I break all trigger locks with a hammer, so they can't be forced on anybody later. I toyed with the idea of sending them to Ol' Bill The Rat when he was pres, but decided against it.
The story is not true, but it very well could be. This is the result of another one those ridiculous laws that everyone knows could be lethal if followed and just pisses people off.
What the law does is prove you didn't follow it - If you shoot the perp, you couldn't have follow the law and they can take all your collectible valuable firearms for themselves.
Such is The Law.
