The state Senate has approved a bill making it a misdemeanor to store a firearm where it is accessible to a child.
Existing laws allow charges to be filed if someone is injured. But AB231 by Democratic Assemblyman Philip Ting of San Francisco makes it a crime to store any loaded firearm where the owner reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to it.
The bill passed the Senate on a 24-15 vote Monday. It now returns to the Assembly for final action.
This will immediately be added to my personal list of Proper Gun Control Laws. Of course, the California model doesn't go nearly far enough. Violation of this law should result in a felony and consequent loss of gun rights.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
You should add a line about how all lawful gun owners must have green skin and have 1/3 elvish ancestry for all you'll get out of it.
