Greetings all,
After a few years in the army, I'm going back to college. One of the colleges I've been accepted to happens to be in New York State, specifically in Monroe County, even more specifically in the city of Rochester. (NOT New York City!)
I've briefly scanned over some material, and it appears that New York State has in place an "assault weapons ban" very similar to the now-expired Federal ban. Coming from California, this isn't a terribly big change.
However, I've heard mention in a few various online communities (can't remember where, unfortunately) that at least some AR/AK series rifles are available for purchase in stores outside of New York City.
Does anyone have any verifiable information on this? Are such rifles prohibited, or no?
My other choice (and I have yet to hear back from them) is in Arizona. Of course in AZ, there are no silly restrictions of that sort, and I could easily buy a machinegun once I get my residency status sorted out.
