What is the easiest way for a person who legally bought a pistol in CA, and intends to move to Westchester, NY, to legally posses, transfer ownership, or dispose of it? It's a Glock 19.

The easiest way is to apply for a license in Westchester. After your friend gets the Westchester license, he can go back to a free state like Pennsylvania where it is legal for him to possess the firearm. Your friend had it in a storage unit there or a friend's house because he couldn't bring it into NY legally. He ships it from a PA FFL who will then ship it to a FFL in Westchester.
Once the pistol arrives in Westchester, the FFL will give him a receipt that your friend will take to the county clerk to have his license amended to have that pistol. After the license is amended, your friend can go back to the FFL in Westchester, do a background check and take the pistol home.
Its nothing new...just guys at the top covering their ass.Marsoc eh? I was a Combat Engineer in Pendleton. Did 2 floats on the 11th Meu.
My avatar is in honor of you guys. Sucks the Corps doesn't want to officially adopt it as it stands with the skull for the Raiders.
Political correctness at its finest.
Welcome. Glad you made it.Thanks, I'll pass along the advice.
Sadly, very true.its kind of California East!
Thanks for the reply. If I've already had an NICS check with documentation of it, does it speed that process up? Right now my plan is to drive the pistol from CA to PA and drop it off at a dealer to hold for a small fee until I am ready to receive it. Dealer then sends it to NYS dealer when I am ready to apply...maybe...could be a law hiding somewhere I didn't readIn New York, you cannot legally touch a pistol without a permit. In Westchester, you'll need to own a pistol (yes, that you cannot legally touch) before applying for a permit so that a serial number of at least one pistol can be put on your permit application. That initial pistol will need to be in the possession of an FFL. So, you'll need to have your CA pistol transferred to a Westchester FFL during your permit application process. Once your Westchester permit is approved, you'll be sent your permit card with your pistol/serial number on the back and a coupon to take to the FFL. The coupon authorizes the FFL to release the pistol to you if you pass your NICS check.
In case you're wondering, obtaining a pistol permit in Westchester usually takes 9-12 months.
NY has got to be worse than CA. All I did in CA was wait 10 days, easy peasy.its kind of California East!
No. You could have a license from another state, been a former cop, been the Sgt Major of the Marine Corps and it would make no difference.Thanks for the reply.
