Former resident of NY, Traveling to NYS this weekend (upstate) can I legally possess my handgun as long is i follow NYS laws. I am a current resident of TN and have my carry permit. I know I cannot carry in NY but can I legally possess?

The interwebz is a bad place to ask for legal advice but I can pass along this...

A very brief search on google u would find this answer... No you can't.

Also being a CCW holder already you should know what state have reciprocity with tenn.

Not trying to throw u out on a limb but I live in NYS now, I'm only 20 don't have a permit and ik that...

Believe me.. Ik New York sucks ass!!! I can't trick out my ar15 at all..

I'm sorry, I didn't see that u asked about possession not carrying.

Being that nys is crazy about pistols and the fact that you NEED a permit just to hold one in a gun store as to own one, I would say no u can't.

I can't even make a pit stop in NYC with a long gun without possibly getting a felony charge...

Best thing to do it not risk it and leave it home...

Ik for a fact tho that if you were going to drive through the state with no planned stops then yes you can have it but I has to be locked in the truck with the ammo separate in the car..

"It is unlawful for any person to carry, possess or transport a handgun in or through the state unless he has a valid New York license."

Right from nys gun laws

Yeah probably not worth the risk. I have traveled via car and brought it but as soon as I get to erie PA, I unload lock and separate ammunition..Im flying up this time and don't want to risk the TSA possibly reporting to the state and ruining my trip..NYS is a bit extreme on Gun control laws and that's one thing I sure do not miss.

Ur flying? Leave the thing home...

Unless u want to give away your pistol.. I'll take it if u don't want it

[ecohitman81]

Yeah its stayin home..it is legal to fly with if it is checked baggage locked in box and all that good stuff according to TSA site and delta..just been itchin to put some rounds through new sr9-c had it two weeks and no time to take to range yet..was hopin to break it in back home on the acres and acres of land my folks have..o well

[hockeyjr1]

U can if u go to a state that sees your pistol permit.. Nys background check is like the ones the ATF does for class 3 weapons... Crazy hard they try to find something that they can say no too..
