Creates a new specific felony for willfully discharging a loaded firearm aimed at certain first responders, increasing criminal penalties for that use of a firearm.
Any person who willfully discharges a loaded firearm or any other gun, the propelling force of which is gunpowder, while pointed or aimed at a peace officer, police officer, corrections officer, firefighter or emergency medical services professional, with or without malice, is guilty of a class B felony.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new subdivision to Penal Law § 265.35 creating a class B felony specifically for willfully discharging a loaded firearm aimed at peace officers, police, corrections officers, firefighters, or EMS personnel. This is a firearms-related provision that imposes a new, heightened criminal penalty for a particular use of a firearm, falling under the 'other' subtag for firearms. It does not address any of the other listed topics such as transgender issues, abortion, or immigration enforcement.
