Establishes the offense of unlawful possession of firearms by persons under twenty-one

This bill (A 346) makes it illegal for people under 21 to possess rifles, shotguns, or other firearms defined in New York law, except for those with valid hunting licenses used according to environmental conservation rules. It specifically targets individuals aged 18-20 (who would face a violation charge) and those under 18 (who would be treated as juvenile delinquents for violations). The law amends existing penal code sections to add this new restriction, maintaining the existing hunting license exception. This directly affects young adults aged 18-20 who possess firearms without qualifying for the hunting exemption.
