But there's so many different qays
Having travelled countless roads in NYS and the bordering PA counties for over 40 years, their BS does not surprise me in the least.

For fuck sake...really? You guys are seriously worried that the NYSP are specifically targeting NY plated cars traveling from PA back into NY with NRA bumper stickers on them so they can profile you, perform an illegal search, and put you in jail for bootlegging a box of .22 from out of state? Really? Please tell me I'm missing the sarcasm! If not, this state has turned you into a bunch of cucks/pussies afraid of your own fucking shadows. Geeze.....

No, I'm not concerned with it at all. I was pointing out if NYSP are going to do that, those back roads are where they're going to look.
I won't think twice about making an ammo run to PA.

Just rent a Prius and put a Biden bumper sticker on it. Ultimate camouflage. Just stay out of gay bars.

You guys are busy worrying about the trooper car... What about the drones telling him which car came from the PA gun store?
Obviously the only solution is full urban camo on the tops of all of our cars.

So let's say you're stopped by the purple tie brigade and they illegally search your trunk and find legally purchased ammo. What happens? Why is this something to be concerned about? As usual, I'm confused.
Possible Purple Tie Squad questions, and likely answers (some based on prior experience).
License, Registration & Insurance. Here you go, officer.
Where are you going? That direction (pointing forward).
Where are you coming from? From back there (pointing behind me).
You know your vehicle is in violation of... Actually, it is perfectly legal back in my state that it is registered in...
Do you have any weapons on you? I am licensed to carry (here), and I am carrying legally.
Do you have anything illegal in your car? Lawyer.
If you don't have anything illegal, why not let me search your car? Permission refused. Lawyer.
I think I smell dope. Nice try, officer. Am I being detained, or am I free to go?
I am going to call in a dog. Am I being detained, or am I free to go?
(After illegally searching) Why do you have all of this ammunition in your trunk? For improved traction, and better weight distribution.
You know it's illegal to bring ammunition into New Yorkistan. What law would that be officer?
I'm arresting you. (Silence).

I have no doubts that the wicked witch of the east is working on it.
"illegally search" says it all right there.
Don't drive a POS that's got mechanical deficiencies or isn't registered & insured. Don't commit traffic infractions, and don't draw attention to yourself... For three decades I've driven all the way to Florida and back and was only stopped once in a NC Speed Trap on I-95, and believe you me, if they had stopped me and I allowed a search, there would have been questions...lots of them.
If you want to drive to PA or any other state for the matter and buy as much ammunition as you can, then do so and don't worry about the Troopers...they've got better things to do over trying to make up cases.

I was merely pointing out seemingly aberrant NYSP behavior which seemed to coincide with a well known gun shop moving from NY to PA as well as a run on ammo, by NY residents, to PA shops. It’s casual observation and speculation for me, that’s what the internet is for! Don’t think for a moment Heil Hochul and friends haven’t already gamed all this from any number of angles, though. The threatening letters to out of state businesses from Hippopotamus Jones are probably already written and postmarked.
Personally, I buy ammo where and when it is opportune, with cash, and I reside in a free(er) state. I ceased purchasing it in NY with the onset of burdensome regulations, even when I lived there.

Simple don’t speed, keep the ammo out of sight, and no officer you can not search my vehicle. What’s best is it’s perfectly legal to buy ammo in PA.

What’s the next fear gonna be? Out of state gasoline in our tanks? Out of state produce? Canned goods? No- I got it: clothing. Untaxed shirts and socks. What in the ever-lovin’ FUCK are people worried about regarding buying ammunition from outside the NYS border? Unlike handguns and (now) semi-auto rifles, it is lawful and possible to buy ammunition from another state and drive home with it. Just like you could buy body armor while you’re there, and bring it home, too. The Troopers can’t do anything regarding this to impede or prevent it from happening.

I would say the ever-lovin Fuck is..... The NYS overlords have conditioned NYS serfs to not trust them, or in some cases to actually fear them. You know damn well NYS will jump on just about any opportunity to fuck with gun owners, that's obvious as it happens over and over. To some NYS gun owners venturing into a free (or free-er) state for the first time they don't know what to expect from that free state, or what to expect from the LEO community upon crossing back into NYS. I plan to venture to another state to buy ammo at some point and have found the info here helpful, even comforting LOL.
I've got news for you: The Thugs and Criminals ARE going over the Boarders or having someone buy/steal guns, ammunition, and damn well anything else NY prohibits or frowns upon...perhaps there is something to learn, even mimic.What’s the next fear gonna be? Out of state gasoline in our tanks? Out of state produce? Canned goods? No- I got it: clothing. Untaxed shirts and socks.
The only thing people care about is........Toilet Paper!What’s the next fear gonna be? Out of state gasoline in our tanks? Out of state produce? Canned goods? No- I got it: clothing. Untaxed shirts and socks.

Learn the laws, operate within them to avoid being detained, arrested or prosecuted. Doing something that is legal should not cause fear or anxiety. Perhaps a little reflection on the chance that this could be blocked in the future, sure, but outright fear of being surveilled or stopped upon returning to NYS? There is no law or reg prohibiting the purchase of ammunition in any other state (providing you are able to lawfully purchase said ammo; see CT, IL, etc) and returning to NYS with that ammunition.

Not sure what you’re getting at here. Mimic the criminals? I’m aware that bad guys are trafficking arms from outside of NYS into NYS. Buying ammunition outside of NYS and bringing it home is not prohibited or unlawful. Sure, you can add “yet” or “so far” if you want, it it’s still lawful. So why be afraid doing that? People in this thread are talking about doing it, and then saying they’re afraid of getting caught. Makes zero sense. If you’re afraid of getting caught (for doing something that is not prohibited, but you still think is going to get you jammed up) you wouldn’t broadcast your intentions, right? That’s a pretty bizarre disconnect.

The only thing "illegal" about that is not paying the sales tax. Yep, sounds weird but its true for any product that you buy and did not pay NYS sales tax on. That was a big thing years ago with NYC people going to Jersey and buying clothes, appliances etc.
Untaxed cigarette purchases on the Res can be a reason for a stop, even from out of state.
Stopping everyone on the t-way at the state line will not happen.
Ammo is not cigs...............possession of older items,not taxed by NYS is a loser to begin with....
T-way has capability to track motorists with suspicious travel habits........but what is suspicious?
Hamburg to Erie for a job, nor Binghamton to Scranton, is not a suspicious ride 5 days a week.......
Occasional ammo purchases in Pa, by cash is not illegal in NYS..leaves no CC record to match with any tway records.
I go to Pa several times a year......will I need to show my papers?
The US Constitution forbade such antics regarding interstate travel.

There’s a tax stamp on cigarettes. There’s no such stamp on or for ammunition. Try again. I’ll wait.
