Florida lawmakers pass first-of-its-kind gun safety bill
The measure, after three accidental child deaths since June, requires securing loaded firearms and imposes penalties up to five years in prison and a $5,000 fine for owners who fail to lock weapons away from youths fifteen and under. Police officials and prosecutors question enforcement practicality. Gov. Martinez expected to sign this week. The bill exempts police and military, and includes signage and warnings at gun shops plus a state education program.
