Summary
The bill forces federally licensed firearms dealers in Michigan to include a trigger lock or secure gun case with every firearm they sell, along with safety brochures and warning notices. It gives dealers immunity from damages if they follow these rules and restricts counties and cities from suing firearm manufacturers, leaving only the state attorney general to bring such actions. Violations are punishable by misdemeanors that can become felonies after multiple offenses.
