NYC gun law is so strict a NY resident cant even go out of state to by firearms or ammo. I legally carry in NYC and went to Cabelas in PA and barely walked out with a Ruger 10/22. and yes in long island (where i primarily shop) you cant handle a handgun without a permit. just like someone that works in the store cant even open the case without a permit. and forget about buying anything within city limits not only is it difficult to find a store, usually the store owners an a hole, and knowing there isnt much competition they have jacked up prices...when I go shopping for a firearm (which is usually a costly experience) I want to be treated a certain way. Hunter is a great place with a very friendly and knowledgeable staff......
