## Summary

**Creates a business tax credit for safe firearm storage devices.** This bill would let sellers claim a nonrefundable credit equal to 10% of amounts received from the first retail sale of each qualifying device, capped at $400 per device and not exceeding the device's fair market value. - Businesses: Sellers of qualifying storage devices could claim the credit as part of the General Business Credit and against the Alternative Minimum Tax.
