Existing law establishes the offenses of criminal storage of a firearm in the first degree, when a person keeps a loaded firearm within any premises under his or her custody or control, the person knows or reasonably should know that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child's parent or guardian, and a child obtains access to a person's loaded firearm resulting in death or great bodily injury, as specified, and criminal storage of a firearm in the 2nd degree, when under those circumstances, the child obtains access to the firearm resulting in injury other than great bodily injury or the firearm is carried off premises, as specified. Existing law makes the first degree offense punishable as a felony or misdemeanor with specified penalties and makes the 2nd degree offense punishable as a misdemeanor with specified penalties. This bill would establish the offense of criminal storage of a firearm in the 3rd degree, when a person keeps a loaded firearm within any premises under his or her custody or control and negligently stores or leaves a loaded firearm in a location where the person knows, or reasonably should know, that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm without the permission of the child's parent or legal guardian, unless reasonable action is taken by the person to secure the firearm against access by the child. The bill would make the offense punishable as a misdemeanor. By creating a new crime, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. Existing law requires a firearms dealer to conspicuously post specified warnings in the dealer's licensed premises, including, among others, warnings regarding the criminal storage of firearms and the penalties for those offenses. This bill would make conforming changes to those required warnings to reflect the offense of criminal storage of a firearm in the 3rd degree. This bill would incorporate changes to Section 25100 of the Penal Code proposed by SB 363 that would become operative if this bill and SB 363 are both chaptered and this bill is chaptered last. The bill would also incorporate changes to Section 26835 of the Penal Code proposed by SB 299 that would become operative if this bill and SB 299 are both chaptered and this bill is chaptered last. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.
