(LAW ENFORCEMENT TODAY) – On Saturday, September 25th, a new law took effect requiring guns to be locked and/or securely stored when in the home.
On April 19, 2021, Breitbart News reported that the Oregon legislature was considering the gun lock bill and noted it “would be among the toughest in the U.S.” Backers of the bill stated it would save lives and opponents argued it could lead to deaths.
As the bill was being considered, opponents of gun lock requirements testified of having loved ones who had needed a gun for self-defense, but who were unable to access their firearm because it was locked.
