Firearm Storage Requirements

Summary

The bill creates a new criminal offense for anyone 18 or older who stores a loaded firearm at home without locking it or using a trigger lock, and a minor under 16 then obtains the gun. It targets adults who could reasonably foresee a child getting the weapon and aims to prevent dangerous incidents involving minors. Violations are classified as a Class C misdemeanor, with limited defenses and specific exceptions.
