Provide a cause of action against certain adults for allowing a minor to possess a handgun and create an offense of leaving a loaded firearm in a location accessible to a minor

Summary

The bill makes parents, guardians, or their spouses strictly liable in civil court if they knowingly allow a child under 14 to possess a handgun or ammunition. It also creates a new Class I misdemeanor for anyone who stores a loaded firearm in a way that a child under 14 could reach it and the child then uses the gun. Additional sections update definitions, confiscation rules, and add a felony for unlawful recruitment into violent groups.
