§ 265.50 Failure to safely store rifles, shotguns, and firearms  in  the
              second degree.*
     No  person who owns or is custodian of a rifle, shotgun or firearm and
   knows, or has reason to know, that a person less than sixteen  years  of
   age  is  likely  to  gain access to such rifle, shotgun or firearm shall
   store or otherwise leave such rifle, shotgun or firearm out  of  his  or
   her immediate possession or control without having first securely locked
   such rifle, shotgun or firearm in an appropriate safe storage depository
   or  rendered  it incapable of being fired by use of a gun locking device
   appropriate to that weapon. For purposes of this section  "safe  storage
   depository"  shall  have  the  same  meaning  as such term is defined in
   section 265.45 of this article. Nothing in this section shall be  deemed
   to  affect, impair or supersede any special or local act relating to the
   safe storage of rifles, shotguns or  firearms  which  impose  additional
   requirements  on the owner or custodian of such weapons.  The possession
   of a rifle or shotgun by a person less than sixteen years of age who  is
   the  holder  of  a  hunting license or permit issued pursuant to article
   eleven of the environmental conservation law  when  used  in  accordance
   with such law shall not be governed by this section.
     Failure  to  safely store rifles, shotguns, and firearms in the second
   degree is a violation punishable only by a fine of  not  more  than  two
   hundred fifty dollars.
