Set to take effect on February 3rd, new rules from the DOJ that were announced yesterday modify late-90’s law to expand and clarify an FFL’s requirement to offer secure gun storage or safety devices for all firearms sold to customers. It also appears to have expanded the definition of “antique firearm.”
You can read the rule as entered in the Federal Register here.
Every type of FFL, modified to now include manufacturers and importers, will have to certify that “secure gun storage or safety devices will be available at any place where firearms are sold under the license to non-licensed individuals.”
Furthermore, those secure gun storage devices (safes, lockers, locking cases, or most other containers that require a key or combination to access) or safety devices (trigger locks, cable locks, “a device incorporated into the design of the firearm,” etc.) must actually be compatible with the firearms offered for sale by the FFL.
