The Michigan House of Representatives passing legislation last night that would implement safe storage requirements for firearms in order to prevent youth from accessing a firearm.

The bill passing in the Democratic-led House by a 61-to-47 margin -- with five Republicans voting in favor of the bill.

The firearms, under the law, would need to be unloaded and locked with a trigger-locking mechanism or stored within a locked storage container.

If a minor obtains the firearm and the individual didn't comply with the safe storage law, the gun owner could face a misdemeanor charge of up to 93 days in fail or a $500- dollar fine.
