The San Diego Council this week voted to pass a bill backed by gun control advocates that would require gun owners to lock up their firearms at home.
The Safe Storage of Firearms Ordinance, introduced last month by City Attorney Mara Elliott, passed the Council 6-2 on Monday, setting it up for a final follow-up vote. The move could hand firearm owners found in violation of the regulation as much as six months behind bars and fines topping $1,000.
