I'm not up on new York Child Labor laws, but here's a place to start.

Looks pretty specific, not a whole lot allowed BUT:

These rules do not apply to: .
•Workers younger than 18 who are apprentices individually registered in DOL registered apprenticeship programs
•Student-learners enrolled in recognized cooperative vocational training programs,
•Trainees in approved on-the-job training programs

Maybe get some machine shop skills in a training program, would come in handy in gun work.

Just an idea.
