Exempts licensed private investigators and clarifies for security guards that they may possess firearms in sensitive and restrictive locations while traveling to/from work and during employment, so more ability to carry firearms in those locations.
private investigators licensed under article seven of the general business law, who are licensed to carry a firearm while traveling to and from and during the course of their employment and at any necessary and appropriate location during their work hours as such a private investigator;
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds exemptions for licensed private investigators (new paragraphs e-1 and d-1) and makes a minor grammatical edit to the existing security guard exemption, both addressing where firearms may be carried in sensitive/restrictive locations under penal law sections 265.01-e and 265.01-d. This expands the ability to carry for private investigators with no countervailing restrictions; the security guard change is purely technical.
