Establishes provisions related to the safe storage of firearms
HB 307 requires firearm owners to store guns securely on their premises, meaning unloaded and locked away from children and unauthorized people (including those ineligible to own guns under state/federal law). It defines secure storage as using locks, safes, or personalized firearms with activation features, and creates a new offense for failing to do so, punishable by a $500 fine for a first violation. The bill also mandates that gun dealers display clear warnings about storage penalties and provides multilingual resources on storage rules and suicide prevention via the state website. It exempts antique firearms and curios/relics from these requirements.
