Adds a requirement that handguns not be stored in an unoccupied, unsecured private conveyance or vessel unless hidden from view and secured or locked in a container, with penalties, education requirements, and updated warnings, so more restrictions on how firearms may be stored.
A person may not store a handgun, whether loaded or unloaded, in an unoccupied, unsecured private conveyance or vessel unless the handgun is kept from ordinary observation and view and secured with a device or mechanism that is securely affixed to the private conveyance or vessel or kept locked within a trunk, utility or glove box, or other locked container.

Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses firearms by imposing new storage requirements for handguns in unoccupied, unsecured vehicles and vessels (with definitions, penalties via amended warnings, and education mandates), which restricts the firearms/storage-minors axis; the promotional and curriculum changes are neutral as they add no new restrictions or expansions on firearm access.
