## Summary

**Secure firearms storage** is the focus of this bill. It would require gun dealers to give buyers government-prescribed storage guidance, require some dealers to stock a range of locking devices, and create a tax credit for qualifying gun safes. - Prospective buyers and households would be given Attorney General‑specified storage information, including recommendations to store firearms unloaded, out of reach of children and others without access, kept separately from ammunition, secured with a locking device, and data on how secure storage relates to suicide, homicide, school firearm violence, unintentional shootings, and theft. - Certain federal firearms licensees would need to carry multiple secure storage options for sale, explicitly listing full‑size gun safes, lock boxes and lockers, gun cases, and cable or trigger locks. The new retail and information rules would take effect six months after enactment. - Purchasers could claim a new nonrefundable Gun Safe Credit equal to amounts paid for a qualified gun safe, with a lifetime cap of $500 per taxpayer. The credit reduces the tax basis of the property and lowers any deduction for that property, and it applies to taxable years beginning after enactment.
