N.Y. General Business Law § 896: Operation of a gun show

§ 896. Operation of a gun show. 1. A gun show operator shall:

(a) at all times during such show conspicuously post and maintain

signs stating "A National Instant Criminal Background Check must be

completed prior to all firearm sales or transfers, including sales or

transfers of rifles or shotguns". Signs must be posted at all entrances

to the gun show, at all places where admission tickets to the gun show

are sold and not less than four additional locations within the grounds

of the gun show;

(b) notify all firearm exhibitors in writing that a national instant

criminal background check must be completed prior to all firearm sales

or transfers, including sales or transfers of rifles or shotguns; and

(c) coordinate with the division of state police to provide access at

the gun show to perform a national instant criminal background check

prior to any firearm sale or transfer. Any firearm dealer licensed under

federal law who submits a request to the division of state police to

perform a national instant criminal background check pursuant to this

paragraph shall provide the seller or transferor of the firearm, rifle

or shotgun with a copy of the United States Department of Treasury,

Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms Form ATF F 4473 and such dealer

shall maintain such form and make such form available for inspection by

law enforcement agencies for a period of ten years thereafter.

2. Whenever the attorney general shall believe from evidence

satisfactory to him or her that a gun show operator has violated any of

the provisions of this section, the attorney general may bring an action

or special proceeding in the supreme court for a judgment enjoining the

continuance of such violation and for a civil penalty in an amount not

to exceed ten thousand dollars. If it shall appear to the satisfaction

of the court or justice that the defendant has violated any provisions

of this section, no proof shall be required that any person has been

injured thereby nor that the defendant intentionally violated such

provision. In such action preliminary relief may be granted under

article sixty-three of the civil practice law and rules. In connection

with any such proposed application, the attorney general is authorized

to take proof, issue subpoenas and administer oaths in the manner

provided in the civil practice law and rules.
