Secure Storage Information Act of 2025

In plain language: 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.
