Alameda considering requiring mandatory training for firearm owners

1
Gun owners could face mandatory training in East Bay city
Gun owners in Alameda might be required to receive mandatory training to use their weapons.
The mandatory training could include lessons about how firearms can make domestic violence even more dangerous and how someone in a mental health crisis or struggling with substance abuse may be more likely to contemplate suicide if a firearm is nearby.

The proposed ordinance also would require gun owners to store their firearms at home inside a locked container or have them disabled with a trigger lock. In addition, the ordinance would require all gun sales to be videotaped.

No opportunity here. The "training" they want to require is not training in how to safely use a gun, it's political "training" in how dangerous and bad guns are.

This is a bill to require political reeducation classes. It *should* be obvious to anyone that this runs afoul of the Constitution, but the anti-gunners won't care.

Maybe someone should tell them that this law is already on the books for all of California :wall:
It is?

What I wanna know is it's already been shown some of the approved trigger locks won't stop the trigger from being pulled. So if that occurs, and someone is shot, who is to blame? The State for the approval? Or the owner for living in CA?

It's weird in California--duh. It's not required by law to store guns safely.

However, when you buy a gun, you have to sign a paper saying you have a gun safe or they have to sell you a trigger lock. And if someone steals your poorly-stored gun and does a crime with it, you're liable. And if a kid gets your gun, you're also liable. What kind of sorcery is this? It's Jerry Brown, who wrote that not every problem needs a law. So, no safe storage law, but if you don't store it safely and it gets stolen, you're screwn. Solution? Safe storage. Weirdly Californian.

Are cops (active, off-duty, retired) also liable in case of theft? That's the litmus test in a democracy, IMO. In any case, I actually agree (in principle) with the liability regarding minors.

This is the closest I could come, so it looks like we're still a democracy in California. Haven't found about storage in the home yet.

"SEC. 2. Section 25452 is added to the Penal Code, to read:

25452. A peace officer and an honorably retired peace officer shall, when leaving a handgun in an unattended vehicle, secure the handgun in the vehicle pursuant to Section 25140."
