In response to Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft's inquiry regarding San Jose, Councilmember Oddie responded San Jose would like to impose a rule that additional liability insurance must be obtained if someone wishes to own a gun; stated the strict liability item relates to a gun previously owned and not reported lost or stolen, being used in a crime, the owner would be liable for damages. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft inquired what the liability insurance is meant to prevent. Councilmember Oddie responded the possibility of financial penalty would cause gun owners to be more careful with storage; the goal is to not move ahead of San Jose's efforts, but to see the effects; expressed support for adding reaching out to the School District for potential partnership opportunities as part of the motion. Vice Mayor Knox White agreed to amend the motion to add School District partnerships. Mayor Ezzy Ashcraft stated webinars and videos can be reviewed for educational programs.
