AI Summary

  • Modifies existing firearm storage requirements for premises when minors are present by changing "or more" to "both," requiring compliance with all listed storage methods rather than selecting one option.

  • Removes the previous subsection (2)(c) option that allowed storing firearms in a locked vehicle outside premises, eliminating this as an alternative storage method.

  • Adds new Section 9a establishing specific firearm storage requirements for vehicles: firearms must be stored in a locked, opaque, hard-sided container (for pistols) that is attached to the vehicle interior, out of view, and the vehicle must be locked.

  • Sets penalties for vehicle firearm storage violations: civil infraction with up to $100 fine for violations; misdemeanor (up to 93 days imprisonment or $500 fine) if another person obtains the firearm; felony charges with escalating penalties up to 15 years imprisonment if the firearm is obtained and discharged causing injury, serious bodily impairment, or death.

  • Excludes self-defense situations from liability and defines "locked box or container" to exclude glove boxes and standard center consoles from meeting storage requirements.
