Short title; construction. 1. This act shall be known and may be cited as the "children's weapon accident prevention act." 2.

Legislative findings and intent. The legislature finds that a tragically large number of children have been accidentally killed or seriously injured by negligently stored weapons; that placing weapons within reach or easy access of children is irresponsible, encourages such accidents, and should be prohibited, and that legislative action is necessary to protect the safety of our children. S 3. Section 265.00 of the penal law is amended by adding five new subdivisions 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28 to read as follows: 24. "WEAPON" MEANS A "RIFLE", "SHOTGUN", OR "FIREARM" AS OTHERWISE DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION THREE OF THIS SECTION. 25.
