Doug, I am sorry I should not have replied to your post. I am not certain what I have told you is law, but I felt it would be a legal and expeditious way to do what you want. If I were you I would want to know for certain what PA, NY, and NYC require so it maybe best for you to call the ATF or the manufacturer of your gun. I attempted to search the ATF site for an answer, but I am uncertain the FAQ section is definative. http://www.atf.treas.gov/firearms/faq/faq2.htm#b7 section titled Conduct of Business-License subsection F2 had something that may apply, but please don't follow what I have told you as gosple. You can also ask questions at ATFMail@atf.gov PA has no special laws in this regard as far as I know, but it has been a while since I sold firearms. Again I apologize! Kurt
