I know this post is going to get a lot of "don't do it" responses. That isn't helpful. Please stick with the actual questions.
I am considering a move to NJ or the NY area (not NYC). I'm looking at Passaic NJ, Lakewood NJ and Monsey NY (in Rockland County). The reasons aren't really appropriate for this board so please don't try to get into a discussion of why I would do it (to defend the idea means getting into things that are far from gun related- they are better suited to an Orthodox Judaism discussion board).
Gun considerations are one concern of course. I know both NY state and NJ are bad, but how bad compared to MD? What do I have that I'd have to get rid of? What hoops would I have to jump through?
-"Assault weapons": What is and is not allowed? I'm pretty sure both states have AWBs. My AR is a HBAR, does this make a difference? Here in MD HBAR is not treated as an "assault rifle" and has no additional regulations that any regular rifle doesn't while a regular AR is a controlled firearm with all the stuff we have to go through for a pistol. So, would I have to sell my AR? How about the SKS? Would my fixed mag (tubular mag) Marlin 60 be a problem since it holds 14 rounds?
-Mag limits? In MD we are limited to 20 rounds. What is the limit in NY and in NJ? Assuming my AR is okay, would I be able to keep my 20 rounders? Would I be able to keep my 15 round mags in my SIG 226 and CZ and my 12 rounders in my SIG 229 or would I have to use just 10 rounders?
-Registration and licensing? I know that NY requires a permit to own a gun and it is a local thing (some areas actually give carry permits, NYC makes it almost impossible to even own a handgun). Does anyone know how long the process would be for Rockland County NY? What requirements does NJ have? Would I be able to bring my guns with me, or in either state would they have to stay in MD until I got permission from the state to possess them? Do rifles, shotguns and handguns have the same requirements?
-Carry?: I know NJ is as bad as MD. NY is a local thing. What are the chances to be allowed to carry in Rockland County NY?
-Misc.: Are all areas of NYC treated the same? I know NYers think of Manhattan when you speak of NYC, but there is much more that is politically part of the city. I assume Brooklyn is the same as the rest of NYC, how about Queens or Long Island? Are the more suburban parts of the city treated any differently? I know NJ has some weird law banning JHPs- last I heard it is against carrying them but you can have them at home. Is this the case?
-Is there anything I need to know that I'm leaving out?
