Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new subchapter granting civil immunity to federal firearms licensees for acts or omissions under voluntary firearm hold (storage) agreements, except for unlawful conduct or gross negligence. This expands the firearms topic by shielding dealers from liability (industry-liability subtag). It also touches storage-minors because the immunity could apply to storage scenarios involving minors (though the bill text does not explicitly mention minors), but the core focus is general liability protection for storage agreements.
