Enhancing public safety by requiring financial responsibility to purchase or possess a firearm or operate a firearm range.

Summary

The bill makes it illegal to buy or keep a gun in Washington unless the person has a liability insurance policy, a surety bond, a self‑insurance certificate, or a $25,000 deposit covering accidental discharge. Dealers and police can demand proof, and failure to provide it results in a civil infraction. The goal is to increase public safety by ensuring gun owners can pay for accidental injuries or damage.
