Secure Firearm Storage: New Rules for Dealers
New regulations aim to enhance community safety by mandating secure storage of firearms and records by licensed dealers. This is intended to reduce the risk of firearm theft and unauthorized use, potentially improving overall public safety.
Key points
Mandatory secure firearm storage: Dealers must secure firearms in safes, gun cabinets, or with specific locking devices when their premises are closed.
Secure record keeping: Paper records of firearm inventory and transactions must be stored in secure locations like fireproof safes or vaults.
Penalties for non-compliance: Violations can result in civil penalties, license suspension for a second offense, and license revocation for a third offense.
Additional security measures: The Attorney General may require further security measures, such as alarm systems and security cameras, to reduce theft risk.
