Creates the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by a minor
SB 34 would create a new criminal offense for minors (typically under 18) possessing firearms without authorization. It directly affects minors who have a firearm in their possession without legal permission, such as from a parent, guardian, or for lawful activities like hunting with supervision. The bill establishes specific legal consequences for this unauthorized possession, defining it as a distinct violation separate from general firearm laws. This change would apply to any minor found with a firearm in their control, regardless of intent or whether the firearm was loaded.
