Which CPL section addresses unlawful possession of a weapon upon school grounds?

• A. CPL 265.06: unlawful possession of a weapon upon school grounds
• B. CPL 265.04: criminal possession of a weapon in the first degree
• C. CPL 265.15: presumptions of possession, unlawful intent and defacement
• D. CPL 265.07: unlawful possession of a weapon in the second degree

Answer: (A)

Unlawful possession of a weapon on school grounds is a statute crafted specifically to address having a weapon in a school setting. The idea is to provide a distinct offense with appropriate safeguards and penalties when a weapon is present on school property, reflecting the heightened safety concerns in educational environments.

This makes the statute that explicitly names school grounds the best fit for the question, because it targets the exact scenario described. The other options cover more general weapon possession (not tied to a school location) or deal with related issues like presumptions of possession or unlawful intent, which do not address possession on school grounds.
