So Monroe County (who is usually great with pistol permit amendments, considering)...just added this requirement to buying a gun.
Apparently they want the dealer to fill out a standardized bill of sale, partly it seems, so no "illegal" pistols get added to your permit.
If you don't do this, the FFLs sales receipt gets sent to an investigator who has to deem the pistol legal.
Now this seems to be trying to prevent AR lowers being added to permits...but a fixed mag AR lower should be legal.
Now my confusion really starts with the bottom where they say a "lower receiver" doesn't qualify as a firearm per NY law...but does NY even define "pistol"? No right? So anything could be registed and made into a pistol no?
And what's more confusing, you can still register a "frame only" ?? It's still one of the check boxes on the form.
Isn't a "frame" the same as a "lower receiver" ?
And what happens to people with "frame only" lowers currently on their permits?
Do you just need to send in a receipt for an upper and they suddenly accept it as a pistol?
