Gun owners in the US city of San Jose will soon be required to take out liability insurance against gun injuries or accidents if landmark legislation is given final approval.
It will be the first time anywhere in the US that people will be compelled to purchase coverage for their weapons.
The California town’s city council approved the measure on Tuesday.
But some gun owners argue it would violate their Second Amendment rights.
The decision must be ratified next month at its final reading but is expected to pass.
