Federal Law Enforcement and Public Protection Act

This bill would require the head of every civilian and military federal law enforcement agency to set rules for safely locking and storing service firearms when they are not in use, and to provide the equipment needed to follow those rules, subject to available funding. The rules must include minimum standards, such as using locks, safes, or other approved means, and limits on leaving service guns in patrol or personal vehicles. Violations would be grounds for discipline. Agencies would also have to report lost or stolen service firearms to state and local police, the ATF, and the FBI, train people who assist them in safe storage, and give officers written materials about the risks of keeping a firearm at home.
