A few years back the law was changed. Before, it was legal to have an unlicensed handgun in your own home (as long as you never took it outside). Now, if a permit holder dies, the family needs to call the State Police within 30 days to collect any handguns. The police will hold them for a while as you beginn the 6 month long process of applying for a pistol permit. In the event you are actually issued a NY pistol permit, you then must register each handgun you wish to keep.

Also related . . . when NY implemented their AWB, simple possession of a 30 rd magazine also became a felony, whether or not you had ammo or a firearm that it fit. Burden of proof is on the defendant to prove his magazine was somehow grandfathered or otherwise lawful to own.
I can testify to this! When I was stationed in N-NY I was denied a NYS Pistol Permit due to my "temporary resident status" being .mil, so my Glock sat in our unit arms room. You can't even handle a pistol at a gun store without a permit... NY is the ultimate example of a police state in the works.
