New Jersey Safe Storage of Firearms Act mandates secure storage of firearms and repeals minor access law.

The New Jersey Safe Storage of Firearms Act establishes requirements for firearm storage, including storing firearms unloaded in a gun safe or locked container and keeping ammunition separate. It repeals the law governing minor access to firearms, replacing it with broader storage requirements and penalties. The Attorney General is required to create a public awareness campaign about these provisions, funded by a $500,000 appropriation. The campaign will educate the public on the dangers of unsecured firearms and the penalties for non-compliance.
