George,
You are correct about the C&R not being valid in NY for handgun purchases.

What Hugh is referring to is an unwillingness of licensed handgun dealers in NY to accept a shipment from a C&R holder in another state. As long as a C&R holder from another state follows the shipping rules (overnight common carrier, etc.), it is perfectly legal for an 01 handgun dealer in NY to accept shipment from an out of state C&R holder.

Many handgun dealers in NY will only accept shipment from other 01 FFL's because:
a) They can verify their FFL status with the ATF's online EZCheck.
b) It boosts the perceived value of an 01 FFL.

Some just don't get it... and you can't argue with them, they know everything (except how to be friendly when you walk into their shop... I never understand that).
