Establishes a three-day waiting period for firearm, shotgun, or rifle delivery in New York, with exceptions for licensed individuals.
The bill amends New York law to establish a three-day waiting period before a firearm, shotgun, or rifle can be delivered to a person. This waiting period begins once the New York State National Instant Background Check System (NYS NICS) is contacted. Exceptions are made for individuals with a valid license to purchase, carry, or possess a pistol, revolver, or semiautomatic rifle. If the NYS NICS does not respond within 30 days, the seller or transferor may deliver the firearm at their discretion. The bill also mandates record-keeping requirements for gunsmiths and dealers in firearms.
