Community Firearm Safety Act of 2026
The Community Firearm Safety Act of 2026 would amend federal law to allow Byrne grants to fund programs providing gun safes to individuals at no cost. These safes must securely store firearms and require a key, combination, or similar method to unlock. The bill directly affects state and local governments administering Byrne grants and residents who receive the safes through these programs. It expands existing grant authority without creating new funding, specifically permitting the distribution of safety devices to improve firearm storage.
