| Colorado: Mandatory Storage Bill Sent to Senate Appropriations Committee |
| Friday, February 08, 2008 |
| State Senator Sue Windels
(D-19) has introduced
Senate Bill 49,
which requires mandatory storage of all firearms. This legislation
would force adults to put all their firearms under lock and key or face
an undetermined misdemeanor if a firearm is later used in a suicide or
crime. This dangerous bill renders homeowners defenseless and gives
criminals a clear advantage in home invasions. If passed, SB49
would add to the already cumbersome bureaucracy that affects gun shops,
gun shows, or anywhere else firearms are sold, by requiring them to post
a sign informing gun-owners that they must lock up their guns. On Monday, February 4 the Senate Committee on State, Veterans & Military Affairs voted 3-2 to send SB49 to the Senate Appropriations Committee. Please contact the members of the committee and respectfully urge them to defeat this dangerous legislation. Senate Appropriations Committee
