Dealers face challenges on day one as New York State Police background check system debuts on firearm, ammunition sales

Although it was initially uncertain if it would happen as scheduled, on Sept. 13 the New York State Police began processing background checks for firearm, shotgun, rifle, and ammunition transactions in New York. 
The new system, which replaces federal NICS checks, is part of the 2022 Concealed Carry Improvement Act legislation, which mandates the State Police to perform background checks on ammunition purchases. On it’s first day, at least, dealers and consumers alike found the new system to be challenging.
