Require firearm sellers to provide safe storage information and a safe storage device with every firearm sold, while also creating federal support for safe storage education and access to storage devices.

The legislation would require federally licensed firearm manufacturers, importers, and dealers to provide written safe storage information and a safe storage device with every firearm sold. It would also direct the Department of Justice to develop and distribute best practices for safe firearm storage and establish a grant program to help communities access safe storage devices. In addition, the bill would create a federal tax credit to make firearm safes and storage devices more affordable for American families seeking to responsibly own a firearm.

Menefee backed and introduced a bill to mandate safe-storage information and devices with firearm sales, direct DOJ guidance, fund community access to storage devices, and create a tax credit for safes and storage devices.
