Establishes provisions related to the safe storage of firearms

HB 2884 establishes new laws requiring firearm owners to store guns securely to prevent access by children or individuals prohibited from owning firearms. The bill defines responsible storage as keeping firearms unloaded and locked in containers or with devices that cannot be easily opened by unauthorized persons, while also mandating that advanced safety features on personalized firearms remain active. Owners who fail to follow these rules and allow a child or ineligible person to access a gun may face fines or misdemeanor charges, though a legal defense exists if the firearm was used for self-defense. Additionally, the legislation requires licensed dealers to display warning notices about these penalties and directs the state department of public safety to include information about the law on its website and in materials provided to dealers and healthcare providers.
