I live in Utah, and I talked with a police officer who said there are no laws saying that you'll be held liable for not storing your firearms in a certain way. There are laws saying you can't leave handguns with juveniles, if you don't have a permit you need to have it unloaded while in your vehicle, etc, but not that you'll be liable if you don't lock it up properly and someone commits a felony with it. I've heard that in some states, they have laws like that. I heard California has laws like that. I was just curious, in those states, what types of standards do they say that you have to prove you secured your firearm with in order to avoid prosecution if someone steals or gets into your firearms and does something with them?
