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 is 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, ensuring that purchasers have access to multiple safety options.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that dealers must display a specific poster and provide a brochure related to firearm safety, as mandated by section 5502.63 of the Revised Code. The existing version of section 2923.25 is repealed, indicating a complete overhaul of the previous regulations regarding firearm sales and safety measures. This legislative change aims to promote responsible gun ownership and enhance safety measures for firearms.
