The bill amends section 2923.25 of the Revised Code to enhance firearm safety by requiring federally licensed firearms dealers to provide and attach a trigger lock to each firearm sold. The previous requirement to merely offer a gun lock for sale has been replaced with a mandate to provide and attach a trigger lock at the time of sale. Additionally, dealers are required to offer for sale other appropriate gun locks or locking devices if they are available.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that each dealer must display a poster and provide a brochure related to firearm safety, as mandated by section 5502.63 of the Revised Code. The existing section 2923.25 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous regulations regarding firearm sales and safety measures.
