yes in ny state it is.  And to use it for muzzleloading season, it has to be a single shot that loads through the muzzle, not a black powder revolver.

If you really want to get conused, try this. (and I have no idea if this hold in NYC)
Blackpowder pistols are primative. revolvers and muzzleloaders. you can have them in NY without a pistol permit but you can not have them AND  components to make them go bang without a pistol permit. SO if you want that nice ML pistol to hang above the mantlle of the fireplace you are good. But if you own it and black powder and caps and ball....you must have a permit.

If you plan on hunting with it, unless you are going to hit them over the head with it you need a permit for both, Just like Bubba said
Freedom to choose isn’t free. We must be ever vigilant to maintain our freedoms.

I think as I understand it all you need is one component either powder ball or cap.

fasteddie, love the signature.  The newbie to ML'ing (Dom) ought to get a TC in-line.  They are simple to use, easy to clean and with a twist of the breach easy to get the powder out.  I have a Triumph and its accuracy is amazing.  Keep it simple to start.  Get yourself a box of 777 pellets and any old 50 cal sabot 250 gr bullet.  Zero it in with that and you'll be eating veniosn all winter long. In fact I only shoot 2 pellets (100 gr charge) .  With a 250 gr bullet its more than enough for deer hunting.  I've been using a smoke pole since I was 17 and that's a considerable span of years.  The new TC's are so close to fixed cartridge rifles it ain't funny.  I'll be front stuffer hunting in Kent County Michigan this coming year with some great friends.  The TC Triumph will be making trip.
There are as many answers to that one as there are reasons men hunt, fight, skydive, gamble or take up with redheaded ladies.
