Summary
The Kimberly Vaughan Firearm Safe Storage Act makes it illegal for licensed gun makers, importers or dealers to sell a firearm without providing a written safe‑storage notice and a lockable storage device. It also creates federal best‑practice guidelines, a grant program for states and tribes to distribute storage devices, and a tax credit for retailers selling those devices. The goal is to reduce unauthorized access, theft, and accidental shootings.
