On Tuesday, the Brentwood City will receive a presentation regarding firearm storage and could provide the Brentwood Police Department with direction on a future ordinance.
According to the agenda, the item was requested by Councilmember Jovita Mendoza after the city received a letter from Moms Demand Action.
The Brentwood Police Department will compare and contrast what guidelines are being requested by Moms Demand Action versus current guidelines and what could be improved.
Captain Doug Silva confirmed Friday that Moms Demand Action is proposing a more restrictive ordinance than state law and that the council is looking for clarifications before taking action.
Within the staff report:
CRIMINAL STORAGE OF FIREARM
Criminal storage of a firearm is covered under California Law (25100 PC):
- (a) first degree: child obtains firearm and causes death or great bodily injury to the child or any other person.
- (b) second degree: child obtains firearm and causes injury, other than great bodily injury, to the child or any other person.
- (c) third degree: a person negligently stores or leaves a firearm in a location where the person knows, or reasonably should know, that a child is likely to gain access to the firearm.
Current Law:
A PERSON CANNOT KEEP A FIREARM INSIDE A RESIDENCE AND NEGLIGENTLY STORE OR LEAVE THE FIREARM IN A LOCATION WHERE THEY KNOW, OR REASONABLY SHOULD KNOW, THAT A CHILD IS LIKELY TO GAIN ACCESS TO THAT FIREARM WITHOUT TAKING REASONABLE ACTION TO SECURE THE FIREARM.
Proposed Safe Storage Ordinance by Moms Demand Action:
ALL FIREARMS KEPT INSIDE A RESIDENCE SHALL BE SECURED IN A LOCKED CONTAINER OR DISABLED WITH A TRIGGER LOCK.
Meeting Details:

When your house gets invaded, just let them fuck your wife . You wouldn’t want to break the law ,would you Gavin?
So? You lock your firearms in a lock container. You hear someone breaking into you house and they are already there. So, you run to where you hear the noise, confront the person(s) and ask them to stay still while you unlock the container, get out your firearm and then the bullets and go after the assailants. Lots of bloody luck to you! You’d already be dead!
Teach your kid NOT to grab guns. Our parents had guns all over the house and not one kid would touch them because they knew those were dangerous. Dad kept some in the fridge and one in the oven when it wasn’t used to bake stuff.
During a home invasion, when 4-5 criminals get into your house, you’re going to have one hell of a time getting to your firearm to protect your family. Maybe at one time, locking your firearms up was OK, but these days are not what they were years ago.
Looks like Brentwood trying to take
” your gun rights ” away. 😏
TEACH GUN SAFETY. Take kids out early and teach them how to safely handle guns and how dangerous they are. Then also keep the guns safe. I learned this way and never had any problems with guns, they are lots of fun to shoot when in a controlled environment, and can responsibly defend my home when needed, and my house has been broken into in the past…….
These MOMS DEMAND ACTION members are actually presenting a dangerous scenario. More people will be hurt or even killed thanks to MOMS! What they should DEMAND is that parents teach their children — ever ve young ones — what firearms are all about. Also about knives, bats and tire irons. We will never lock our guns in any cabinet. Might as well no have any. MOMS need to buy a brain!
Over reach: If they are concerned about children, the children should be taught gun safety. Guns should be respected, but not feared in your home, or others. Safety Education, negates curiosity.
The restriction they are requesting also affects persons with no minors in the house. Stop hiding Bloomberg funded gun control behind “moms” and “children”.
Someone should tell these MOMS that more people have had their lives SAVED by guns than killed by them!

The NRA was formed to make gun user SAFER! When they spread across the US, gun-related deaths dropped considerably. It is the intent of PEOPLE, not the guns, that kill. Has anyone ever heard of an NRA member going on a killing rage? Neither have I.
I think these moms could use some action but it’s not the type of action they are referring to here.
All jokes to the side; why is a national astroturf organization so concerned with storage laws in Brentwood and why is Brentwood concerning itself with what the moms think rather than what it’s residents think?
These “Moms Demand Action” people want more background checks to be applied. Let’s not forget that Sam Cassidy, the shooter who killed 9 VTA people in San Jose, had his background checked and was given the green light to buy guns! That little sick twirp, Adam Lanza, who killed 23 people in Connecticut, had his background checked and was OK’d to buy guns. Maybe these “Moms” should spend more time keeping an eye on their children to make sure they are mentally fit to be released into the world!

OMG, I hate the term “MOM” … why not refer to those who bore you as “MOTHER” … I made sure none of our children ever referred to me as “Mom.”
