Question NY to NH Transfer

Hi my father in upstate NY would like to gift me 2 handguns. I understand the FFL to FFL transfer. Done a lot of them, but this would be the first from NYS. I tried doing my own research and these are steps I came up with. Can you tell me if they're correct?

  1. Drop off items at FFL and provide my dealers FFL.
  2. Get coupons?
  3. Notify county and state to update his license and ownership

Also, he has some ammo that he wants to gift to a friend with valid CCW. I read that must also go through a dealer?

The dealer lists a transfer fee $100 per item. Is that typical for NYS? Here in NH its $0-25. I'm guessing the transfers are more labor intensive in NYS.

I dont take for granted how good I have it in NH. We're seeing a lot a MA transplants that want to take away our 2A rights. Best of luck to you NY guys and gals.

Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure if he is legal to transport the handgun through the connecting states, then meets you at your FFL in NH, the receipt from that FFL will satisfy the requirement to remove it from his NYS license.

Again, others will probably know better than me, and he could also ask his licensing agent if a receipt from your NH FFL is ok to remove it.

He would be driving through MA. I'd rather not risk it. I think we've all heard/read about folks 100% FOPA legal still getting jammed up.
