Establishes a three calendar day waiting period for firearm, shotgun, and rifle deliveries in New York, with exceptions for licensed individuals.
This bill amends New York law to establish a three calendar day waiting period from the contact of the New York State National Instant Background Check System (NYS NICS) before a firearm, shotgun, or rifle can be delivered to a person. Exceptions are provided for individuals who possess a valid license to purchase, carry, or possess a pistol, revolver, or semiautomatic rifle. If, after thirty calendar days, NYS NICS has not issued a response, the seller or transferor may proceed at their discretion. The bill also updates record-keeping requirements for gunsmiths and dealers in firearms.
