6 Reasons Safe Gun Storage Laws Are Bad
Vložit
- čas přidán 1. 06. 2024
- Minnesota and States across the country have passed and/or are trying to pass so-called Safe Gun Storage laws.
These are laws that mandate where you place your guns in your home or car when the gun is not in your possession.
First, I am huge when it comes to gun safety and training.
If you don't store your guns safely for your situation, you're an idiot. If you don't have some level of basic training to learn how to use your gun safely, you need to go get some.
At the same time, safe gun storage laws are stupid, and here are six reasons why.

When we hear "safe storage laws" what we really hear is "Make our criminal supporters safer while they conduct illegal activity upon you and your family".
Will we be better off, I wonder, if "we" become more like our "european cousins"; and declare criminal enterprises like burglary/home invasion to be "legitimate" occupations? Mind you, this includes being told what you can do with your own property, in case you make those criminals less safe as they pursue their jobs.
"And your Businesses".
I carry concealed in California and I don't even have a permit. The way I see it I will get more punishment for using my CCW in self defense than I would just carrying illegaly.
@@col.cottonhill6655 odds are, that is correct. There was an example not too long ago about a man coming home from the gym in California holding a beverage cup, his phone, house keys, his CCW permit, and his personal handgun. As he was trying to enter his home late at night when his wife and baby were asleep, two masked & agile robbers attempt to hop over the private fence and sneak up to the unsuspecting homeowner and rob him at gunpoint. Consequently, the startled man stuns the first criminal and stands his ground firing at both shady individuals. They both scattered away and fired back at the same time. Meanwhile, no casualties ensued.
Some days later, the California District Attorney requests the local PD to revoke the man's CCW permit while used ON HIS OWN PRIVATE PROPERTY.
@@col.cottonhill6655 doesn't it even make sense.If you use it in a self-defense, you will get an illegal weapon charge on top on what you would have also gotten had your weapon be legal.
“Hold on robber, let me run down stairs to unlock my safe” …
Yes defeats the purpose
While yout down there can you get me a drink please
But the robber will need to go unlock his gun, too! So it's kinda a fair fight 😂
@@frederickvalencia4976 right
@@ledzeppelin1212 🤣
My whole house is a locked gun safe that I sleep and cook in
This is absolutely legit.
In that case, this law would probably require you to store your ammunition in a completely separate house.
Yeah, I think it's bullshit too.
That's a good way to put it.
Nailed it.
People have been killed "with" guns, but not "by" guns. No gun ever acted with malicious intent.
I don't know mine have gone to the bar and tried to start trouble now thier in the corner thinking about what they did wrong lol (A little Sarcasum)
There is absolutely no such thing as GUN violence. What it is, and what it MUST be called, is CRIMINAL VIOLENCE.
It's like saying my fork made me overweight
Nobody needs to know whats in your home or how you handle it.
As a Minnesotan, i do not comply. Period.
Don't comply to stupidity.
Maybe don’t proclaim this on the internet
Never comply. Not with that crap
@@UrNotThatGuyPal we all know the FBI has done warrant requests for youtube for people who watch a specific video.
whos to say Minnesotan detectives can do the same? This comment alone is probable cause, and now that google is known to give up this info they will know who PatrickJames9mm is. They will get a search warrant for his home. Confirm hes not complying and theres the court case...
its sickening that this is our society now. Ppl kept saying "were not coming for your guns! relax!"
now look.
and the ones saying "come try and take my guns!" buddy, you wouldn't even be home when they come for your guns...
Not in Michigan either.
Responsible gun owners prioritize safety and education without the need for government intervention.
We also have a document entitled “U.S. Constitution” that is supposed to prevent government from violating our civil rights.
A1S8 of the Constitution gives Congress express authority over training and disciplining the militia, which includes the unorganized militia. So yes, the government can indeed step in and not blindly assume every gun owner is well trained. Bc there is no reason to think that’s the case.
It’s for saftey that’s it not intervention.
Well said.
@@AZTECH_AZ How so? Perhaps a way to really drive home such a point or claim, would be to cite the percentages of gun owners who prioritize safety, education, training, responsibility, etc. I can certainly say in my experience as a gun owner, veteran, and ex law enforcement, that most owners I know, do not.
My grown children and my grandchildren were raised around guns and taught very young age about Consequences if you touched a gun of mine without permission. All of them know how to properly handle a vast variety of firearms and how to use them safely.
Key to all of this is the word
Consequences! Punish the ones breaking the law, leave the lawful alone.
Why would any sane person not understand that access to self defense is a CRITICAL matter.
Because none of those people are or ever have been in danger. They only see any of this from the outside.
They want you dead.
Totally agree buddy even if you are at home sitting in your recliner facing the door they come through with ur g19 on go you are still at a disadvantage they are the ones who get to call the shots. But yeah make us at even more of a disadvantage cause too many are taken the asphalt temperature challenge as John always says. I swear the politicians are just throwing shit at the wall to see if sticks! They don’t sit for a minute and play out scenarios of how this will only increase good people to end up in prison or dead.
4th word.....
@@bradhertzler4451 YEP
I totally agree. Unconstitutional government overreach.
Colion, you need to run for Congress and educate those lefties and anti-gun ranks.
Thankfully, my IWB holster identifies as a safe.
My firearms are always in what I call a "ready and safe" condition. In my home, there is no other option. We will not be "infringed."
Exactly you wouldnt lock up your fire extinguishers✌
Here also!
@@stripedassape8148 on the fire extinguishers, I removed the original safety wire and replaced it with a basic twist tie, and wrapped it light enough so that anyone in my home can pull it without any struggle- explained it to everyone and tested them. They've also been trained how to use it and drilled on egress while blindfolded. We live 2 hours from the nearest fire and police response.... we're as serious about protecting ourselves from fires as we are about foes, in whatever form they arrive. For sure.
wait, they said "if it's not being used"...🤔we are always using "them" to stay safe in this house. the word "used" needs to be defined.
Enjoy your freedoms. Here in Queensland, Australia, if the police turn up to do a “random inspection of storage facilities” (which you must let them enter and do), and they find a loaded firearm lying around (or even just a gun in the open), you WILL have your guns taken, your license cancelled, and you’ll be off to court to see what penalty you get. This very thing happened to a workmate of mine. Police entered and found an unloaded shotgun leaning behind the door. I think he’s still going through legal hassles trying to get his license and guns back.
A safe person is safe with his gun. Not locking my guns away.
I live by myself and keep everything I own in a safe. I keep my EDC with me when I’m home and my safe unlocked. I just lock it up when I leave with my EDC so I guess I have a fairly easy routine.
I have an RFID-enabled safe for my home defense gun.
@@Leitis_Fella Not me it takes precious seconds to open them, seconds that may be the difference between life and death
Nor am I not going to tell on here where mine are but they are out of sight and there is no place you can go in my home that there is not a hidden weapon within ten to twenty feet.
I agree. My home, my person, and my vehicle are safe storage areas. A person would have to commit felonies to enter those areas and remove a firearm.
Gotta make sure any unused car is locked inside a garage, with an additional steering wheel lock, and all the fuel removed and stored in a separate locked garage away from the garage the car is locked in.
100% agree here...I live alone and there are never any kids in my house, so how I store any of my stuff is nobody's business
I'm the 3rd type gun owner you talked about. My kids have been around guns and shooting since they were 7. They are now 20, 20, and 15 years old. No incident has ever happened.
My dad taught me young too, and took me out to the range as often as possible. We also had a family friend and he made it a point to acquaint me with him and encouraged frequent communication between the 2 of us. Nothing like exposure and a nice 2A village 🍻
Same here. We grew up with guns, most of sitting inside my Dad's glass-front gun cabinet in their room, but the shotgun hung over the back door 24/7. Dad was out of town during the week all the time because of his job, so he wanted Mom to be able to defend the home without him there. We all learned what to and what not to do. Us "kids" are all in our sixties now, my sons are in their mid-forties and my grandchildren almost in junior high (their biological Dad is a cop and their step-Dad is my son, he's an Army vet) and we've nary had a single gun incident. Kids learn just like they learn not to touch the hot stove or play in the highway--you teach them.
You're a great father.
Good for you. I taught my son at age 4
You got lucky is all. Just cause you never shat your pants mid meeting doesn't mean it doesnt happen
1. when i need it it will be locked up, and in a crisis humans have HORRIBLE troubles with simple tasks and especially complex movement. this rule would kill me in many scenarios.
That's the point, duh.
@@Mere-Lachaiselongue Yes.
that's the point. that's the Catch 22.
When are they going to make laws that effect criminals...instead of making laws against law-abiding citizens?
How about enforcing laws already on the books with stiffer penalties? This revolving door of catch and release is ridiculous. Cashless bail, low or no bond hearings that are a joke... I have a couple Chicago cop friends that couldn't be more frustrated. They have told me that they know who will have a gun 80% of the time, say in a traffic accident or routine traffic stop, because they've arrested that person 4-7 times before for possession. They're back on the street in as little as 8hrs.
+1
These laws, like so many others, are not about safety. Their intended purpose is to make owning, possessing and buying a gun more difficult.
Lol how are they gonna enforce this? Cops gonna randomly inspect your guns?
I was just thinking that. Do they think that this will allow them to just waltz into your house ,that will be a violation of the constitution. Of course these people believe the constitution doesn't apply to them, they are above following the constitution.
Of course, my reply was removed. Sorry to offend the overlords
There is no legal enforcement of this law without violating the 4th amendment.
That will be the next bill
I’m afraid that just won’t do… I don’t see judges, handing out hundreds of millions of search warrants…
It’s not the “anti-gun lobby,” it’s the anti self defense lobby!!
I agree. To amplify…It’s the, “I’m smarter and superior to you; therefore, I will decide what’s best for every aspect of your life” syndrome. The elitist who think we’re too stupid to manage our own life. Old as time. Kings and dictators have been doing it for millennia. We’re just dealing with the current version during our lifetime. The question is, what are we going to leave to our descendants?
It's the same picture.
@@sax5055 This is nonsense, they just pretend they're this kind of people so they fool most, and those then think they're smarter. If they truly were smart instead of just pretending, they would fully support 2A.
They're actually the anti-constitution lobby.
@@NotEvenDeathCanSaveU it’s not the same as far as framing our arguments goes
That should be the responsibility of the owner of the home, not the government.
I drive a pre-emissions car. I burn a pre-emissions woodstove. I have a natural gas range. I have mini-blinds with strings. My lawn mower has zero safety devices. My guns are where I want them. I'm an outlaw, on a steel horse I ride and I'm wanted, waaannnteeed... dead or alive.
Lookin for a Brat myself.. to match my el camino. If i want it computerized or updated ill build and program that myself... In a faraday case. The moment i heard a car talk or try to connect to my phone it made my hair stand on end. Then i had a rental try to lane correct me into a concrete barracade while needing to make an emergency move.. nearly missed it and had to use a trucks blindspot to barely avoid being a monster jam repica. Fk. That. Dont want a car thinkin its smarter than me and most drivers are pss poor enough without crutches lettin em scroll on their phones.
Do you tell yourself that story to make you feel better? Its okay, fantasies are a healthy part of a balanced life
You probably got them metal gas cans too right? Ride on brother
You're an outlaw that spews stanky unfiltered particles from the ass end of your vehicle, and no safety measures on your lawn mower, how intelligent.
@@PK-pp3lu My Nova has a PCV valve and proper tune. Safety devices are for chowderheads.
I was raised in a house with firearm within arm's reach of every door. Yes loaded and ready to lay down hate. I never touched them. My little sister never touched them nor did any of our friends. We were taught that guns weren't toys and that our asses would get beat smooth off if we were ever caught messing with one.
Then we were taught why once we were old enough to "put 2 and 2 together." Unfortunately, nowadays you have adults who still can't do that.
My home is the same way. You come through the door uninvited you're leaving in a bag. Or bags if it's the 10ga I get to. The house opposite the door it covers is stone so I don't have to worry about the neighbors.
My sons were raised the same way. Like Ole "Hoot" says. My index finger is my safety.
Stay Safe, love your children keep your guns clean powder dry, and your booger hook off the bang switch til it's time to SEND IT.
GOD Bless
God bless Norm “hoot” Hooten. 1st SFOD-D. Never shall I fail my comrades……
Roger that.
❤
I was raised in a similar household. That’s why there’s a cannon mounted to the top of the stairs loaded with grapeshot. 😅
I was raised the same way. It has been the best constant in my life, paid off twice. Who ever made this law is the stupidest person ever born, to say the least.
Useless? Yes! Government overreach? DEFINITELY!!!!
F... safe storage laws, I will take care of my own thank you !
If you can teach a child not to touch a hot stove. You can teach them not to touch a firearm. It's that simple ...
We need to push back, Can we have someone propose a bill that mandates Gun ownership?
I like the direction 👍 Maybe even having purchasing a gun safe is allowed to be a tax write-off or something.
We do NOT want nor need government mandates. If you required gun ownership, what about the person who adamantly does not want one, which is their right? Forcing someone to own a gun who doesn’t want it *could* make them and those around them less safe because they’re less likely to get the training and knowledge needed to be safe with it. And mandates like for “safe” storage has the potential to get the gun owner killed. Neither type of mandate makes anyone safer. So my anti-mandate stance goes both for pro-2A and anti-2A mandates. Just keep the government out of my business. Period!
@bananafoneable
It's already been done. Look up Kennesaw, Georgia.
It's been done. Oddly, it hasn't resulted in any more crime (or much less, but there hadn't been much) but - equally oddly - it hasn't been forwarded anywhere else of which I'm aware.
@@mte874Incentives, I can get with, but the last 3 years caused the word "mandate" to leave a bad taste in my mouth!
The reality is that it’s never been about guns, it’s always been about our right to self defense. This being the most effective (necessary in today’s world) means of self defense. I cannot overstate the importance of proper framing.
They want us def enseless altogether… If we defend the gun itself, we lose. If we make a moral case for our right to preserve our lives and force them into defending the immoral position of actively putting our family’s wellbeing at risk, we win
Here in Sweden ur not allowed to defend urself either as you will get fined and most likely sent to jail and then prison.
@@Mere-Lachaiselongueright. And it’s not about the gun. They will pers ecute you if you push the wrong person off of you and they fall and break their arm or something
The main reason behind the second amendment is to defend ourselves against a corrupt government, and well, after the recent TFA raid that left airport executive, Bryan Keith Malinowski, dead, it's looking more and more like our guns will be useless if the government decides to want to finally go all in.
More than half of all gun deaths in America are suicides. Research shows that suicide is most often an impulse decision, and anything that delays the carrying out of that decision will allow the person to come to their senses and realize that they should not harm themself. Men successfully commit suicide more often than women even though women attempt suicide more often. This is primarily because men choose more immediately lethal methods to commit the act, such as shooting oneself. Over half of all suicide deaths in America are by firearm. This is again because it's pretty hard to survive a gunshot wound to the head, whereas other methods the person can survive long enough to receive medical care. If the gun is locked in a safe, if the ammo is stored separately, these delays to access are long enough to cause a person to stop their attempt. This is the same reasoning behind mandatory waiting periods and people committing impulse crime of passion murders with guns.
These laws factually lead to less deaths. The next thing to consider is that not everyone has the same priorities. For some people, guns are their big issue when they vote. For some, it's abortion, others it could be immigration or the economy and on and on. So if some people are not huge on gun ownership or don't experience much violent crime, they can very easily choose to support this kind of legislation on gun control over free access.
You cannot have a civil discourse with people and effectively govern a country when you do not even understand why they hold a certain belief. Perpetuating this idea that gun control is a conspiracy to enslave the populace rather than different people just having different priorities and voting based on those priorities is a prime example of why America is so divisive and dysfunctional today. Your political opponents are rational human beings just like you, they just have different viewpoints and priorities. They are not conspiracy theory cartoon villains.
also remember that the police legally have no obligation to protect you as an individual citizen in the absence of some kind of special relationship. this was first decided in the 1855 SCOTUS case South v. Maryland, and it was reaffirmed numerous times, with the three other most notable cases being warren v. District of Columbia (DC court of appeals, 1981), which actually involved a home invasion scenario, town of castlerock v. Gonzales (SCOTUS, 2005) which involved police enforcement of restraining orders and established precedent used in this next case, and Lozito v. New York City (supreme court of New York, 2013) which involved a victim of the 2012 new york subway stabbing spree.
Using the GC safe storage laws this is the scenario. (1) Someone is at my door threatening to kick my door in, (2) go to my gun storage safe, (3) open my unloaded firearm safe, (4) remove my unloaded firearm from safe, (5) proceed to my ammunition safe, (6) open my ammunition safe, (7) retrieve my magazine, speed loader, etc, (8) proceed to load firearm and chamber a round in the firearm. (9) You are now ready to protect the lives of you or your loved ones. Does all of these steps make sense when seconds count? HECK NO! It would take too long!
Safe storage, I'm all for it. Mandated safe storage, nah.
As a Minnesotan, this hits home. Becoming more New York and Cali by the day, sad. Oh yeah, will NOT comply.

The states are going to sue.
“Safe storage” means ensuring everyone in your home understands firearm safety. The gun is no more dangerous than any number of household items, you teach your kids how to use the stove safely you do the same thing with firearms.
Never know when it could grow a brain, arms, and legs!
-Liberal logic.
Safe storage laws are against the 4th amendment as well. Cops just cant search your home because you are exercising their rights. So I am completely against them. Now that being said, I haven no children, but if my 4 year old niece were to ever visit, she's very well behaved, so I doubt anything would happen. My guns are in hidden spots out of her reach. However, depending on how long she would be over, I would teach her very basic firearm safety. I would just say "this is a gun. It is not a toy. You ALWAYS treat a gun as if it is loaded, until you have made sure it is unloaded. Even then, you never point a gun at someone or something that you are not willing to destroy."
the BEST firearms education I got was in Army Basic Training when we were taught that "you are responsible" for the securing your firearm and if you don't, the enemy can and WILL use it against you. Penalties in Basic Training for when your Drill Sergeant confiscates your firearm because you walked away from it because of chow time are severe.... 😳
Drill Sergeant will dust you off flutter kicks and everything else under the sun.(Fort Sill,Ok)
@@randy4216 Fort Sill is where I did basic and after 36 of being away, I came back to live at Lawton/Fort Sill 🪖
Might as well be a paper weight. Teach your children well
Without a warrant, how are they going to check and see who is following this travesty of the 2nd ammendment?
When you use it in a self-defense situation, it will automatically tell the police that it was loaded.
@@lhistoireenvideo5877 Your word against theirs. They have no way of knowing if you had it loaded or not...
In states with "safe storage laws", cops will show up for a domestic disturbance or bring a knucklehead preteen home. The adults allow the cops in, and if a gun is observed, they arrest the adult. It has happened before.
How are you going to enforce it without violating the bill of rights ?
When you use in a self-defense situation, you will have to explain to the police how it was loaded for you to use in the 1st place.
Thank to your CZcams and along with some co workers, i recently got my Texas LTC. A year ago i was anti 2A. Guns are absolutely safe in the right hands. Love carrying now ( hope i never have to use tho )
Blessings to you! Especially living in the greatest state in the country, Texas!
From, another 2A endorser from the demoRAT state of Minnesota.
Welcome, neighbor, from the great state of Oklahoma, just across the river!
It is afe to say nobody even hopes to be in a situation requiring the use of a firearm. Just like nobody wants to be in an auto accident or have their house burn down just because they have an insurance policy.
@@herbwalters1958 perfect example thank you

@@Doxymeister spot on
They are also an infringement
How would they even know? What are they going to do? Go into everyone’s home with no warrant to check everyone’s firearms?
Simple one word. NO
It should be taught in school like "stop, drop and roll" or CPR. Dealing with dangerous situations should not be something to be ignorant about.
Good points Colion. As to parents with kids, the Crumbley trials teach us a lesson: if your kid has mental issues, better keep your guns locked up.
Completely agree with you. It is NO ONE's business what goes on in my home. My children ( youngest is now 36) were taught gun safety from the time they were toddlers. My grandkids have had the same education.
Useless Law.
Shouldn’t all cars be stored in a garage with a security system so nobody could steal it and commit a crime.
My kids are grown and have long since moved away. My carry pistol is either on my belt or my nightstand. I also keep an AR ready to go when home. There was a time I thought keeping a rifle at the ready was a bit much, but not anymore. Last I checked I pay the bills I make the rules its my house.
Imagine thinking that your own self defense is someone else’s responsibility. Imagine a politician surrounded by armed security telling you that you don’t need a firearm. Imagine being so easily manipulated that you think it’s a good idea to give up 1 AND 2A. IMAGINE VOTING BLUE.
Exactly. If the gun is in a locked home or car, it's securely stored. Having a safe is just extra.
This boils down to; 'Hinder/discourage law abiding gun owners and protecting our criminal constituency.' Funny how they're so protective of criminals and so happy to divert the consequences of criminal actions on to someone other than the criminal who is actually the one committing the crime. Almost like it's criminals writing the laws.
Do not comply people
No one should be able to tell another where they can store their property on their property.
Safe storage lockers require multiple ways of opening it. Batteries can wear out causing fingerprint readers to be inoperable. The best are with keys - combinations & fingerprint readers. Hornady gun safes have a remote APP opener.
I wanna hear just how they plan to verify if anyone would be actually following these "safe storage laws." That part problem will concern me more than the actual law. They must have some way they plan to circumvent the 4th amendment to enforce compliance.
Education, not legislation and a good moral compass
Now they’re creeping into your **house** through the mail slot w laws?!!! I don’t even OWN one (yet) and this has me SEETHING. 😖
Minnesota guy here, no kids around, 2 German Shepherds outside and a Terrier inside. I do not need my guns in one safe and my ammo in another. Crazy stuff, I don't want my guns stolen so most are locked in heavy safes bolted to floor and walls. I rarely leave home for more than an hour and when I do there is another adult here, WHY do I need to be told how to store my self defense...
Will I someday have to conceal carry with a trigger lock on my pistol?🤔🤣🤣
Don’t give the demorats any ideas
It's not safe if you need to use it!
I live in Minnesota. I am really tired of the democratic stranglehold on state government, and will be moving away as soon as I retire from my working life. The house speakers assurance that she doesn’t want to take our guns away is ridiculous. But criminalizing an otherwise legal behavior will work just as well in their view.
love that you actually provide proof as to why you think the way you do personally using events that actually happened makes it really hard to discredit you even though one would be a fool to attempt to
Nobody's business how guns are kept in their home.
I have lived in Minnesota all of my life. The legislature passed a child endangerment law 25 plus years ago here that gun shops had to post for customers to see. They passed the universal background check here last year. They are tightening the noose and these laws do not affect criminals. Thanks for your diligence. I'm sharing with everyone I know.
I told a CPL instructor I don't trust those thumbprint safes. He said they're just as quick to get to in an emergency. As he demonstrated... it didn't work.
For all these lawmakers and politicians, when will they learn criminals don't follow laws.
No to safe storage laws
I hearby deam ALL my weapons "in use" constantly, at ALL the times.
"Armed in being"
"In use of deterrence"
My bed room identifies as a gun room 😂😂😂
I agree with you completely. The only way for them to be able to enforce this is to have records of who owns firearms and be able to illegally enter your home whenever they feel like it to ensure that you are complying.
I’m 100% for safe store. But no laws should mandate it. F the government
Then there’s the other part of this. They are selling safes all over the place that don’t even work. Unless you’re spending enough money, you’re going to get a faulty safe. It’s a joke. Everything is a joke, everything is broken.
I tried I don’t know how many safes that failed right out of the box or within a few months from biometrics to keys to passcodes I’ve tried it all. But I suppose you can’t buy much of anything that is budget these days and have it work or work for long.
They shouldn’t be allowed to sell safes that don’t work; It defeats the purpose.
My cousin in AZ has a giant safe that has an electronic key pad to unlock it. In 5 yrs, it has failed twice. Once for the battery dying, and once the thing just wouldn't accept his code. Each time a tech from the company had to be called out. There was no charge because it has a 10 yr warranty, but he said to me, "Imagine of I had every single arm I own locked up in that thing when it failed? Then what?"
@@adamtrombino106yes well that wouldnt be good either 😂 but doesn’t really make it any better
How are they going to enforce it if it passes? Go door to door with a warrant? What judge would sign off on said warrant?
We have these same laws in New Zealand, and you're required to pass regular inspections of your gun storage to make sure you're following the law. To even get a gun license, you need to pass a gun storage inspection. So you need to have some form of safe gun storage *before you can even buy a gun,* increasing the buy-in cost to even be allowed to get a gun.
Keeping in mind we're not even allowed to use a gun for self defense because of "reasonable force" caveats in our self defense laws, but regardless... Better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
Sup dude
This will just increase crime and make it almost impossible to get the gun when someone breaks in. How do they plan to enforce it anyways? They can’t just come into your house to see if you have it “safely” stored.
Realistically how does this directly increase crime? Correlation does not equal causation and even then, there’s no way to actually prove that it increased crime. Crime theory is so nuanced, it’s ignorant of people to make these generalizations. If anything it only affects the gun owners, a criminal has no incentive to commit crime more because people were told to lock their guns up at home. Most people that own guns made their own decision to get one, and reading all these comments all those gun owners are still making their own decision to not lock up their guns for their own safety as to why they got a firearm in the first place. If anything, criminals are in for a rude awakening thinking citizens are gonna lock up their guns because of a law that can’t be constitutionally enforced.
@@jaytypeshi What I mean is it will be easier for criminals to take advantage over gun owners when the guns have to be locked up. I think hidden storage is better than locked up storage. Hidden storage can have quick access but be hard for random people to locate.
We got them here in Washington too, no big surprise. Thankfully, our sheriff in our county outright stated that they're not going to enforce this bit of Seattle's horseshit. Thank god too, as either this would of been a massive 4th amendment violation, or what I like to call a 'tack on' charge, where they only exist to stack on more penalties for an unrelated crime.
When I was a kid I knew where my Dad's unlocked rifle was and where his unlocked police service revolver was, and never messed with them because I was taught better. He and my grandfather taught me how to shoot and respect guns.
Well put! Now send this to government officials and let them debate this!!
Totally agree with each of your arguments AGAISNT 'safe storage laws'. All gun owners should practice safe storage. But we DO NOT need the government involved.
You've made very solid points for why it's sensible to be opposed to these draconian measures. That said, there are two safe storage laws I would support:
1. If a person leaves their firearm in their vehicle, unsecured and in plain sight, and leaves their vehicle unattended and unsecured, then if a criminal breaks into the vehicle, steals the gun, then proceeds to use that gun in a crime, then the lawful owner ought to face some sort of penalty -- not necessarily criminal charges; it could be a civil infraction or an order that they undertake some sort of training to help ensure it doesn't happen again.
Note, I am in no wise suggesting that the thief would have any reduction in liability for their crimes.
2. A requisite for all public buildings which enforce a "true" gun-free zone (i.e., adequate security measures established) to provide for the storage of firearms on site, so that law-abiding citizens need not choose between essential liberty and temporary safety.
My home, my rules. I have no young kids in the home and everyone else is well trained.
When I was in college, a friend told me about there being a break in at his home when he was a pre tween. His parents were out (this would've been very early 70s or late 60s, when kids still had agency).
He hid in his parents' closet where he retrieved his father's gun, hoping he wouldn't have to use it. The intruder made his way to the room and opened the closet, and without hesitation my friend took him out with a single shot.
I live in australia where we have safe storage laws one of the main issues is that safes often have to bolted to the structure something renters often can't do.
My son got his first rifle at 6, first pistol at 7. He grew up learning how to handle guns, grew up being SAFE with firearms and it was NEVER a problem. I kept/keep several firearms handy in various places throughout my home - and just like Mr. Colion Noir said - I wanted my son to be able to access them in the unlikely event he ever needed them (when he was old enough to be left alone, i.e., 12 or so). Mr. Big Government doesn't know or understand my situation and doesn't know or understand the lengths I go/went to in training my family, including my son. Many of the people pushing these laws would be aghast at the way my son was raised - exposed to and around firearms nearly CONSTANTLY while growing up - and yet, he grew up with a healthy respect for them and is competent and safe WITH them. I couldn't be prouder of this fact. I've done my duty. Lawmakers don't know how to do it any better than I did. in fact, THEY think my family and I can't be 'trusted' to do the right thing and to implement safety, training and preparedness in responsible manner - what a surprise.
Keep government out of my home. Their law ,as the late Jeff Cooper said, is like tying an anchor onto a lifejacket.
Would these same Minnesota House representative officials that voted "yea" for the Firearm Safety Storage Bill ever lock up their fire extinguishers before they need it?? Noooooo.
My first thought was, "How are you going to enforce it?" Colion I am 100% with you on this one. This Safe storage laws are in conflict with the 4th & 14th Amendments. I keep my guns accessible at home, but secured when my friends come over with their kids. Its common sense.
I was just in Minnesota, the Twin Cities, a few days ago. I couldn't carry or have my firearm with me because there's no reciprocity with my home state's permit. The place is a dump. Won't be returning if I can keep from it.
I don’t live in Minnesota, but I unfortunately live in Commifornia. My home…My business. I have my guns unlocked, at arms reach, racked & loaded.
I had a relative of a co-worker suffer a brutal assault in his home because he had purchased a Smith&Wesson model 657 357 magnum revolver with integral key-operated action lock for his home defense weapon and he was required by his state's law to have it locked when left unattended. When he awoke to find 2 men inside his home one night, he was unable to locate his gun key in the darkened room, rendering the loaded gun useless.
So I am totally against ANY mandated "safe storage" or "action lock" requirements.... EVAH!!
I agree with Colion 100%!!! Stay outta my business if I’m not in yours!!!
I agree 100% with you. I don't have kids in my house either and keep my gun on the night stand as well when I sleep, if I had kids coming over I would then decide on the circumstances how to keep it handy and away from untrained individuals, regardless of their age.
i find it ironic how a container to hold firearms with is called a “safe” when it really does the opposite. what if some bad guy with a gun or knife tries breaking into my house and successfully gets in?
