Synopsis of Bill as introduced:
        Amends the  Criminal  Code  of  1961.   Creates  the  offense  of      
   unlawful  storage  of  a  firearm.   Prohibits a person from keeping a      
   loaded firearm within any premises or vehicle that is under his or her      
   control and he or she knows or reasonably should  know  that  a  child      
   under  18  is  likely to be able to gain access to the firearm without      
   the lawful permission of the child's parent, legal guardian  or  other      
   person  having custody of the child, and the child gains access to the      
   firearm and possesses, uses, or exhibits it either in a  public  place      
   or  in  a  negligent,  suicidal,  threatening,  or  assaultive manner.      
   Establishes various  affirmative  defenses.   Penalty  is  a  Class  B      
   misdemeanor for a first offense and a Class A misdemeanor for a second      
   or  subsequent offense.  Requires the commercial seller of firearms to      
   deliver a written warning to the purchaser that  it  is  unlawful  and      
   punishable  by imprisonment and fine, for a person to store or leave a      
   firearm in a place within the reach or easy access of a minor under 18      
   years of age.
