↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 90%
Establishes a new class A misdemeanor for unsafe storage of a firearm where a minor or prohibited person is likely to and does gain access to it, and requires distribution of safe storage materials to violators, so more restrictions on firearm storage.
A person is guilty of failure to safely store rifles, shotguns, and firearms accessible to a minor or a prohibited person when: (a) such person stores or otherwise leaves any rifle, shotgun or firearm in violation of section 265.45 of this article in any location where the owner or custodian of the rifle, shotgun, or firearm knows or has reason to know that a minor or a prohibited person is likely to gain access to such rifle, shotgun or firearm; and (b) a minor or a prohibited person gains access to such rifle, shotgun or firearm.

Removes explicit references to extreme risk protection orders from the basic safe storage requirement (while retaining the new prohibition on access by any prohibited person, which includes those subject to such orders), resulting in no net change to red-flag-related storage rules.
[deleted: (ii) such person knows or has reason to know is prohibited from possess- ing a rifle, shotgun or firearm pursuant to a temporary or final extreme risk protection order issued under article sixty-three-A of the civil practice law and rules or 18 U.S.C. § 922(g) (1), (4), (8) or (9); or]
⚠ Quote could not be matched to the bill text: treat this label with caution
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill primarily addresses firearm storage requirements around minors and prohibited persons, creating a new misdemeanor when unsafe storage leads to access by them (restricts storage-minors), downgrading the basic violation while adding exceptions and reporting (mixed for storage-minors), and deleting specific ERPO language from the base storage rule (neutral for red-flag-erpo). No provisions on purchase background checks, carry, weapon accessories, preemption, industry liability, transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
