The bill addresses temporary police custody of firearms during family violence responses but contains no provisions on storage requirements specifically for minors.
shall take temporary custody of any firearm, rifle, electronic dart gun, electronic stun gun, disguised gun, imitation weapon, shotgun, antique firearm, black powder rifle, black powder shotgun, or muzzle-loading firearm that is in plain sight or is discovered pursuant to a consensual or other lawful search if any one of the following circumstances is present:
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends CPL 140.10 to change 'may' to 'shall' for temporary police custody of listed firearms/rifles in plain sight or via lawful search during family offense responses, adding mandatory seizure triggers based on victim DIR form responses or officer belief of risk, and extends the minimum hold period from 48 to 120 hours before possible return (absent court orders or charges). This creates a temporary, non-court extreme-risk-like removal mechanism tied to domestic calls, directly addressing the red-flag-erpo topic and restricting firearm access in those scenarios.
