I live in Ca and am familiar with the CA Gun Laws and Believe "ALL" hand guns have to go through a 01 FFL, no exceptions. For conformation of my thoughts go to this site, these guys know their stuff and laws. http://www.calguns.net/calgunforum/index.php

Who would think you would need to use a FFL holder for something that isn't a gun? Don't know about New York law, but go to the New York Attorney Generals web site and look up their definition of Firearm.

Went and looked up New York and found they are little "Different". They do follow the federal guidelines for ownership and transfer.
But while you would not need a license to own, transfer or fire a antique long gun, if you want to fire your unregulated antique handgun you would need a permit.
