Summary

The bill would make it illegal to leave a handgun, loaded or unloaded, in an empty, unsecured vehicle or vessel unless it is hidden from view and secured with a lock or affixed device. It also obliges law‑enforcement agencies to run public education campaigns and requires firearm‑training courses to teach the new storage rules. Retailers would have to give buyers a written warning and post the same warning at the point of sale.
