Summary
Summary by the Congressional Research Service· describes the “Introduced in House” version
Secure Storage Information Act of 2025
This bill requires federal firearm licensees (FFLs) to provide information about the secure storage of firearms upon the sale, delivery, or transfer of a firearm and to make available for purchase a variety of secure gun storage or safety devices. (Exceptions apply.) The bill also establishes a new tax credit for the purchase of a qualified gun safe.
Specifically, under the bill, FFLs must provide information about the secure storage of firearms upon the sale, delivery, or transfer of a firearm to any person (other than another FFL), including information related to
• storing firearms unloaded, out of the reach of children, and separately from ammunition;
• securing firearms with a locking device;
• the importance of securely storing firearms and the risks of unsecured firearms; and
• guidance on storage devices.
The bill also requires that FFLs make available for purchase a variety of secure gun storage or safety devices (including full-size gun safes, lock boxes and lockers, gun cases, or cable and trigger locks) at any place where firearms are sold to a person who is not a FFL (Under current law, FFLs that sell firearms to non-licensees must make available for purchase compatible secure gun storage or safety devices.)
Finally, under the bill, an individual may claim a nonrefundable tax credit in the amount of up to $500 (lifetime limit) for expenses paid or incurred for a new safe, gun safe, gun case, lock box, or other device for securely storing firearms.
