The section covers "antiques and ornaments". If this guy is intending to use his newly-minted flintlock as a weapon, the exemption doesn't apply and he needs a licence.
I am not so sure about that (and also commonly mis-spell license) since he could fire it as a "curiousity."

I am more interested in why 1894 as the cutoff date, though. I suppose I could look it up, but why spoil the fun of the person here who knows?

Certainly the gun can be in working order - nothing in it about rendering the gun inoperative, and can be fired for demonstrations or re-creations. What you can't do, seemingly, is deliberately keep it about for hunting or defense.

No gangs of toughs with flintlock pistols allowed.  :D

Sounds to me like the NYPD either needs to cite him & get him into court so that a judge can rule whether or not his rifle is exempt or leave him the fuck alone.  I can see the merits of a judge's decision either way, but I can't see why they're dragging their feet with this -- unless he lives near a Dunkin' Donuts or something...

And my nose ain't hooked.

Yeah, it's all flat and squishy-like, like a Negroloid.  Fucking Arab.

Shh...Stop using logic.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Come anywhere near me, internet brave, and you gonna do the push ups while crying with my boot in your ass all the way to the ankle.

So Jaron has to do pushups, you get court-martialed. He wins.
