Pritzker Reviews Bill on Safe Firearm Storage Near Minors

Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is set to consider a new bill, dubbed the Safe Gun Storage Act, which would require gun owners to keep firearms in locked boxes whenever minors are present. This legislative measure comes amid ongoing debates about gun safety and aims to reduce child access to firearms, which have been cited as a leading cause of death for children in the U.S. The bill passed the Illinois House with a vote of 69-40, and supporters argue that it will help prevent unintentional injuries and gun violence by ensuring responsible firearm ownership.

Under this proposed legislation, penalties for failing to secure guns could reach up to $10,000 if a minor accesses the weapon. The bill also includes a requirement for firearm owners to report lost or stolen firearms within 48 hours, a change from the existing 72-hour timeframe. As the law faces scrutiny from both Republicans who argue it may be unconstitutional and Democrats who emphasize safety, Pritzker’s decision could significantly impact Illinois gun policy and the ongoing conversation around firearm regulations.
