Is the newly introduced House Bill 2510 about safe storage of firearms or is it designed to make firearm ownership too expensive?
Sponsors frame the bill as a common-sense approach to safe storage, but the actual details reveal it to be much more. The bill’s 14 highly technical definitions of safe storage violations of theft, loss and reporting requirements will make it difficult for many firearm owners to comply.
A technical violation of the law imposes financial liability on Oregon firearm owners if a lost/stolen firearm causes injuries. An apparent selling point is the absence of any criminal responsibility (except a misdemeanor when minors are injured) for the firearm owner, only financial responsibility. The Oregon Health Authority will determine locks and safes are acceptable without any consideration for locks or safes purchased prior to the bill’s ratification.
