Prohibits leaving loaded firearm within easy access of minor under age of 18; requires law enforcement officers who observe unsecured firearms to conduct follow-up.

This bill raises the age of a minor covered by the law from 16 to 18, prohibiting firearm owners from leaving loaded guns within easy access of minors under 18. It requires owners to store loaded firearms securely - using a locked container, a secure location, or a trigger lock - to avoid being charged with a disorderly persons offense. Law enforcement officers who observe unsecured firearms must return to the premises to ensure proper storage, with violations punishable by up to six months in jail or a $1,000 fine. The law applies to all firearm owners at premises they control, including homes where minors reside or visit.
