Gun owners in New York with children in their homes have 60 days to comply with stricter new gun storage requirements or face the potential of a misdemeanor charge.
In order to comply with the requirement, which was signed into law this week by Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo, New Yorkers living with a child under the age of 16 need to have a locking device for their firearm or store it in a locked container.
.....
New York State Rifle and Pistol Association President Tom King previously told the Times Union that the restriction is unlikely to pass constitutional muster. He said the U.S. Supreme Court has made clear that storage laws preventing timely access to firearms are invalid.
There is also a concern from gun owners that the storage requirements will make the weapons useless for home defense, since they might not be easily accessible.
The requirement can’t easily be enforced and any non-compliance may only be discovered if a firearm is misused and results in a police response. But sponsors of the legislation hope it encourages gun owners to safely store their guns.
What a joke.
