David Lombardo reports in the Albany Times Union that gun owners would have to store their firearms with a locking device or in a locked container if a proposal in the state capitol passes. The measure would expand the existing safe storage law that mandates gun locks in homes where there is a resident that is prohibited from owning a firearm. Assemblyperson Amy Paulin, a Westchester County Democrat, predicts that the legislation will pass both houses of the Legislature. "It could be any day," she said. Paulin says the law would not be proactively enforced, but enforced if "something bad happens." Read the full story in the Albany Times Union.
