Maine LD1120 aims to enhance firearm storage security by criminalizing negligent storage that allows minors or prohibited persons access to firearms.
Maine LD1120 seeks to strengthen firearm storage regulations by making it a crime to negligently store a firearm where a minor or prohibited person might access it, potentially leading to criminal use or display. The bill repeals previous laws and introduces new penalties, including Class D and Class C crimes for negligent storage resulting in crime or serious injury. It also mandates licensed firearms dealers to post notices warning about the risks of unsecured firearms in homes. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in criminal prosecution.
