I’m missing why this is a controversy. If a firearm isn’t on your person, which is where it should be, then of course it should be locked up. I don’t see anything in what this guy has said that runs contrary to that. A gun that is hidden a floor away from you is useless to you if you need it. But it is a potential risk to kids, idiots, and criminals.
None of my guns are locked up. They’re all in accessible places around the home and loaded. I’ll shift them if there’s kids coming, idiots just plain aren’t allowed, and they’re supposed to be a risk to criminals.
Huh? It should be where it's handy.
