   § 2. Section 265.45 of the penal law, as amended by section 3 of  part
 FF of chapter 57 of the laws of 2013, is amended to read as follows:
 § 265.45 Safe storage of rifles, shotguns, and firearms.
   No  person who owns or is custodian of a rifle, shotgun or firearm who
 resides with an individual who such person knows or has reason  to  know
 is  prohibited  from possessing a firearm pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 922(g)
 (1), (4), (8) or (9), OR PURSUANT TO A TEMPORARY OR FINAL  EXTREME  RISK
 PROTECTION  ORDER  ISSUED UNDER ARTICLE SIXTY-THREE-A OF THE CIVIL PRAC-
 TICE LAW AND RULES, 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 appro-
 priate 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 mean  a  safe  or  other
 secure  container which, when locked, is incapable of being opened with-
 out the key, combination or other unlocking mechanism and is capable  of
 preventing   an   unauthorized  person  from  obtaining  access  to  and
 possession of the weapon contained therein. With respect to a person who
 is prohibited from possessing a firearm pursuant to 18 USC §  922(g)(9),
 for  purposes  of this section, this section applies only if such person
 has been convicted of a crime included in  subdivision  one  of  section
 370.15  of  the  criminal procedure law and such gun is possessed within
 five years from the later of the date of  conviction  or  completion  of
 sentence.  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.
   A violation of this section shall constitute a class A misdemeanor.
   § 3. Severability. If any part or provision of this act is adjudged by
 a  court  of  competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or otherwise
 invalid, such judgment shall not affect or  impair  any  other  part  or
 provision  of  this  act, but shall be confined in its operation to such
 part or provision.
   § 4. This act shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after
 it shall have become a law.
