Does Nebraska have a law requiring firearms to be stored securely to prevent access by minors?

Yes, it is mandated by state law
No, but it is recommended
Yes, but only for loaded firearms
Yes, and failure to do so is a criminal offense

The correct answer is: Yes, it is mandated by state law

Nebraska does have a law requiring firearms to be stored securely to prevent access by minors, making option A the correct answer. The law states that any person who owns or possesses a handgun and resides with a minor under 18 years old must keep the firearm locked and unloaded or in a locked container. This law is in place to ensure the safety of children and prevent tragic accidents from occurring. Option B is incorrect because it suggests that storing firearms securely is a mere recommendation rather than a legal requirement. Option C is incorrect because the law applies to all firearms, not just loaded ones. Option D is incorrect because while it is true that failure to store firearms securely can result in criminal charges if a minor gains access to the firearm and causes harm, this is not the only consequence of violating the law.
