DENVER Gov. Jared Polis has signed into law bills mandating the safe storage of firearms and requiring gun owners to report lost or stolen weapons.
Democrat sponsors argued the storage bill would help reduce suicides by youth and others, as well as accidental shootings. Republicans questioned whether the bill was intended to criminalize responsible gun owners.
The bill creates the offense of unlawful storage of a firearm if a person stores a gun knowing a youth or ineligible resident of the premises can access it without permission. The initiative is one of several being considered or adopted nationwide.
“It’s a sensible measure to help avoid immeasurable heartbreak,” Polis said Monday.
