There is no quick and dirty way to become a Gun Wrangler for New York State.
It requires that the licensee be an actual business formed and operated as
a weapons prop provider. There are no individual licensed Gun Wranglers in
NYS. In addition, only a very limited number of Specialty FFL's qualify for NYS state licenses. |
Recently, NYC "Theatrical Dealers" were hit hard with a decision by the BATFE that rentals of firearms to a non-licensee was in fact illegal. In order to have guns for your NYC set, you will now need a NYS Licensed Gun Wrangler to have ultimate control over all possession. For more info on this turn of events, click here |

an Alternate Brady Permit. Consequently, EFP holders are exempt from the federal
National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) check requirements
for loans of unloaded firearms for use solely as props in a motion picture,
television, video, theatrical, or other entertainment production or event. Loans
of unloaded firearms from California firearms dealers licensed pursuant to Penal
Code section 12071 to EFP holders for entertainment purposes are also exempt
from the Dealer Record of Sale (DROS) requirements. Penal Code section 12078

Firearms Licensee who loans an unloaded firearm for use solely as a prop in
a motion picture, television, video, theatrical, or other entertainment production
or event to a person who possesses a valid EFP issued pursuant to Section 12081:
