Wrong.Until you need the gun
I keep a handgun unsecured when I’m home.
When I leave home it’s either secured or comes with me.
This isn’t difficult to understand – one can be both a responsible gunowner and maintain personal security.

Wrong.Until you need the gun
Yeah weapons are just lying around everywhere but these delinquents had to break into a person's home to get them.This is just sad. In America in 2021 we now have children shooting at police with the police hoping that they don't have to shoot back.
I understand this. I wouldn't want to shoot a child.
This is America. Weapons everywhere.
Yet we are much less safe.
They were inside a locked home so they were secured.Yes, and they need to be secured.Weapons everywhere.
Every gunowner must take steps to ensure his guns are secured; had that been the case in this situation, this shooting wouldn’t have happened.
Every gunowner must assume his home will be broken into at some point.
My guns are kept in a safe – as an added precaution, the AKs have padlocks through the receiver/mag well; the AR 15s have cable locks through the ejection port/mag well.

If the homeowner had simply locked his firearms up, none of this could have happened.The homeowner isn't at fault for his house being broken into. The "gun owner" had a responsibility to secure his weapons so that anybody in his house, whether a burglar or visiting neighbor, didn't have unfettered access to loaded firearms and ammunition.And if those kids hadn’t ILLEGALLY broken into that house this wouldn’t have happened. You can’t blame the homeowner for these kids breaking and entering.
You wouldn't leave your car unlocked when it's out of sight.
When I had a dog he was kept on a chain to keep him from leaving the back yard and going after the mail man.Grab your loaded and unlocked gun and blow them away. Would you also crate your dog?

Where the fuck..........ARE THEIR PARENTS!????!!!?This is just sad. In America in 2021 we now have children shooting at police with the police hoping that they don't have to shoot back.

Well would you not care that the burglar's had your AK-47 along with your hand guns walking right out of the front door because you didn't have the sense to secure your weapons or house with minimum levels of security that would be appropriate to ensure that hopefully that wouldn't happen ???? Be truthful now.The firearms were locked up. The home was locked. Are you suggesting there is an obligation to lock firearms away from burglars?Did you read the article? These kids weren't armed until they broke into a house that had dozens of unsecured firearms, and readily available ammunition.These kids were raised in bad conditions......but you want to blame guns......600 million guns in private hands, over 19.4 million Americans can carry guns for self defense in public
1.1 million Americans use guns each year to save lives from rape, brutal beatings, robberies and murder...
But two kids raised in horrible situations, the girl apparently had issues and set fires and the boy was in foster care.........but you want to blame guns...
This is why we don't take you seriously.

Agree, but when you leave there, then it's best that your home and weapons are secured.A loaded gun should always be kept on the nightstand by the bed.If the premises aren't secure, I'd say definitely lock them up, and even if the premises are secure, then there's nothing wrong with extra levels of security, especially for weapons and ammo.The firearms were locked up.

As soon as we start making our homes safe for those who break in we deserve to be destroyed as a people.
Your last statement makes no sense, because we should definitely make our homes more secure against break in's. If you are home, then you are that security, but if not then........... I actually can't believe we're having this conversation in some sort of disagreement on.A loaded gun should always be kept on the nightstand by the bed.If the premises aren't secure, I'd say definitely lock them up, and even if the premises are secure, then there's nothing wrong with extra levels of security, especially for weapons and ammo.The firearms were locked up.

How did the 12 year old, and the 14 year old get their hands on the weapons and ammo if they were secure or locked up ??The firearms were locked up. The home was locked.

Guns were secure, good work.To start with, you are carrying your concealed weapon while you are away from the home, so if you return home and it's being robbed, then 1st you contact the law, and you get them on the way while you secure the perimeter. If you surprise the criminal's because you walked in on them, then hopefully you get the drop on them before they get you with your own guns left in an unsafe manor. But if you have your weapons secured, then you have the upper hand if they didn't bring the weapons with them. If you have your home secured, then you have the upper hand again, because hopefully their weaponry won't be as good as what you are carrying on your person. If they get the drop on you, then the the only hope is that the 9-11 call you might have made in the first senario (if you couldn't wait on them before going in) will have the police on the way in order to secure the location again, hopefully save you, and deal with the burglar's before they escape. The second situation is just going to be you and them if they get surprised.This is why even the NRA agrees with guns having trigger locks, being kept in gun safes, and keeping the guns completely separate from the ammunition.Gun owners are amazingly responsible but when criminals break the law, break into homes, it isn't the fault of the home owner.......
None of that was done.
Until you need the gun....you mean except for that...right? When the guy is in your home and you don't have 10 minutes to get to the safe, punch in the code, take out the gun, find the key to the trigger lock, unlock the lock, then go to where you keep the ammo, and, I imagine you want that in a separate safe too.........then load the gun....
The guy, or guys are in your home, likely armed.....but the 30 steps you need to deploy your weapon....I am sure they will wait till you get all the steps done...
Right?
These guns were in a locked house....they broke the law.....
If we let idiots like you set up mandatory storage rules then we will have to eventually store the keys to the gun locks at a police station or gun store and get written permission to access those keys before we can unlock the guns...
Sorry, no thanks.
They broke into a home......this is on them.
I agree.....
But I will never support government mandates on storing your guns in your own home....that leads to draconian rules meant to entrap normal gun owners....not going to support it.
And I had a situation where we came home and the door was open.........we left the door open accidentally as it turned out....I didn't enter, I called the police....they searched the house...I didn't "secure the perimeter," I let them do it...that is how you do it...I also informed them that I had guns in the home........

Happens all the time, but guns and ammo don't need to be part of the haul when they leave the place. Hopefully you will be back in time before they can drill, blast or attempt to enter the safe. If leaving for any length of time, always have a friend check on the place daily until you get back or talk with your local police about keeping a check on the place. Install camera's (they are cheap enough these days), and they will alert you if anyone comes on the property straight to your smart phone. It's a big responsibility owning weapons, and we must do all we can to be responsible owners of anything we have these days.How did the 12 year old, and the 14 year old get their hands on the weapons and ammo if they were secure or locked up ??The firearms were locked up.

I understand your fears of government, because I see it also big time these days, but if these things aren't addressed properly by we the citizen's, then the government that you fear will become a reality, because it's going to use or exploit everything to it's advantage, so if you leave the door open (metaphorically speaking), then the government is going to exploit that open doorway whether you and I like it or not. Most citizen's lock and secure their weapons, so I really don't think that we have an issue on our hands because of this case.Guns were secure, good work.To start with, you are carrying your concealed weapon while you are away from the home, so if you return home and it's being robbed, then 1st you contact the law, and you get them on the way while you secure the perimeter.

Yep....then the criminals broke in and stole them.
What you don't understand is there is no security level that will be acceptable to the anti-gun extremists.......and they want all locks and safes to be mandatory.....barring a lot of people from owning or carrying guns.......and then will come the home inspections to make sure you are following every single "i" and "t" they want you to dot and cross......
Life sentence if you steal guns.....that is how you stop this........but you want to help them make it impossible for normal people to own and carry guns......you think this is a ratinal, legitimate demand....it is not......they want mandatory locks and safes not for safety, but as an impediment to own and carry guns especially for the poor and minorities....it is also racist at its core...
