Massachusetts Safe Storage Law

Massachusetts Safe Storage Law requires gun owners to securely store firearms when not in use, especially to prevent access by children or unauthorized persons. This typically means locking the firearm in a locked container or using a lock to prevent access. The law aims to reduce accidental shootings and gun thefts by ensuring firearms are not easily accessible to those who shouldn't have them. Owners can face legal consequences if they fail to properly store their firearms, particularly if an unsecured gun is used in a crime or injury occurs.
