NY SAFE Act & firearm sales
I'm a blackpowder/muzzleloader enthusiast.
Increasingly, I have noticed some sellers from online sites are including in their terms " '... we do not ship to NY... ' " as well as a few other states; I do not mean NYC which is a minor portion of the Empire State.
AFAIK and as of this writing, the SAFE Act specifically excludes muzzleloading rifles unless they can be fitted with center fire chambered barrels.
I am uncertain if these sellers simply are unaware of the specifics of the Law or are in some way protesting it.
Perhaps just standard CYA.
Whatever the reason, bottom line is that prospective buyers who may legally purchase and own these firearms are being prohibited from doing so.
That's a shame.
