Minnesota SF3825 mandates that loaded firearms be stored in inaccessible locations for prohibited persons and children.

Minnesota SF3825 amends state statutes to require that loaded firearms be stored in locations inaccessible to children and individuals prohibited from possessing firearms. A person who negligently stores or leaves a loaded firearm where a child or a prohibited person is likely to gain access commits a gross misdemeanor unless reasonable action is taken to secure the firearm. The bill defines "loaded" as having ammunition in the chamber or magazine, unless the firearm is incapable of being fired by a child likely to gain access.
