LEGAL US

New York State: Muzzle-loading weapons are generally are considered antique weapons by the state of New York. NY Law has interpreted this to mean antique rifles, shotguns, handguns, and replicas thereof, are generally exempt from the permit restrictions and can be bought and possessed without a permit. (Persons who shoot muzzle loading handguns must be properly licensed.) However, to fall within the exemption, antique handguns must be unloaded and possessed without the materials required for loading. Muzzle loading pistols or revolvers do not have to be registered on a pistol permit if the owner never intends to fire them. If they are possessed in a loaded condition or are simply possessed simultaneously with the components necessary to make them fire, they must first be registered on a valid pistol permit.
