San Jose, California, has approved a new measure that would require gun owners in the city to purchase liability insurance for their weapons, the first of its kind.
The city council in San Jose, California, has approved a new measure that would require gun owners in the city to purchase liability insurance for their weapons.
Liccardo also claimed that although the ordinance won’t stop mass shootings and violent crime, it may help in other ways, like preventing deadly accidents and suicides. A gun owner who doesn’t have insurance will be subjected to a fine from the city and possible forfeiture of their gun. If a weapon is lost or stolen, the gun owner must still pay insurance until they notify police about their weapon being missing.
