At gun safety events, 40% of gun owners reported not locking all household guns
- mindcrime 7y agoI love how these articles, with their oh-so-obvious bias against guns and gun-owners, always try to spin things by using (pun partially intended) loaded terms like "loaded gun" like that's some kind of big deal. Look, an unloaded gun is basically a useless gun from a DGU standpoint. What am I going to do with that, bludgeon a home invader to death with it? If I'm going to keep a gun (and I do) I am going to keep it loaded (and I do). Duh. As for being locked... I do keep my gun unlocked, BUT I live alone, with no kids or anybody around who would be likely to mess with my gun while I'm not around. And given that a home invader isn't going to accept my polite request to "hang on a minute while I retrieve and unlock my gun", it's going to stay that way. If/when I should ever have children in the home, I'll revisit this and take the appropriate precautions.
