Long story, but here goes.
A friend of mine, nice older gentleman, has a 2" model 36. He bought it new back in 1968, and has only, according to him, fired a cylinder (5 rounds) through it. He lived in Maine at the time.
Fourteen years ago, he moved to the Syracuse NY area. It wasn't until last week when he saw me reading the SCSW3, that he mentioned he had the Chief's Special in a box in his basement.
Here in lies the problem. He has no NYS pistol Permit, and the weapon is not registered in this state, although when he bought it and posessed it in Maine, it was not an issue.
How would one go about registering this weapon? How would he sell it when there is no receipt any longer, and it is not documented on a NYS pistol license?
Love these wacky NY gunlaws!
