LITHIA, Fla. — Fish Hawk father Brad Hulett is using the pain he has felt since his son’s death as the driving force behind his quest to change gun storage laws.

Bradley Hulett, 15, was shot and killed at the home of a Tampa police officer after a group of teens got their hands on a loaded weapon.

The officer’s son, who is the teen accused of pulling the trigger, has been charged in Bradley’s death.

Hulett enlisted the support of Hillsborough County Sheriff Chad Chronister, among others, to try and push forward “Bradley’s Law.” The law is a linguistic change to the state’s standing safe storage act, which Hulett says has never been successfully prosecuted.

“It has really tight language up until the point that it doesn’t, and there’s one sentence that gives them the out,” he said.

Hulett is hoping to remove one line from the current statute which would make the law more specific on what exactly it means to store a gun safely.

“I’m a big 2nd Amendment supporter and I can assure you this law would never keep anyone from owning a weapon,” he said. “All we ask is if it’s not on your person, that you put it away.”

Bradley’s Law failed to move forward in Tallahassee this year, but Hulett believes this is just the beginning.

“We just have to come back next year and try again. Until they listen to our voices. If that means I have to go up there and wave a sign or paint my car, whatever I have to do, I’ll do it,” he said. ​
