=No change to gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Creates a county-specific, time-limited exception to New York’s unlicensed-firearm-possession rules that applies only when a locality requires a training course as a licensing prerequisite, with state-police oversight of the course.
provided, however, that this paragraph shall only apply in Chautauqua county and only where such county opts by local law to require such a course before a person may be issued a license pursuant to section 400.00 of this chapter.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a narrow, supervised exception to New York’s general ban on unlicensed possession of a pistol or revolver, allowing eligible applicants to handle and fire agency-owned firearms during a required safety course in one county. This expands the ability to possess/carry firearms in that specific training context (firearms/carry). The provision is also a county-specific, temporary, and heavily regulated carve-out that does not alter the statewide licensing regime itself (firearms/other, neutral). No other listed topics are addressed.
