Subject: Secure Gun Storage Ordinance
My name is Theresa Delvac and I reside at 3725 Alder St in Santa Ana.
I am a registered voter and I vote in all elections.
I understand that the council is discussing a secure gun storage ordinance. I also
know that no other city in Orange County has such an ordinance. I hope that you
will vote in favor of this ordinance and lead the way for other Orange County cities
to do the same.
Sincerely,
Theresa Delvac
Orozco, Norma

Gun storage laws save lives. Santa Ana should be the first city in OC to pass this law, and close a loophole in
state law.
-More than half of US gun owners do not lock all their firearms
securely.
.Over 70 CA cities either have a secure gun storage law on the books or
are in the process of implementing.
. Santa Ana would lead the way in Orange County on gun safety as no
other OC city has such an ordinance on the books.
-This ordinance would close a loophole in state law.
Currently California has a child access prevention (CAP) law and not
a broader secure storage law. CAP laws are effective for reducing
access for children but don't apply in other instances, leaving
thousands of guns open for unauthorized use by prohibited
purchasers, thieves, and adults in crisis.
.Data shows that firearms owners who safely store their firearms have a
lower risk of firearm suicide and a lower risk of loss by theft.
.Research shows secure storage practices play a vital role in reducing
the risk of gun violence. Storing firearms securely protects children
and adults by preventing unintentional shootings and gun suicides.
