Bill > SB790

This bill creates the offense of unlawful possession of a firearm by a minor. It establishes that a person under 18 years of age who knowingly possesses a handgun or handgun ammunition commits a Class A misdemeanor. However, there are exceptions, such as when a minor is using a handgun for employment, ranching, farming, target practice, hunting, or self-defense. The bill also addresses the confiscation and disposal of firearms and ammunition used in the commission of a felony, and specifies that firearms possessed by a minor in violation of this law should not be subject to permanent confiscation if the minor's possession becomes unlawful due to their own conduct.
