Among several new laws that will kick in on the first of the year is a new law that will mandate how and where you can legally store your guns.
It prohibits leaving a handgun in an unattended car unless the gun is also inside a locked container made of a hard material on all sides.
If you elect to store your gun inside a container made of a soft material, you will be required to place a locking device on the gun itself.
