Gun Safety Incentive Act
Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Carson, Andre [D-IN-7]
Introduced
Summary
Promote safer firearm storage by pairing public education, a requirement to include safe-storage notices with many firearm sales, grants to distribute locking devices, and a temporary tax credit to boost market uptake. It would also expand secure-storage device rules beyond handguns to cover rifles and shotguns.
Show full summary
- Families and households: More public information and wider local distribution of locking devices aim to reduce unauthorized access to firearms and theft. Programs emphasize free or low-cost devices and privacy protections for recipients.
- Manufacturers, importers, and retailers: Licensed manufacturers and importers that serialize at least 250 firearms a year would have to include a clear “SAFE STORAGE SAVES LIVES” notice with each handgun, rifle, and shotgun starting January 1, 2027.
- States and Indian Tribes: Could receive grants to buy and distribute safe storage devices. The bill authorizes $10.0 million per year for fiscal years 2027–2035 and requires at least 75% of funds be used for local programs.
- Businesses and sellers of storage devices: Establishes a temporary business tax credit equal to 10% of the first retail sale of qualifying safe storage devices, capped at $400 per device and ending after December 31, 2032.
*Would increase federal outlays and reduce revenue: it authorizes $10.0 million annually for 2027–2035 and creates a temporary tax credit through 2032, so the net effect would raise the federal deficit.*

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Tax credit for safe-storage device sales
If enacted, retailers could claim a business tax credit for selling qualifying safe firearm storage devices. The credit would equal 10% of the first retail sale price, up to $400 per device. It would apply for tax years beginning after enactment and end for sales after December 31, 2032. Devices built into a gun or under a mandatory recall would not qualify. Treasury would publish yearly totals by state.
All gun sales include a lock
If enacted, gun dealers would need to include a safe storage device with every handgun, rifle, and shotgun sale. This would expand current rules that cover only handguns. The change would start 180 days after enactment.
Grants and guidance for safe storage
If enacted, the Justice Department would publish voluntary best practices for safe gun storage within 180 days, with at least 90 days’ public notice and yearly updates. The guidance would be posted online within one year. The bill would also provide $10 million each year from 2027 through 2035 to States and Indian Tribes to buy and give out storage devices. At least 75% must fund local programs, and up to 25% could go to nonprofits. Grantees would report yearly without personal data, and the Department would report to Congress.
Manufacturers must add safe-storage notice
If enacted, licensed gun makers and importers that serialize at least 250 firearms a year would need to add a notice to each gun’s packaging. The notice would say "SAFE STORAGE SAVES LIVES" and list the Attorney General’s safe-storage website. This would start January 1, 2027.
