This is getting ugly. This just passed and more are coming up. This one basically says that it's against the law if we leave our property and any firearm is not secured based on THEIR law.
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2013–2014 REGULAR SESSION
Senate Bill
No. 108
Introduced by Senator Yee
January 14, 2013
An act to amend Sections 16520, 16540, 16750, 16850, and 23510 of, to add Section 17060 to, and to add Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 25235) to Division 4 of Title 4 of Part 6 of, the Penal Code, relating to firearms.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 108, as amended, Yee. Firearms: residential storage.
Existing law regulates the possession of firearms, including storage requirements to prevent children from gaining access to firearms, and other safety devices including gun safes. Existing law also regulates the lending of firearms. Existing law defines the term “firearm” for these and other regulatory purposes, and excludes from that definition, “antique firearms” for various regulatory purposes.
This bill would provide that no person who is 18 years of age or older and who is the owner, lessee, renter, or other legal occupant of a residence, shall, while outside of that residence, keep in that residence a firearm that he or she owns or has lawful possession of unless the firearm is stored in one of certain specified ways, including in a gun safe or by using a firearm safety device. Violation of these provisions would be an offense punishable as an infraction, or for subsequent violations, as an infraction or misdemeanor, as specified. The bill would define the term “residence” and the term “outside of that residence” for these purposes, would exclude antique firearms from these provisions, would provide that each firearm constitutes a distinct and separate offense under those provisions, and would make other conforming changes.
By creating a new crime, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
