San Jose residents who own guns will have to carry firearm liability insurance at the start of the new year.
The ordinance, which is the first of its kind in the U.S., will work much like auto insurance, requiring gun owners to provide proof of gun liability insurance upon request.
That coverage would be used to compensate the victims of unintentional shootings for medical, funeral or other costs associated with the shooting. According to data shared by the city, negligent and reckless firearm use has caused an average of 42 percent of people who were treated for gunshot wounds in San Jose emergency departments.
