Traveling In NYS With Handgun Not On Your Permit

[BerettaGuy]

Ain't it great to be a New York'er.

like everything in the Kingdom Of Cuomo, everything is illegal. This is the way to control the population. So I do whatever I want, I go wherever I want. I really don't worry about "the law" too much. I KNOW where I can carry and where I can't.

I am, generally speaking, an extremely law abiding person. But some of these restrictions that New Yorkistan puts on everyone is ridiculous. You can't drive across New Yorkistan without breaking some law, somewhere. It simply can't be done.

so do what you got to do, go where you want. Just be aware of your surroundings and TRY to behave. If you're driving and get stopped for whatever reason. Be nice, be jovial, don't volunteer any information. Take the traffic award and move on.

Yes, you & your son can put the same handguns on each other's license.
BUT, I've read that...IF either one of you get into "any" kind of altercation (bad divorce, disputes, bar fight, bad argument with girlfriend, roommate, etc.. ), anything that would cause the law to come and confiscate the other one's handguns. They will take all (yours & his) the guns, because "all" the handguns are listed on both licenses. just a thought.
(for me, I would stick with the co-sign owner doc's. just my preference.)

Like you said, what if your car breaks down, accident, traffic stop, etc...
If your son's handguns are not on your license, I would not risk transporting it up to him "just for a few hours of fun" vs. criminal charges. Basically, you'll be in possession of an unregistered (to you) handgun.

I don't think that's correct. I have a friend who owns a lot of handguns here in New Yorkistan, and is married. He was arrested over some misdemeanor BS a few years ago. The cops came and demanded that he turn over all of his handguns pending the outcome of his case. His wife showed them that all of them were co-registered on her permit, and she told the cops that they could not have them. They weren't happy, but they left without them after warning him "not to touch them". His permit was later reinstated when the charges were dropped after he got a lawyer and went to court. Of course, that cost him a few thousand dollars.

FUNY and FUAC too!

I'd have to see that in writing.

Went through this 15 years ago with the Niagara County clerk. Had to drop My son's guns off the permit(and mine off his) as he moved to another address. Don't have it in writing, just experience. IF this situation applies to YOU, I would call to confirm before the worst happens. Last I have on the subject

Livingston county must be good to go.

UPDATE:
I spoke to a clerk at the Westchester County pistol permit office and to my surprise they allow
handguns to be put on 2 different permits as long as both permit holders reside at the same address.
Thanks for the suggestion, I never read that anywhere and would of never thought of it.

Glad this is working out for you!!

Robin, not so easy to leave NY.
Jobs, kids and older parents are a few of the things that may keep you here.
Most people die living 50 miles from where they are born.
Because of taxes, fees and fines I do agree with you.
I always wanted to move to North Carolina but because of
those things previously mentioned it probably will never happen.
Just my 2 cents about NY.

 

[meketrefe]

Don't!
ship it to a FFL holder and then add it to your permit or whoever else is going to handle that gun.

 

[Snappo]

My son and I both enjoy all aspects of shooting.
He lives upstate and I live downstate.
All our firearms are kept in a gun safe with me downstate.
He comes downstate from time to time and when he does we sometimes go shooting.
What if I decided to visit him and traveled with one of his handguns
not loaded in a lock box similar to what's done when traveling interstate.
That particular handgun would not be on my NYS permit.
How bad would that be, locked up, felony, etc.?
The problem is you never know when you might get stopped, moving violation, accident, etc..
Probably not a good idea !
Is There Any LEGAL Way Around This ?
Thanks in advance.

I think you would end up at Rikers for years and years. Ask your local county sheriff office if those weapons can be on both of your carry permits so either of you can transport to the other.

 

[TopShot]

meketrefe, why would I do that ?
Transfer it to an FFL and then transfer it back.
I want it to be on 2 permits, not transfer it from 1 permit to another.
I don't understand, please explain.

Not at Rikers Island but at Westchester County Corrections.
I don't live in NYC anymore..... Good Riddens !
I already spoke to Westchester County, they said it was okay to do.

 

[garyv350]

Co registered in Westchester is no problem with same address period. You will be good to go. You can even add and remove pistols when co registered without FFL.
Once you do this you'll be good to go. No more discussion necessary.

 

[TopShot]

I appreciate the feedback.
I'm only responding to the posters.
I already posted that Westchester County said it was okay.
People read the question and sometimes don't read the entire thread.
That's okay, I thank them for chiming in and appreciate all the responses.

 

[Doc8404]

Glad it worked out.
Oneida county doesn't allow i unless married AFAIK.

That's fine as soon as you don't travel w. the pistol w/o being in your permit.

You'll get no argument from me, I am retired, my kids with grandchildren live out of state, for obvious reasons, and it wouldn't be terribly hard for me to pull up stakes, though I would probably take a pretty good hit on my house and land. I stay because I truly love where I am, and so I stay and fight on in any way I can. I may change, but for now its dig in and meet them at the gates.

I would co register them and bring them all to Colonie, a little friendlier then downstate and when they come to inspect your "safe" you can show them an empty box and say they are stored at your 2nd residence

 

[TopShot]

Good idea, but I live downstate and handguns would not be as easy to access.

 

[nortatoga]

@TopShot where do you go shooting when up north?

My Gun Club should be opening membership in Oct, we are about 6 miles north of Saratoga Springs (Sara Spa Rod & Gun Club ) indoor range is 24/7

 

[TopShot]

nortatoga, I haven't yet but this is where I would go.
The Indoor Gun Range
$15 an hour.
About 25 minutes away.
Checked it out last Saturday.
Would serve the purpose for handguns.

I know a few guys who live in Westchester and the County came to inspect when he purchased his 12th handgun. Not before then.
