That’s the law here in California, a stupid law. Since I have grandchildren around, I have to keep them locked up. I have gun safes that I can quickly open, but it does lose precious seconds if a situation like this happens. Either you break the law, or risk your life.

That law and other unconstitutional “laws” in California is why many people choose to live elsewhere. If you lock your bedroom door so children cannot get to the gun, you don’t have to put it where it can’t be easily reached. And of course deciding whether to break the law or risk your life is a no brainer.
Not good enough in California. Law specifically says the gun must be in a locked container or have a locking device (trigger lock or cable), both DOJ-approved. You can't just lock the bedroom door. If a minor gets ahold of it you can be charged with a misdemeanor or felony depending on circumstances. Sucks.
