10. Questions...you are in a somewhat unique, but certainly not rare situation..

You have a MIB AR-15, assuming with the original 20 rounds mags.

If you lived in NY, you could certainly keep the AR, as long as it is registered (which you have no problem with). But the magazines have to go.

IF you ever wanted to shoot your AR as more then a single shot straight-pull, in NY, you would need to buy 7 round magazines for it. {I don't know of any (ETA: 5 rounders available)}. Of course if you wanted to purchase that AR-15 today in NY, you couldn't.

If you wanted to buy an M1 Garand like your father used in Korea (and probably has or wants atleast 1 of now), in NY, you couldn't. Its fixed capacity is 8 rounds.

If you wanted to buy an M1 Carbine like your father used in Korea (and probably has at least 1 of now), in NY, you could, but you couldn't have any of the original 15 rounds mags for it. You would need to dump those 70yr old original mags and buy 7 round M1 carbine mags in order to shoot it. {I don't know of any - maybe Kahr will make some}.

If one of the handguns you owned was, say, a Browning BDA in .380, with grandfathered 12/13rnd magazines, in NY, you would have to get rid of those 12/13 rndrs and wait for someone to make 7 round mags in order for your pistol to be used. {I don't know of any}.


Do these or similiar types of restrictions bother you?

How would you deal with them?
