Creates the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by a minor

HB 695 creates a new class A misdemeanor offense for minors under 18 knowingly possessing a handgun or ammunition designed for a handgun. It directly affects minors and requires parental/guardian written consent for specific activities like hunting or farming. Key exceptions include possession during farming/ranching with property owner permission, military service, target practice with consent, or defense of home. The bill repeals an older law and adds provisions to prevent permanent confiscation of firearms transferred to minors under permitted circumstances.
