NYS ILLEGAL GUN REGISTRY
Good morning everyone,
As we all know 2.5 years ago the NYSP took over the NICS check in NYS when you complete a 4473. Prior to this the FBI conducted the check. The NYSP developed a system that requires the FFL to input all your pedigree information along with all firearm information (Make/Model/Action Type/Caliber/Serial #) into this system for every single purchase/transfer. This information gets submitted via a NYSP computer program that all FFL's have access to. My question is where is that information going? Where is it being stored? How long is it being stored for? Does it get deleted or expunged after a certain amount of time? If this information doesn't get deleted then it's a text book registry 100%.
If you look under Penal Law 400 specifically states that Ammo Background Check info is deleted after 1 year, but doesn't mention anything about Firearm Purchase information.
Any FFL's on here or anyone in the know can shed some light on this for us?
Thank you
