Today we discuss the mythical "other" firearm that many private citizens, as well as FFLs have been selling.
The "other" as it's come to be known doesn't fit into any of the federal definitions of a firearm (pistol, rifle or shotgun), and therefore is simply considered a "firearm" under the law. Federally, these 'other' firearms are 100% legal.
This leaves NYS in yet another grey area of the law.
Listen in and see our take on 'others'!
However, how does this play into NYS and more specifically the NYSafe Act? The NYSafe Act grabs is definition of pistols, rifles and shotguns from the Federal definitions. Since the 'others' are not defined federally this also means they are not defined by NYS PL or the NYSafe Act. As of yet, the NYS Police or political outlet has NOT clarified the legality of 'others' at the state level, despite the fact the several surrounding states have come out with the determination that they are state legal.
Several FFLs have been known to sell 'others'. Private citizens in NYS have also posted on popular sites like Reddit.com showing that they have built 'others'.
Listen in to hear our take on 'others'.
