It's not a NYS agent that the check is turned over to. When we run a mandated check on the PICS system, a non-resident buyer check is kicked over to an operator. Therefore we wait until an operator is available, then we have to give them the out-of-state-buyer info and wait again as they do the check. I have had to wait up to 90-100 minutes on hold until final approval of the sale. If the check takes too long and you hang up you still have to pay the fee as all dealer info is punched into the system first, before it kicks over to the sale.
Our County Sheriff is a great guy and totally pro-2nd Amendment. He personally called every dealer in our County and told them to be wary of selling to NYS residents. He said we will be dragged into court in NYS by the AG if in any way the un-SAFE act is violated or any other draconian leftist anti-gun law is violated.
