The legislation is currently on New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s desk (Right. Photo: Gov. Andrew Cuomo Facebook<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

In the race between New York and California for the honor of the nation\u2019s most anti-gun legislature, the Empire State may be taking the lead.<\/p>\n

On the heels of several sweeping anti-gun measures<\/a>, the New York State Senate and Assembly passed a bill this week that would require gun owners to lock their firearms separately from ammunition whenever a child under the age of 16 is present in the home. The bill, A02686<\/a>, is headed to Gov. Andrew Cuomo\u2019s desk where his signature is all but guaranteed.<\/p>\n

Supporters of the bill claim that the policy is intended to stem the apparent tide of accidental deaths and injuries minors commit with firearms.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll this bill does is try to protect children from accidentally getting ahold of a loaded weapon and using it, unintentionally, on themselves, their siblings, their own parents,\u201d Sen. Liz Krueger said from the Senate floor. \u201cThat\u2019s what this bill is about. It doesn\u2019t take a gun away from anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n

As we\u2019ve reported<\/a>, however, the ubiquity of this problem is frequently exaggerated<\/a> by those pushing for policies that keep gun owners in check.<\/p>\n

Opponents of the bill argue that the safe storage requirement will hamstring those hoping to use a firearm to defend their home.<\/p>\n

“The Second Amendment is about self-defense of your person and property,” Sen. Robert Ortt said<\/a> on the Senate floor. “And this bill, I think, quite clearly impedes on somebody\u2019s ability to act in their own self-defense and use a firearm for that purpose.”<\/p>\n

The new policy will require anyone who is a \u201ccustodian\u201d of a rifle, shotgun, or other kind of firearm to lock it in an \u201cappropriate safe storage depository or render it incapable of being fired by use of a gun locking device appropriate to that weapon\u201d if the gun owner \u201cknows, or has reason to know, that a person less than sixteen years of age is likely to gain access\u201d to the firearm.<\/p>\n

For those who might use quick-access safes to maintain a modicum of home-defense, the policy also prohibits firearms from being stored in the same container as ammunition.<\/p>\n

The only provision for effective home defense with a firearm allowed by the policy would require gun owners to keep a firearm on their person at all times. The law does not require firearms to be secured if the gun is in the owner’s \u201cimmediate possession or control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Felano, a Second Amendment rights advocate, told local media<\/a> that the courts may eventually overturn many of New York’s gun laws.<\/p>\n

“I think you’re going to see all these things come under pretty heavy scrutiny in the final quarter of 2019 and going into 2020. I would predict that 2020 is going to be a very active year for New York State gun control litigation and overturn,” Felano said. “Really, it’s a feel-good piece of legislation with no real means of enforcement.”<\/p>\n

Parents who violate\u00a0A02686 will be subject to a Class A misdemeanor which carries a fine of up to $1,000, three years probation and\/or a year in jail.<\/p>\n

Gun owners (non-parents or non-guardians) who have children under 16 visiting their home will face a fine of up to $250 if they are caught violating A02686.<\/p>\n
