In Colorado, it's a fine and/or up to a year in jail. While Massachusetts and Oregon enacted these rules for all gun owners, regulations in some states, such as Colorado and California, only apply these laws to gun owners who live with a person who is legally prohibited from possessing a firearm. Safe storage laws generally require that a weapon must be stored unloaded, in a locked container or with a trigger lock, a device that goes over a firearm's trigger and can be locked and unlocked using a key or numerical combination. Kate Brown signed the Cindy Yuille and Steve Forsyth Act into law, named to honor the two who died in the shooting. Massachusetts was the first state to require all firearms be locked up while not in use Oregon became the second this summer when Gov. that have some form of safe storage law on the books, according to the Giffords Law Center, a gun violence prevention organization. ![]()
