Relates to possession and sale of armor piercing ammunition; repealer
This bill makes possessing or selling armor-piercing ammunition a class B felony in New York, directly affecting individuals who handle this type of ammunition. It adds specific provisions to the penal law stating that possessing armor-piercing ammunition, or unlawfully selling, exchanging, or disposing of it, constitutes a serious criminal offense. The bill repeals an existing subdivision and amends two sections of the penal law to include these new felony classifications. These changes raise penalties for these activities from lesser offenses to a class B felony, the second-highest criminal classification in New York.
