Provides that any firearm sold or transferred in the State by a federally licensed firearms dealer or a private seller, including a private transfer through a firearms dealer, shall at the time of the sale or transfer of the firearm include or be accompanied by a firearm safety device. Provides that the Department of State Police shall adopt rules setting forth specific firearm safety devices or the minimum standards to constitute an effective firearm safety device. Defines "firearm safety device" as an integrated design feature or an attachable accessory that is resistant to tampering and is effective in preventing the discharge of a firearm by a person who does not have access to the key, combination, or other safety mechanism used to disengage the device, but does not include the firearm safety, safety catch, or any other safety system that prevents the accidental firing of a firearm.
