Michigan's new safe storage law, Engrossed Senate Bill 79 (Public Safety Act 17), primarily applies when a firearm is stored unattended on premises where a minor is known or likely to be present. Compliance requires either storing the firearm in a locked box/container or keeping it unloaded and secured with a locking device. For motor vehicles, both a locked container and locking the vehicle are required. Criminal liability under this law is contingent on a minor accessing the firearm and then possessing or exhibiting it in a public or threatening manner, not merely on improper storage alone.
