MAINE:
“ENDANGERING THE WELFARE OF A CHILD IS A CRIME.
IF YOU LEAVE A FIREARM AND AMMUNITION WITHIN
EASY ACCESS OF A CHILD, YOU MAY BE SUBJECT TO
FINE, IMPRISONMENT OR BOTH. KEEP FIREARMS AND
AMMUNITION SEPARATE. KEEP FIREARMS AND
AMMUNITION LOCKED UP. USE TRIGGER LOCKS.”
MARYLAND:
“WARNING: Children can operate firearms which may cause
death or serious injury. It is a crime to store or leave a loaded
firearm in any location where an individual knew or should have
known that an unsupervised minor would gain access to the fire-
arm. Store your firearm responsibly!”
MASSACHUSETTS:
“WARNING FROM THE MASSACHUSETTS ATTORNEY
GENERAL: This handgun is not equipped with a device that fully
blocks use by unauthorized users. More than 200,000 firearms
like this one are stolen from their owners every year in the United
States. In addition, there are more than a thousand suicides each
year by younger children and teenagers who get access to fire-
arms. Hundreds more die from accidental discharge. It is
likely that many more children sustain serious wounds, or inflict
such wounds accidentally on others. In order to limit the chance
of such misuse, it is imperative that you keep this weapon locked
in a secure place and take other steps necessary to limit the possi-
bility of theft or accident. Failure to take reasonable preventative
steps may result in innocent lives being lost, and in some
circumstances may result in your liability for these deaths.”
