Why the model tagged it this way: The bill amends Penal Law 400.00(11)(a) to add convictions for failure to safely store firearms (under sections 265.45 or 265.50) as grounds for revoking a license to carry, possess, repair, or dispose of firearms. This directly ties to the firearms topic under the storage-minors subtag (as safe storage laws typically address preventing access by minors) and imposes additional restrictions on firearm ownership and licensing. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
