Resumen con IA If a person fails to properly secure their gun and it is later used by someone else to commit a crime, the victim can sue the gun owner in court.

Lea la explicación oficial (en inglés)
This bill relates to securing firearms and establishing a private cause of action. Under the bill, if a firearm owner fails to secure their firearm against theft, or against the acquisition or use by an unauthorized person, and as a result the firearm is later used to commit a criminal offense by a third party, any person harmed by that offense may bring a civil action against the firearm owner. The bill provides that a firearm owner has an affirmative defense if the firearm was stolen and the theft was reported to law enforcement before the criminal offense occurred. The bill applies to causes of action that arise on or after July 1, 2026.
