Section 25120 Of Chapter 2. Criminal Storage Of Firearm From California Penal Code >> Division 4. >> Title 4. >> Part 6. >> Chapter 2.
25120
. (a) If a person who allegedly violated Section 25100 is the
parent or guardian of a child who was injured or who died as the
result of an accidental shooting, no arrest of the person for the
alleged violation of Section 25100 shall occur until at least seven
days after the date upon which the accidental shooting occurred.
(b) In addition to the limitation stated in subdivision (a),
before arresting a person for a violation of Section 25100, a law
enforcement officer shall consider the health status of a child who
suffered great bodily injury as the result of an accidental shooting,
if the person to be arrested is the parent or guardian of the
injured child. The intent of this section is to encourage law
enforcement officials to delay the arrest of a parent or guardian of
a seriously injured child while the child remains on life-support
equipment or is in a similarly critical medical condition.
