Molly, I believe there is something in the works about firearms and day care in the home. DCFS recently banded firearms in the home of day care providers. Is there any word on the status of this ruling?

 

That's a lawsuit and it could be awhile before it is resolved..

 

So as it stands now.... No firearms in the homes of day care providers?

this is the exemption in the FCCA:

(2) Any building, real property, and parking area
under the control of a pre-school or child care facility, including any room or portion of a building under the control of a pre-school or child care facility. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the operator of a child care facility in a family home from owning or possessing a firearm in the home or license under this Act, if no child under child care at the home is present in the home
or the firearm in the home is stored in a locked container when a child under child care at the home is present in the home.

 

DCFS is choosing to ignore this exemption - hence the lawsuit against them.

The only one I can think of off the top of my head is that lost or stolen firearms must be reported to local law enforcement within 72 hours of the discovery that the firearm is missing. I think it was effective 01/01/2014? It wasn't in original curriculum, I remember adding it in. added

 

Oh, and the penalties for instructors falsifying training documents. (class A misdemeanor) added
Thank you, ma'am!
