Crossbows in New York City

[Sogaard]

Can anyone tell me with 100% certainty whether it is legal or illegal to posses a crossbow within the NY City limits?

I can't find anywhere that says it is illegal, but I keep seeing all the major sellers saying that shipping is restricted to NYC.

Thanks~

I don't know where it is in writing but I can tell you from growing up in the city, that if it is any fun "it is illegal".

I guess you will have to ask someone in government to see how crossbows fit into the NYC firearms laws. perhaps the police department or if you know a judge or lawyer that specializes in criminal law. If you ever find out, let us know.

Yeah, my brother is a court officer, so I asked him to check it out for me. I know they use to be illegal, but I can no longer find them listed one way or the other on the regulations. If I hear back any solid information, I'll post it here.

Your best bet would be to email your local PD and get the info from the horses mouth.
