My question involves criminal law for the state of: New York
I'm currently a Pennsylvania resident and a legal gun owner for 6 years, having moved out of New York for college and staying in Philadelphia ever since. I have a friend who lives on Staten Island, NY (within NYC limits) and him and I would like to make plans to go hang out in the Poconos and visit a few shooting ranges for a few days. Our problem is, my friend does not own a car since he is still in college and commutes only a few blocks, so I would have to pick him up and give him a ride with me. We've done so before on past trips, but this time I'd like to go to shooting ranges. What are the laws regarding transportation of firearms through NYC limits for non-residents who (obviously) do not possess NYC gun permits? I read somewhere they can be within city limits for no longer than 24 hours and so long as the trip is continuous and uninterrupted. Is this true? And what constituted "continuous and uninterrupted?" If I stop outside his house, without shutting my car or getting out (and he simply walks out his door and gets in), would that count as interrupted?
We've weighed other options of getting him out of city limits, but with luggage and distance, and the fact New Jersey allegedly has the same "continuous and uninterrupted" rules, we're very limited on courses of action.
As a side note: if it is legal as per those rules, would all my guns be "legal?" Or would I still only be limited to my bolt action rifles/sporting rifles and have to leave my semi-automatics and handguns at home? I don't want to "legally" transport an "illegal" weapon such as an AR15 through NYC if I can't, I'd be fine with a simple rifle.
Thanks in advance!
