Is hollow point ammo illegal in New York State?

Answer 1

As I understand it, only law enforcment personnel are authorized to carry weapons loaded with hollow point ammunition. The same for New Jersey and probably other states.

I know of no law that says you can't buy or have hollow point bullets as a non enforcement person. But, as said, non lawenforcement personnel cannot carry a weapon loaded with hollow point bullets.

Gun stores sell hollow point ammo. Therefore, you can buy hollow point ammo to shoot on a range. If hollow point ammo was illegal gun stores could not sell it.......

Hollow point ammo is illegal only in New Jersey, and even then, only illegal for certain applications (mainly, weapons carried outside your home). Hollow point ammo is legal in all other states.
