By the way, is there any law on the books that says I even have to own gun locks or a gun safe? I don’t own any such items. My gun is worthless in a safe. It’s doing quite well on the night stand by my bed, it’s been there for several years now and still hasn’t shot anybody.
Some states have “safe storage laws”.
I am shopping for a safe, I prefer one with a mechanical lock for several reasons. The clerk told me if a needed a gun in a hurry the electronic locks were much faster, I told him the one I would need in a hurry wouldn’t be in the safe.
In some states, you are required to have a gun lock with you when you take a newly purchased firearm home. That doesn't mean you have to use the silly thing if it does not fit with your household situation, but you have to own (or borrow) it.
