Need Penal Law info on Shipping HANDGUN OUT OF STATE...

[Scubacat]

Ok, long story short, I recently sold several handguns out of my collection. It's been awhile since I've sold any handguns but knew the federal law says I could ship a handgun to another FFL/dealer or FFL manufacturer directly via UPS, FedEx, or DHL.

The pistol permit clerk for my county says that I

1.) Need to provide a copy of the FFL AND a letter from the FFL stating the model and serial number of the weapon they got from me.

2.) NEED to ship the handgun through a FFL for it to go ANYWHERE.

She says this is part of the NYS penal law. I just picked up my dadsd 2018 copy of LooseLeaf Law Firearms and Weapons Laws to begin looking up anything relevant....

Anyone else having g to go through this in their county?

Your County clerk is correct.

How long has that been the case? They've never mentioned this or asked for this extra documentation before when I sold a couple of handguns.

It is not part of the express terms of the Penal Law. But because of the system that is used to track pistol licenses and guns it is required in all or almost all counties in New York State.

If you don't comply you will incur a license revocation, so you are obligated to do so.

So this is not necessarily a state reg but counties can opt in or out of requiring this?
