IN HB1021

Caregivers who recklessly, knowingly, or intentionally fail to secure a loaded firearm in their residence or vehicle commit neglect of a dependent (Level 6 felony) if the dependent uses the firearm to cause bodily injury or death to any person

Offense elevates to a Level 5 felony if the caregiver has a prior unrelated conviction for neglect of a dependent

Exceptions apply to inoperable firearms, antique firearms, firearms carried on one's person or within ready reach, lawful self-defense situations, and certain lawful firearm uses

"Securing" a loaded firearm includes storing it in a locked container or using trigger locks, bore locks, cable locks, or disassembling the firearm

Retail firearm dealers must conspicuously display a sign warning that failing to secure loaded firearms around dependents is a felony; violation is a Class C infraction (Class A for repeat offenses)
