Colorado HB21-1106 would create a law requiring all firearms to be secured when not in use to prevent access by unsupervised juveniles and other unauthorized users.
The bill also requires licensed gun dealers to provide with each firearm, at the time of a firearm sale or transfer, a locking device capable of securing the firearm. Transferring a firearm without a locking device would be an unclassified misdemeanor punishable by a maximum $500 fine.
The bill defines a locking device as, “a device that prohibits the operation or discharge of a firearm and that can only be disabled with the use of a key, combination, or biometric data.”
Were the bill to pass, unlawful storage of a firearm would be a class 2 misdemeanor. The fine for a class 2 misdemeanor is $250 to $1,000, and the fine for an unclassified misdemeanor can be up to $500.
