State and local firearms laws may vary. Check them out
before scheduling a First Shots seminar.
Laws, including those concerning who may or may not possess
firearms at shooting ranges, vary greatly from state to state — and
even may be different from one locality to another within a particular
state. Range owners are advised to verify their ability
to host a First Shots seminar before scheduling one and consult
an attorney in their area should they have questions about their
state and local firearms laws.
Advisory for New York State Range Operators:
It is a crime in New York State for a
person to possess a handgun at a shooting facility unless that
person, or circumstances, fall within one of the exemptions
provided for by law (See New York Penal Law Section 265.20a.)
First Shots® is a firearms introductory program for beginners
and first-time shooters. It is unlikely, therefore, that
a First Shots participant at a range in New York State can lawfully
possess a handgun.
This notice is for informational purposes
only and is not intended to be, nor should it be construed
to be, legal advice. New
York State range operators are strongly advised to review the
applicable sections of the New York Penal Law and consult with
an attorney before hosting a First Shots seminar.
