A friend of mine moved here (NY) from FL a few years ago and brought with her a .22 handgun, although she has never bothered to get her handgun permit for NY. She keeps it in her home. She legally owned the gun in FL. She wants the gun but doesn't want to bother with the NYS permit process. At the same time, she doesn't want to keep it illegaly, but is unsure how to get rid of it. As someone who is waiting for his permit to come in the mail, and was planning a .22 handgun as a first purchase anyway, I offered to buy it from her when my permit arrives, but both of us are unsure of how to do this legally.
Once I receive my NY permit (20 days down, ~160 to go), is there a way that I can legally purchase this gun from her, without her getting in trouble? What would be the proceedure for doing this?
I should clarify that it would be my intention to own the gun, and keep it in my possession. It is NOT my intention to be the owner on paper while she keeps the gun, I intend to have it for myself.
Assuming that I can convince her to get her permit as well, and she then decides to keep the gun, would she able to register it on her permit? How does that work when you move into NYS and bring your guns?
