FISU WUG Biathlon Lake Placid

Unfortunately the text of the law specifically states that a firearm, rifle, or shotgun is illegal to possess at every sporting event (which is now classified as a "sensitive location"). Every skier will be facing the potential of a class E felony!

At maximum that would be 1 and one-third to four year sentence in state prison plus a fine of $5,000, $300 mandatory surcharge, a crime victim assistance fee of $25, and a $50 DNA databank fee (and you have to submit a DNA sample).

Goes into effect September 1.
