  Section  1.  Subdivision 2 of section 871 of the general business law,
as added by chapter 475 of the laws of 1988, is amended and a new subdi-
vision 3 is added to read as follows:
  2. "Imitation weapon" means any device or object, INCLUDING,  BUT  NOT
LIMITED  TO, ANY CASE OR COVER FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE, made
of plastic, wood, metal or any other material which substantially dupli-
cates or can reasonably be perceived to be an actual firearm, air rifle,
pellet gun, or "B-B" gun; unless such imitation weapon  (a)  is  colored
other than black, blue, silver or aluminum, (b) is marked with a non-re-
movable  orange  stripe which is at least one inch in width and runs the
entire length of the barrel on each  side  and  the  front  end  of  the
barrel,  and  (c)  has  a  barrel  at least one inch in diameter that is
closed for a distance of not less than one-half inch from the  front-end
of  its  barrel  with the same material of which the imitation weapon is
made. "Imitation weapon" does not include any nonfiring  replica  of  an
antique  firearm,  the  original of which was designed, manufactured and
produced prior to eighteen hundred ninety-eight.
  3. "WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE" MEANS  A  WIRELESS  COMMUNICATIONS
DEVICE  AS  DEFINED  IN SUBDIVISION NINE OF SECTION THREE HUNDRED ONE OF
THE COUNTY LAW.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
