↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 70%
Establishes a new class E felony tied to unsafe firearm storage that leads to criminal use, adding a specific penalty provision to existing storage requirements.
Unlawful storage of a firearm leading to use in the commission of a crime is a class E felony.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill creates a new felony for failure to comply with existing safe-storage requirements (cross-referencing §§ 265.45 and 265.46, which mandate locked storage away from minors) when the firearm is subsequently used in a preventable crime. This adds enforcement and penalties for unsafe storage, restricting the firearms topic on the storage-minors subtag and under other. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
