Governor Andrew Cuomo signed another measure that lets the police see more information on a Firearm License Application on Tuesday.
The legislation closes a loophole and will give law enforcement access to out-of-state records.
Previously, New Yorkers could buy guns outside of the county that they live in and stores would not be able to see out-of-state gun applications or background checks.
The governor says he hopes this will help prevent those who might be a danger to themselves or others from obtaining a gun license in New York.
