As long as your rifles dont violate the AWB laws, yes. Pistols are another story. In NY, you have to meet certain requirements to obtain a pistol permit, and that takes as long as 6 months, or longer! You can leave your guns in your previous state of residence while you get your permit here, you can ship them to an FFL in NYS for safe keeping while you get your license, or you can sell them off and start fresh. You might even be able to get your countys licensing authority to hold onto them while your permit goes through the system. DO NOT bring them with you until youre licensed in NYS!
