Enhanced Safety: New Mandatory Firearm Storage Rules for Licensed Dealers.
This law establishes strict, mandatory security standards for licensed firearm dealers, manufacturers, and importers. The primary goal is to significantly reduce the theft of firearms from commercial premises, thereby enhancing public safety in communities. Dealers must now secure inventory using specific methods like locked vaults, fireproof safes, or anchored steel locking rods when the business is closed.
Key points
Licensed firearm dealers must implement rigorous storage methods (e.g., fireproof safes, vaults, or specific anchored steel locking devices) for all inventory when the business is closed.
Penalties for non-compliance include civil fines ($1,000 to $10,000), license suspension, or license revocation after repeated violations.
New license applicants must submit and prove a plan detailing how they will meet these new, strict security requirements.
