Somewhat similar law was just passed in Delaware. Guns have to be locked if minors are present. These must be challenged.
The drive to make criminals out of honest gun owners continues. When you listen to these fascists you realize that it’s not about guns but about hating gun owners.
doesnt the state already make you buy a gun lock and prove ownership of a safe of some kind ¿?
This is so, even if you use a gun to fight off an aggressive intruder, they will arrest you and take your guns, while letting the violent intruder keep his.
The door to my house is locked. My firearms are in the house. Therefore my firearms are locked up.
Is there a phone number to call so one can turn in their parents, grandparents, kids, etc. to the authorities?
Uhm. No thanks.
I'm missing something. At what point can they be unlocked/ enabled; or does this mean that guns can never be used in a "home"?
ML/NJ
The state of CA has a firearms pre-emption law. Only the state of CA may create regulations. The city attorney should tell the council they are out of bounds.
Come on over and try to get into my house to check on my weapons. Might not be pretty if I lived in SD.
Are they coming in to look?
Heller already established that this is unconstitutional. This is exactly what Washington DC had on its books which the Supreme Court struck down.
Self defense is illegal in your own home.
City Councilwoman Jennifer Campbell, a longtime family physician, said she supported the ordinance due to the caliber of weapons currently available to the public and because guns are too easy for children to access in many homes.
***The San Diego City Council voted six to two***
So, with the vote of six people, 1.42 MILLION people lose their right to self defense?
They have made their law, now lets see them enforce it.
“Department of Justice-approved lockbox.”
Rest assured some manufacturer who has ties to the SIX will now make an “approved” lock box, and force gun owners to buy it.
I think something like this is the law in Switzerland. I don’t know about the government approved lockbox but every product sold in CH is pretty much government approved. The gun and the ammo are to be stored separately. Every home with a man in it has a gun.
Big difference: in CH they are allowed (but they don’t in non criminal cases) to storm and search. Doesn’t happen though, maybe it would if the resident committed a crime.
I don’t see this as a huge infringement, but you can set me right if I don’t understand.
Great for self defense!
Have they also passed a law that guarantees criminals will be disarmed?
Who dreams up this stupid crap? I go a 700 pound steel safe. Is that approved?
Here we have a proposal for the "DOJ", by which is apparently meant the federal government or the state since the city doesn't have one, creating an "approved" safe list, which I suppose would be a very, very lucrative list for a safe manufacturer to be on, because if that 60-gun Liberty vault you dropped a couple grand for is not on it, but some politician's relative's tin cracker box company is, you'll be buying that cracker box and at a premium price, and there's really nothing stopping the city from levying an additional "safety tax" on top of that. That heady aroma there is the smell of money.
Naturally they're not going to start kicking doors down (yet) but if the police should be in the house for some other purpose such as a neighbor dropping a dime on you, why, then it's the proverbial "tool to use" to prevent crime. That proposal is for a fine of a thousand dollars and criminal charges resulting in six months in jail. A further proposal is that the firearms be kept in the safe at all times or carried on the person, in which case the owner must have a CCW which he or she can't get in that state anyway. How an owner is supposed to get his firearm from home to a range legally to practice with ammunition he or she also can't buy in that state is not specified.
I have long been an advocate for mandatory prison sentences for politicians who pass blatantly unconstitutional laws and dare anyone to bankrupt himself challenging them in court. That isn't governance, it's tyranny.
