Relative to the storage of firearms. Public Safety and Homeland Security.

AI Summary

This bill amends Massachusetts law to exempt premises where no minors reside from the requirement to store firearms in a locked container or equipped with a trigger lock. The existing law, which is being modified, requires the secure storage of firearms to prevent access by unauthorized users, particularly minors. This bill provides an exception to that storage requirement for homes without children.
