Gun Laws > Permits
Each handgun purchased requires a license, issued by a designated county or city judicial or law enforcement officer, which specifies conditions for possession and carrying. A license is valid throughout the State, except in New York City, where additional rules of validity apply. Licenses are valid until revoked but have a fixed duration in New York City (3 years) and in Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester counties (5 years). Purchasing additional handguns requires a license amendment. |
Gun Laws > Prohibited firearms
It is illegal to possess a short barrel rifle or shotgun, a machine gun, a disguised gun, or an assault weapon, with limited exceptions. |
Gun Laws > Prohibited persons
law prohibits issuing a license to carry or possess a handgun to any person who is under 21, is not of good moral character, has been convicted of a felony or "serious offense," suffers from mental illness or has been confined to any hospital or institution for mental illness, has had a license revoked, is under a suspension or ineligibility order, or did not complete a safety course and test (Westchester County only), or concerning whom good cause exists for denial. A long gun cannot be possessed by a person who has been convicted of a felony or serious offense, or certified not suitable to possess a rifle or shotgun. A person under 16 cannot possess a firearm except in limited circumstances. It is unlawful to knowingly purchase a firearm on behalf of a prohibited person. |
Lieutenant governor
vacant (The Lieutenant Governorship in New York is currently vacent due to the elevation of David Paterson to the Governorship after the resignation of Eliot Spitzer. The New York State Constitution states that the "Temporary President of the Senate" will fulfill the duties of Lieutenant Governor when the office is vacent. That position is currently held by Dean G. Skelos .) |
