What it does
The Protect Children Through Safe Gun Ownership Act would require adults to actively supervise juveniles when they possess handguns and mandate that firearms be securely stored when not carried on the person, making it unlawful to leave unsecured firearms accessible. It establishes civil penalties for violations, allows injured individuals or their families to sue for damages, and prohibits firearm transfers to those previously penalized for unsafe storage. The bill also creates a grant program for schools to educate parents on gun safety and requires federal agencies to report on implementation and enforce compliance through background checks and licensee notifications.
