↑Expands gun accessmodel confidence 70%
Adds an exemption to the state penal law's sensitive-locations prohibition for retired judges, so more ability to carry firearms in those places under state law.
(p) persons who are retired judges of the court of appeals, justices of the supreme court, judges of the court of claims, judges of the county court, judges of the surrogate's court, judges of the family court, judges of a court for the city of New York, judges of the district court, and judges of a city court outside of the city of New York, and who are duly licensed to possess a pistol or revolver pursuant to section 400.00 of this chapter.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds retired judges (with valid pistol licenses) to the list of persons exempt from New York's criminal possession of a firearm in a sensitive location offense (Penal Law 265.01-e), expanding the ability to carry firearms in those locations. It also deletes the period at the end of the prior exemption and adds 'or' to incorporate the new paragraph, but this is technical. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
