unlawful securing of firearms; minors

This bill makes it a felony for adults to negligently leave firearms accessible to minors under 17, requiring reasonable security measures like locked containers or trigger locks to prevent access. It directly affects parents, guardians, and others responsible for firearm storage around minors, with penalties ranging from a class 6 felony (standard violation) to a class 4 felony if the minor discharges the firearm causing death or serious injury. Key exceptions include supervised hunting, lawful self-defense, agricultural use, or activities covered under existing statutes. The law also delays arrests for family members for seven days after the incident.
