Bills attempting to increase gun owners’ responsibilities to report stolen firearms and to keep firearms secure went down in defeat in a House committee Wednesday. Democratic Rep. Linda Duba of Sioux Falls sponsored HB1153 and HB1174. HB1153 would have imposed a reporting requirement if a gun owner lost a gun or it was stolen. HB1174 would have required proper storage of a firearm. Violators would have been fined for committing a petty offense for a violation.
