Who is legally responsible for ensuring a firearm is not accessible to unauthorized persons?

The firearm's owner
The person who sold the firearm
The local law enforcement
The manufacturer of the firearm

The correct answer is: The firearm's owner

The owner of the firearm is legally responsible for ensuring that it is not accessible to unauthorized persons. This means that as an owner, it is your responsibility to safely store the firearm and prevent access to it by anyone who is not authorized to use it. The other options are incorrect because - The person who sold the firearm is responsible for conducting a background check and following all legal procedures for the sale, but they are not responsible for the firearm once it is sold. - Local law enforcement may have laws or regulations in place regarding safe storage of firearms, but they are not ultimately responsible for ensuring the firearm is not accessible to unauthorized persons. - The manufacturer of the firearm is responsible for creating a safe and functioning product, but they are not responsible for the actions of the owner after the purchase.
