Revises the standard for criminal negligence in storing a loaded firearm accessible to a minor, expands the age of a 'minor' to under 18, requires secure storage with a locking mechanism or box, and adds criminal penalties if a minor gains access and possesses/exhibits it or causes harm.
A person who stores or leaves, on a premise under his or her control, a loaded firearm, as defined in s. 790.001, and who knows or reasonably should know that a minor is likely to gain access to the firearm without the lawful permission of the minor’s parent or guardian or the person having charge of the minor, or without the supervision required by law, shall keep the firearm in a securely locked box or container or shall secure it with a firearm locking mechanism

Updates the offense severity ranking chart to reflect the revised penalties for adult storage of a loaded firearm accessible to a minor who uses it to inflict injury or death.
784.05(3)(a)1. 3rd Adult storing or leaving a loaded firearm within reach of minor who uses it to inflict injury or death.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill substantively addresses firearms by tightening safe storage requirements for loaded firearms to prevent minor access (raising minor age to 18, mandating locked boxes/mechanisms, adding penalties for resulting access/possession/harm), requiring point-of-sale safety information and locking mechanism demos with penalties, and updating related criminal references; these provisions restrict firearm storage and transfer practices but do not address purchase background checks, carry, accessories, red-flag orders, preemption, or industry liability.
