Section 25210 Of Chapter 3. Storage Of Firearm Where Child Obtains Access And Carries Firearm Off-premises From California Penal Code >> Division 4. >> Title 4. >> Part 6. >> Chapter 3.
25210
. If a person who allegedly violated Section 25200 is the
parent or guardian of a child who is injured or who dies as the
result of an accidental shooting, the district attorney shall
consider, among other factors, the impact of the injury or death on
the person alleged to have violated Section 25200 when deciding
whether to prosecute the alleged violation. It is the Legislature's
intent that a parent or guardian of a child who is injured or who
dies as the result of an accidental shooting shall be prosecuted only
in those instances in which the parent or guardian behaved in a
grossly negligent manner or where similarly egregious circumstances
exist. This section shall not otherwise restrict, in any manner, the
factors that a district attorney may consider when deciding whether
to prosecute alleged violations of Section 25200.
