Paper Cartridges for Revolvers

[Jim Strang]

So, John, what does this mean for a skirmisher visiting a skirmish in New York? Are we subject to confiscation/fine/imprisonment for possessing a skirmish revolver along with the components to make it work? :shock:

Jim,

With my very limited knowledge of reciprocal State Law, I am unable to answer that question.

There are a number of N-SSA members in New York State who are, or have been, involved in law enforcement in the State of New York, and who are far better versed on this topic than myself. Perhaps one of them will weigh in.

hi all,
in theory if stopped outside of nyc while in nys you would be okay for your long arms as long as the ammo was separate from the weapon. if you are not a new york state resident you should be able to transport your c&b through the state. as far as a skirmish it is allowed under penal law section 265 under the exceptions. you just cant be in the state earlier than 48 hours from the start of the competion and you must have a program type pamphlet and be able to prove you are competing. in reality most cops wouldnt know what to look for as to know if you have all the stuff needed to really shoot it. nyc is different they are going to lock you up and then you have to prove yourself innocent. cops in nyc are not going to differentiate between an antique and a modern handgun. so if your coming to nys for a skirmish dont get pulled over and dont give a cop a reason to know what you are carrying in your vehicle. avoid that and you should be fine.
