New gun law proposed for NJ: Mandating safe storage in homes
TRENTON To enhance gun safety in New Jersey, a state lawmaker has introduced legislation that would mandate safe storage of firearms.
Assemblywoman Joann Downey, D-Monmouth, said current law calls for storage requirements and penalties if a minor accesses a loaded firearm. But there is no general requirement for storing firearms when not in use.
This bill will establish penalties for improper storage of a firearm that would result in access of a firearm. It requires a warning to be issued to firearm purchasers, said Downey. It also requires the attorney general to establish a public awareness campaign to inform and educate the public on the requirements and penalties imposed under the bill and the dangers associated with the presence of a loaded, unsecured firearm in the home.
