New York State does not license rifles or shotguns. New York City and some counties near the City do, though.

Under NYS law, a "firearm" is defined in a way to only mean handguns and other unusually-short guns. You have to have a pistol permit to possess a handgun, even just to keep one in your home. It is easy to get a permit to keep one at your home or business, called a "premises permit." It is a little harder to get a "carry" permit that lets you carry it, loaded, on your person or in your vehicle. But these permits are available outside of NYC, even in the suburbs out on Long Island.

For handguns, yes. For long guns, no, with the exception of New York City.
