Firearms; storage requirements provided; criminal penalty for violation resulting in possession by minor under certain circumstances, subject to exceptions

Summary

The bill requires parents or legal guardians to keep any firearms they own in a locked box, safe, or with a trigger lock to prevent a minor from accessing them. If a child obtains the gun and brings it onto a public school property because it wasn’t properly secured, the adult can be charged with a Class A misdemeanor. Certain exemptions apply, such as when the minor is legally allowed to have the gun or the gun is in a vehicle parked at the school.
