A: In New York, a person must obtain a license before being legally allowed to possess a gun, whether it is inside or outside the home.
Within approximately six months of receipt of your handgun application, and all required documents/forms, you will receive a letter informing you whether your application was approved.
Form 4473 contains the purchasers name, address, date of birth, government-issued photo ID, National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) background check transaction number, and a short affidavit stating that the purchaser is eligible to purchase firearms under federal law.
No permit is required for the purchase of a rifle or shotgun (except in New York City). A license to carry or possess a pistol or revolver is required to purchase a handgun. (See HANDGUNS- POSSESSION and CARRY.)
With these considerations in mind, it is important to be aware of the regulations that apply to you and every firearm that you have when you are in New York. Under New York law, criminal possession of a firearm occurs when a person possesses any firearm that is not licensed or registered.
