I have already done as much background research as I think I possibly could regarding owning firearms in New York City. I know the NYC firearms laws, the New York state firearms laws, federal firearms laws, and firearms laws of other states and locals. What I’m interested in is personal experience from service members regarding their applications for firearms licenses, not so much permits, in New York City. I’m aware that private security contractors, personal security details, and people doing legitimate and legal business, such as carrying large sums of money or valuables, can get firearms licenses and carry permits, but what about active duty military personnel?

Does anyone know if federal or New York state law allows for a permit for the possession of firearms which are normally considered prohibited, if they can be considered historical artifacts? Example: Fully automatic weapons are prohibited except to law enforcement & military; can someone own a WWI or WWII machine gun in full working order, based on historical significance?
