Illinois Lawmakers Advance Safe Gun Storage Bill

By John Szink May 28, 2025 | 7:29 AM

A new safe gun storage bill is advancing in Illinois.

The Illinois House Gun Violence Prevention Committee approved legislation that would require all guns to be put in safe storage if there are minors, at risk people, or Illinoisans ineligible for a FOID card in the building.

If approved by the House, the proposal will be sent to Governor Pritzker’s desk.
