For starters, let's talk about "regular" NYS, not the special areas like NYC, etc. With that in mind...
A friend of mine is a member at a range in NY minutes from my house with a 200 yd rifle range and has invited me to go shooting with him. Before I commit a felony, I'm trying to get a solid answer on their laws.

From what I've found on forums around the net on various vendor sites (S&W, etc) and forums, you can own a post ban AR/AK as long as it has fewer than two evil features, but Article 265 Section 22 seems to disagree. Does anyone here have any additional information on this? If this is just a "Yeah technically, but nobody really cares" situation, I'm not chancing it.
