↓Restricts gun accessmodel confidence 80%
Creates a new Class 3 misdemeanor penalty for failing to provide a locking device or the required child-safety warning when selling or transferring a firearm.
A violation of this section is punishable as a Class 3 misdemeanor.
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill adds a new section requiring licensed sellers to provide a firearm locking device and a specific child-safety storage warning with every transfer (with narrow exceptions for government and law enforcement). This directly addresses firearm storage to prevent child access and adds a criminal penalty for noncompliance; both provisions increase restrictions on the firearms axis under the storage-minors and other subtags. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
