vision 3 is added to read as follows:
  2.  "Imitation  weapon" means any device or object, INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, ANY CASE OR COVER FOR A WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICE,  made
of plastic, wood, metal or any other material which substantially dupli-
cates or can reasonably be perceived to be an actual firearm, air rifle,
pellet  gun,  or  "B-B" gun; unless such imitation weapon (a) is colored
other than black, blue, silver or aluminum, (b) is marked with a non-re-
movable orange stripe which is at least one inch in width and  runs  the
entire  length  of  the  barrel  on  each  side and the front end of the
barrel, and (c) has a barrel at least  one  inch  in  diameter  that  is
closed  for a distance of not less than one-half inch from the front-end
of its barrel with the same material of which the  imitation  weapon  is
made.  "Imitation  weapon"  does not include any nonfiring replica of an
antique firearm, the original of which was  designed,  manufactured  and
produced prior to eighteen hundred ninety-eight.
  3.  "WIRELESS  COMMUNICATIONS  DEVICE" MEANS A WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS
DEVICE AS DEFINED IN SUBDIVISION NINE OF SECTION THREE  HUNDRED  ONE  OF
THE COUNTY LAW.
  S 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
