Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act to amend the general business law, in relation to sale of guns at certain types of events
Purpose or general idea of bill
To clarify that an "exchange" of firearms is similar to a sale or transfer of firearms and to limit the term "gun show" to certain venues.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one amends subdivision 1 of section 895 of the general business law, as amended by chapter 189 of the laws of 2000, by amending the definition of "gun show."
Section 2 provides the effective date
Justification
Realizing that guns are often offered for exchange as well as for sale or transfer in a range of places, this bill adds the word "exchange" to the current statute. Clarifying the term "gun show" will attempt to address the cases in which the court will have to determine whether or not the sale or transfer of firearms that takes place in a variety of venues constitutes a gun show. Additionally, in the event that firearms, rifles or shotguns are offered for sale, transfer or exchange at a public auction, flea market or garage sale, these venues shall also be considered a gun show.
