Dublin City Council passes new gun storage law

Gun owners in Dublin will soon be required to store their firearms inside a locked container or keep it disabled with a trigger lock while inside their home after the City Council unanimously approved the new ordinance at its meeting last week.

California already has similar laws in effect for guns in households with children living there, or that require a gun owner to store their guns from a household member who is prohibited from having guns.

"What we're doing in this case is just expanding that definition beyond those two scenarios -- children in the home or criminal record -- and applying it to all households," City Manager Linda Smith during a presentation at the Dec. 1 meeting.

Added to the Dublin Municipal Code, the ordinance known as Chapter 5.89 to Title 5, states, "No person shall keep a firearm within any residence unless the firearm is stored in a locked container or disabled with a trigger lock."

Two exceptions were added: when the firearm is lawfully carried on an individual, or when it is under the control of a peace officer.

Didn’t Heller decide that this was unconstitutional 12 years ago? Wasn’t the suit brought because DC had precisely the same stupid requirements?

Yes, I hear from my relatives in the Bay Area that everything is fine and then I read in the papers that real estate values are going down and rents are way down.

Who knows? Who believes anything in the papers? Who reads the papers?

Up next: All Firing Pins must be removed from all Firearms OR may stay installed after they have been machined to shorten the length so that the Firing Pin can’t make contact with the Primer in the Cartridge...

“Gun owners in Dublin will soon be required to store their firearms inside a locked container or keep it disabled with a trigger lock while inside their home after the City Council unanimously approved the new ordinance at its meeting last week.”

Actually, in Europe, it goes one step further there. If you are one of the few gun owners, and you have a gun on your property, you’re subject to no-warning inspections, where the police will simply knock on your door, demand to be let in, and then inspect how your gun is stored.

We have the 4th Amendment to protect against that, for now. Although, of course if SOME PEOPLE here get their way here and hand Georgia to the Democrats (in the Senate elections next month), the 4th Amendment, along with the 2nd Amendment, will be gone, thanks to their packed courts. But that’s all ok, since we need to ‘teach the GOP a lesson’. Right?

Then there is no point to own a firearm. More of the same from the Communist control freaks running CA.

We have similar laws in the People's Republic of Maryland. I have an RFID safe on my night stand to quickly get my gun. The RFID chip's attached to my cell phone; bring it near the clock display and the door pops open.

If they pass laws where I got to put it in a container, or do anything to it that’s dictated by deranged leftist screw worms, I’m moving.

Are any of y'all's relatives actually trying to sell their homes? You know they're not gonna lower property valuations for taxing, so do they have any other practical experience with what the values actually are? If they're just living there, staying there, the only property valuation you'll really see is for property taxes, which is not really reflective of actual sale prices very often.

I don’t know if they’re trying to sell their homes. Since the election fraud they have been pretty uncommunicative. Maybe they’re embarrassed that their team had to resort to massive cheating.
