SB 1600 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - Second Regular Session

unlawful securing of firearms; minors

SB 1600 makes it a crime for adults to negligently leave firearms accessible to minors under 17, specifically when the firearm is "readily dischargeable" (loaded or ready to fire). It requires reasonable storage measures like locked containers or trigger locks, and violations are classified as a class 6 felony (class 4 if injury or death occurs). The bill directly affects parents, guardians, or family members responsible for firearm storage, with specific exceptions for supervised use (e.g., hunting, self-defense). Key provisions include a 7-day arrest delay for family members if injury/death results and clear definitions of "minor" and "family member."
