Bill > AB273

This bill provides civil liability immunity for licensed firearm dealers who enter into a firearm hold agreement, which is a written or oral arrangement where a firearm owner voluntarily asks a licensed dealer to temporarily store their lawfully possessed firearm for an agreed period and then return it according to the terms of the agreement. Specifically, the bill protects these dealers from being sued for any personal injury or death that might arise from the firearm hold agreement, with one key exception: if the dealer's actions involve unlawful conduct, they would not be immune from civil liability. The bill defines a "licensed firearm dealer" as someone licensed under federal law (specifically 18 U.S.C. § 923(a)) and specifies that these protections will apply to causes of action that accrue on or after October 1, 2025. This legislation appears aimed at providing legal protection for firearm dealers who offer temporary storage services to firearm owners, potentially encouraging such services by reducing the dealers' legal risk.
