Governor Jared Polis signed two new gun bills into law yesterday.
One requires people to secure their firearms when they’re not in use or face a Class 2 misdemeanor charge. The other mandates that lost or stolen firearms be reported to authorities within five days or face a civil infraction of a $25 fine.
Polis called the measures common-sense action and “best practices for responsible gun owners.”
No Republicans supported either bill, saying they infringe on gun owners’ rights and criminalize gun owners.
