sadly, that is not a problem I'l have to deal with

Does a stripped lower require a pistol permit to purchase or just the NICS check?

so I have an uncle who has a vacation home in PA. Is it legal for me to leave my handguns there (locked and properly stored, and maybe even with the cylinder or slide removed and kept with me just for both of our's protection) while having a NY license and not having residency in PA?

my wife and I have been considering buying a vacation home in PA anyway, so might be somewhat feasible

yeah I'm not planning on having anything illegal. I have zero desire to challenge the police or anyone on what is legal and what is not, so everything will be compliant. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks

so, this may be a very dumb question, but how does NY check the legality of your rifles? I ask not to know how to violate the law but to make sure I am compliant when I come up. Do police go to gun ranges and check weapons? Do you need to bring them to a police department and have them give you...

this is pretty much my plan. I'm not attached to them and can spend the money I make back doing some AR builds and getting some other rifles

fair enough, I'll probably grab a 10-22 at some point, I mean everyone should probably own one in the course of their collecting. I like the 15-22 because of the AR platform and practicing with it cheaper than a standard AR.

yeah I was thinking the same thing since you definitely cannot swap the trigger guards on it. I'll probably do the spur for now and I'm putting a thorden on another build I'm doing so I can swap it over and see if i don't like the spur

thank you very much for the information. I'm probably most upset about the Smith as well, but it is replaceable. The problem with having and FFL hang on to them in NY is that there is a chance that I may move out of NY after a year, so I don't know how much of a hassle/how expensive it would...

Thanks for the input, I will do all of that. I saw some discussion on the LI firearms about new owners, but wasn't sure what that is about. I can't believe an anti gun group bought that forum. there goes my plans to donate to that site. Thanks for the heads up

if by volunteering you mean being dragged back by the wife and family things, then I guess so...but I don't take it personally, i'm just glad I found a forum of people to commiserate with

crap...

yeah, don't think I haven't thought about that already. I guess we'll see in a year, but depending on the next steps I take in my career, we may have no choice but to move out...which wouldn't be the worst thing

duh, guess I missed that. Thanks!
