Under California law, who is responsible for securing a firearm in a home?

  1. The youngest person in the household

  2. The firearm owner

  3. Local law enforcement

  4. Everyone in the household

The correct answer is: The firearm owner

The correct answer is that the firearm owner is responsible for securing a firearm in the home. Under California law, it is the duty of the person who owns the firearm to ensure that it is stored safely and securely, particularly to prevent access by unauthorized individuals, including children. This responsibility is critical in promoting safety and reducing the risk of accidents or misuse of firearms. The law encourages firearm owners to utilize secure storage options such as safes or lockboxes to keep firearms inaccessible, thereby enhancing overall household safety. While everyone in the household shares a general responsibility for maintaining a safe environment, it is ultimately the firearm owner who holds the legal obligation to secure the weapon properly.
