Firearm safety legislation I can support. Safe rebate

Post by Bruenor »

We could use some legislation like this for Ohio. with all the first time gun owners that just bought their pandemic firearms, and probably don't have any place to store them securely, this would be good.

Utah Firearm Safe Rebate

Funding expires June 30, 2020. Submit your application now!

In response to House Bill 17 – Firearm Violence and Suicide Prevention Amendments, the Utah Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health (DSAMH), in conjunction with the Bureau of Criminal Identification (BCI), is offering a limited, one-time rebate for one firearm safe. The rebate is valid for up to 50% of the pre-tax sales amount, not to exceed $100.00.

A firearm safe is defined as:

A gun safe, gun case, lock box, or other device;
Is designed to fully contain one or more firearm;
Has the ability to be securely locked and unlocked by means of a key, combination, or other similar means; and
Excludes glass and/or wooden gun cabinets.


This amendment supports the Utah Suicide Prevention Coalition’s “IS YOUR SAFETY ON?” campaign and its efforts in firearm suicide prevention. Eighty-six percent of firearms deaths in Utah are suicides. Utah ranks fifth in the nation in suicide deaths. Putting time and distance between a person at risk of suicide and a firearm may save a life. Together we can protect our family and friends. For more information on gun safety and suicide prevention, please visit the Utah Suicide Prevention Coalition’s website.
