TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the tax law, in relation to providing
a tax credit for the purchase of items relating to firearm safety
PURPOSE: To provide a tax credit to those that purchase gun safety
equipment such as safes and vaults, or safety and trigger locks.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1, amends tax law by adding a new
section (ss) providing a twenty-five percent tax credit, "not to
exceed five hundred dollars per year, for the purchase of gun safes
and vaults, firearm safety locks, trigger locks, and other such items
designed to ensure the safe handling and storage of firearms.
Sections 2 is the effective date.

out of unwanted hands, both children and buglers. In addition, safety
and trigger locks render them unusable to anyone other than the owner.
This legislation provides an incentive for those that own guns to keep
them out of the reach of unwanted hands, and to Prevent accidental
firing or use by anyone who could have stolen such a weapon. This
legislation is a practical way to encourage gun owners to invest in
gun safes and locks. Storing firearms safely helps prevent them from

resulting from misuse. Nearly one-third of all violent crime in the
