My new toy....tangled up in NY red tape.

I've managed to get my service pistol....sort of.


(Not actually her, but a good representation)

My father in law had a contact through S&W, and he was entitled to a discount since he'd taken an armorer's course through them. He very generously offered to make the purchase for me, then we'd do a transfer, thus saving me a boat load of money.

The dealer told him that thanks to NY's new gun laws, he wouldn't ship to my father in law, even if he was a LEO (NYPD) First we'd need someone with an FFL to take the purchase, then the guy backed out completely and decided he wasn't shipping to NY at ALL- not with 15 round mags.

He did however, point my father in law to a dealer in Queens who would give him the piece at the discounted rate.

My father in law called the other day, he's got it, picked it up with everything I need. My county told me all I needed to do was procure a 'bill of sale' from him, and the transfer would be done.

.....Except that now that's changed. The new laws state that there needs to be a background check performed by a licensed dealer because its a 'private sale.' So now, I need to contact a dealer, pay them money to do a background check, all to make a transfer of a firearm between family members.

I'm spending a maximum of 3 years working in NY, then its time to GTFO, this is insane.

Nice, I like the M&Ps

I have one of those.  It's a great pistol. 

15 round, yeah.

Absolutely 0% of the LEOs I've come into contact with since the institution of this pecker-headed law are leading only 7 rounds in their magazines. I don't plan on being the first.

Buy a 1911 and not have that problem. :)

Me too, but since its not a 'department approved' firearm I can't use it in Phase II, and its a little large to carry as a backup.
