You can travel thru the state of New York with your guns so long as you are not going anywhere in that state to stay.

kbuck,
I know you didn't mention what the new chapter in your life is going to be, no need too, bit you've received a lot of good info from Squash, Tony1967, and other NYS residents that answered.

I also was born in Central NY and lived there for 53 years before a job change brought me to Illinois. the two states are similar in 3 ways: taxes, politics, and both run by liberals in major cities.

Aside from that I can't think of a state that I have visited that offers more outdoor potential than NY. It is diverse geographically and weather wise.

I have often said now that I am retired that if money was no object I would move back and live somewhere in the Finger Lakes region. Farther west in the state is also great.

Away from the cities NY is way more rural than most people realized. Ya, Cuba, NY is rural.

Be prepared for some big hills, everywhere.

I live in Pa and we mainly fish NY. Until covid I had a NY trapping license every year. Have nothing but respect for the game wardens there, always helpful for us because we mainly chase the beaver and coon and they are everywhere. I trap with a 22 rifle and asked before we went the first time, no problems. We fish the finger lakes only 2 hours from here for the closest one and three hours for most of the rest. Have many friend all over the state and go to thier trap convention most every year. That is the good points, the bad, everyplace has bad points.......jk

No wait never mind about KY being a great state If you even think twice about going to NY we don’t want anyone with that thinking in this state


Typical response from someone who knows nothing about NY State outside of NYC. I carry concealed everywhere except NYC , federal and state buildings. I doubt you can carry in Federal and state facilities ? As far as real estate values, just like KY it depends on where the property is location, location, location. In NY There still large tracts of timberland/recreational land that can be had for $500/ acre. I’ll bet crime rates in rural NY are not any different than rural KY ? I’m sure KY is a great state and will not critique it because I know little about it other than you have given us that rino McConnell.



OMG you don't even want to compare McConnell to the einsteins that NY has given us !!!!! Please open that can of worms PLEASE PLEASE Lets see I'll name one and stop AOC BUt I can give you more of your great elected officials. How about the former GOV the grim reaper of the elderly . Heck it might be easier to name the "good politicians from there. But no wait can't .

Isn't the joker shumer from NY LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL

Any other advice is welcome.

Welcome, I have lived in WNY my whole life. I've also traveled the USA quite a bit. Our hunting fishing and trapping is excellent. 4 seasons to enjoy yourself. All spaced out about equal. 2 great lakes to fish and the finger lakes just a short drive away. Cricks,rivers, swamps, hills, and farmland. White tail deer abound and trapping is excellent. NYC is 400 miles away. The countryside here is predominantly republican. The cities are where the Democrats mostly reside. Most of our countryside is farming. Grapes by lake Erie, fruit trees by lake Ontario, corn and produce everywhere. Cattauragus County and Erie county have excellent trappers organizations and I hope you join one. PM me and maybe I can answer some of your questions.

I grew up in southern New England and left when I was 22. It took me another 2 years to find my way to the south, and then I never left and never will. That was 45 years ago. I still have friends in rural northern New England and all I see is a continued interference by government in people's lives.

All I can say is "She must be some HOT woman." There are a lot of other places to live and make a good living and not have to put up with NY politics. East of the Mississippi Tn or Ky would be very good choices. Yes, you can make more money in NY, but it will cost much more to live there. Have you not been paying attention? People are leaving NY in droves. Good luck with your choice.

I've only been to upstate NY when we went to Niagara Falls a few years ago. We took a day trip to the big state park there Letchworth or something like that. I know on the way there it reminded me of the rural areas of WI. Lots of rolling hills, dairy cows and agriculture. I liked that area we were in, reminded me of home. I don't know about moving there but to each his own.
I also live in a state that's mostly conservative unfortunately the big metro areas seem to control a lot of what goes and it's probably the same or a little worse in NY. From what I can see stay away from Buffalo, that seemed like a dump. I don't think Syracuse or Rochester are that great either. You NY guys are those liberal holes as well?

So why are you moving there? Is it a woman or a job? Just as well tell us. These guys will badger you until you do anyway. laugh
Good Luck.

With most long guns this is true.

Not so with pistols and AR-15 platforms.

Only NYS residents with carry permits
may possess pistols within the state boundaries.

One thing I'll never understand is why people let politics cloud thier mind's. Sure I hate the state and national politics in general, but if you're living for you and your family as long as you're happy and comfortable who cares?

Find a place that suits you and do your own thing.

Most everyone who judges New York is really judging a 50 Mile radius around NYC. I could care less what people do there.

2X. I live within 20 mins of Black Lake and the St Lawrence River. Between my property and ny neighbor in the last 2 years I have trapped yotes, coon, weasel, red fox, bobcat, beaver, mink, rats, otter, and fisher.Left Ct. 42 years ago and couldn’t afford to go back. It’s what you make of it.

Jbyrd, You are really making my point that you know little about NY State. NYC’s 8 million people elect the POC politicians you refer to, without the city they would not hold office. My representative is Elise Stefanik 21st district and the adjacent congressional district 22nd is
Claudia Tenny.
. Both have a R next to their names. But thanks again for rino McConnell. LOL

If you trap and live in a state where the liberal politicians rule all branches of state government, a good chance trapping will be gone in the future. Ask the trappers in New Mexico and California.
