Pritzker signs ‘Safe Gun Storage Act’ with civil penalties up to $10,000 – Center Square

The law increases the age from 14 to 18 for what’s considered a minor where a firearm must be “secured by a device or mechanism, other than the firearm safety, designed to render a firearm temporarily inoperable;” or “placed in a securely locked box or container.”

Most people do safely store and keep their firearms. Good luck collecting a fine the next time a kid finds a gun under a mattress or on a nightstand and kills himself or a sibling/ playmate goofing around on the south or west sides where it seems to happen most frequently.
