AI Summary
This bill creates a new section in the Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) Chapter 527 to prohibit the unlawful storage of firearms. It establishes that it is a crime for a person to recklessly store or leave a firearm in a manner that allows a minor to have unsupervised access to it, unless the firearm is secured in a locked container, by a device that renders it temporarily inoperable, or carried on the person. The crime is a Class B misdemeanor, but can become a Class A misdemeanor if the minor uses the firearm in a way that results in physical injury, serious physical injury, or death. The bill also cites this legislation as the "Baby Dre Gun Safety Act."
