The major reason for "storage" laws seems to be to render guns unusable for defense of self and home.

Cars are NOT a Constitutional right, and kill MANY more people each year than guns, even though there are LESS of them! Does Westchester require all CARS to be locked and stored safely, like in garages? NO??? Why not? Are they gay?

The gun storage laws of Massachusetts and other states have been enacted simply to hobble gun owners, inasmuch as the self-styled “social elite” feels threatened by folks who own firearms. In the final analysis, the owners tend to be self-empowered, while the “elites” want to empower an enormous, Marxist State - in which, naturally, their word is law.

That’s the whole story, plain and simple.

Misread the title at first, thought it said Winchester storage law. First thing that hit my mind was WTH ;^)

[mmercier]

these storage laws are indeed intended to intimidate the law abiding.

anyone who obeys such foolishness is too stupid to own a gun in the first place.

Shoot the perp. Make sure he/she is dead before calling 911, get the lock and put it on the scene while contriving a story of how the perp fumbled around in the dark, giving you time to unlock the weapon and fire on the menacing, advancing intruder. of course, the best solution is to move from the state, taking your tax payments away from the liberal pukes, and living instead in a state with common sense laws.

One note: if you wound a perp, don't make the kill shot from point blank range. Step back about four paces and take careful aim, after propping the perp up into an upright position. Then push the corpse to the floor, face forward.

"It is a balance between the rights of gun owners and the rights of society to ensure that guns are stored responsibly."

Bullpiss! Since when does "society" have rights?

[School of Rational Thought]

Society has a right to safe storage?
