Weapons: firearms; vehicle firearm storage requirements; modify. Amends sec. 9 of 1927 PA 372 (MCL 28.429) & adds sec. 9a.

HB 6175 modifies Michigan's firearm storage laws to require individuals to secure their guns when minors are present or likely to be present. The bill mandates that firearms be stored in locked containers, kept unloaded, and locked with a device that renders them inoperable, with additional rules for vehicles requiring the container to be attached inside and out of sight. Owners who fail to follow these safety measures face misdemeanor charges if a minor accesses the gun and exhibits it improperly, or felony charges if the minor is injured or killed. The law includes specific exceptions for supervised activities like hunting, target practice, and employment, while also directing state agencies to educate the public about these new penalties.
