4 that the violation of its order was willful, and may commit the respond-
5 ent to jail for a term not to exceed six months. Such commitment may be
6 served upon certain specified days or parts of days as the court may
7 direct, and the court may, at any time within the term of such sentence,
8 revoke such suspension and commit the respondent for the remainder of
9 the original sentence, or suspend the remainder of such sentence. If the
10 court determines that the willful failure to obey such order involves
11 violent behavior constituting the crimes of menacing, reckless endanger-
12 ment, assault or attempted assault and if such a respondent is licensed
13 to carry, possess, repair and dispose of firearms pursuant to section
14 400.00 of the penal law, the court may also immediately revoke such
