New law requires large warning labels at Albany County gun sellers
Troy Police investigate a shooting that took place near 6th Avenue and 103rd Street around 4 p.m.
Warning labels will soon be required wherever guns are sold in Albany County.
The county legislature passed a local ordinance requiring all gun stores, dealers, and vendors in the county to display a sign at their businesses. The sign warns of the risk of suicide and accidental death.
The law specifies that the font must be bold and sized at 26-point font at least.
The law goes into effect in about 30 to 60 days.
