Safe storage, lost and stolen bill a ‘hot mess,’ Illinois rifle association says – Center Square

House Bill 5891 would increase the age to 18 from 14 for when a firearm must be secured inside a location where a minor is present. Leaving in place that a firearm must be placed in a securely locked box or container, the proposal strikes a provision from law that a firearm can be “placed in some other locations that a responsible person would believe to be secure from a minor.”
