New Senate Bill Requires Gun Owners to Carry Liability Insurance

New Senate Bill Would Require Gun Owners to Carry Liability Insurance

By Keith Burbank. Bay City News.

California gun owners may soon have to purchase liability insurance to own a gun.

Last week, two state senators introduced amended legislation to require such insurance for the negligent or accidental discharge of a gun.

Senate Amendment Bill 8 was introduced by Sens. Nancy Skinner, D-Oakland and Catherine Blakespear, D-Encinitas, following mass shootings across the state in January.
