New York A00437 requires warnings about the risks of having rifles and shotguns in the home.

New York A00437 amends the penal law to include rifles and shotguns in the required warnings to consumers about the risks of having such weapons in the home. The bill mandates that firearms dealers post specific warnings at the point of sale and provide written warnings to purchasers at the time of sale or when issuing or amending a license or permit. The warnings must state that access to a rifle, shotgun, or firearm in the home significantly increases the risk of suicide, death during domestic disputes, and unintentional deaths to children, household members, and others.
