Relates to removing the maximum age limit for firearms instruction exemptions
This bill removes the maximum age limit of 21 for supervised pistol and revolver instruction at shooting ranges in New York. It specifically amends Section 265.20 of the penal law to eliminate the "under twenty-one" restriction for individuals aged 14+ seeking supervised pistol practice, while maintaining existing requirements for supervision by certified instructors or guardians. The change directly affects people aged 14-20 who wish to receive supervised firearm training at licensed ranges or competitions. The bill does not alter firearm ownership laws but modifies eligibility for supervised instruction exemptions.
