  1. Suggest a nightstand safe

    what about theft? If your house is robbed of your guns and they cause injury or death, you very well may be held civilly liable or even criminally negligent for not securing your guns. How would you feel about your speed-to-draw then?

      

    From AmericanBar.org: "Several states have taken steps to protect children from tragic gun accidents. Massachusetts has the strongest law in the country, requiring guns to be stored in a locked container or disabled with a trigger lock anytime they are not in use. California, Minnesota, and the District of Columbia also passed strong laws criminalizing the act of leaving a gun where a child may access it. Five other states impose criminal liability on an adult only if a child actually gets his or her hands on the weapon because of the adult’s negligent storage of the firearm. Even more states impose liability on an adult if a child gains access to a firearm and then uses the gun to hurt someone. Statistics and research prove that these laws are effective. States that have enacted these laws substantially decreased the number of unintentional child firearm deaths."

    Tempt fate if you'd like. I'd rather avoid the whole moral morass and avoid public outcries to impose additional gun laws.

    You said theft from your home and used in a crime. Completely different than child protection acts you just quoted

    No. You're not.

    By that logic it's also your fault if someone steals your car and uses it in a robbery. Steals your bike and kills someone during the getaway. Locked is secured. You locked your front door, took keys from ignition etc. Gun shops don't even put all their guns in the safe at night. Most major chain retail gun shops don't even have a safe. No gun distribution warehouses have safes. Gun manufacturers don't use safes. That semi truck that's parked at the truck stop for the weekend loaded with guns for Monday morning delivery is not a safe.

    No, you're not negligent or liable

    If your home is locked and someone broke in and stole your gun from the kitchen table you are not negligent. It was secured by the locked door. Even as a gun store and FFL holder we are not required to have a safe. Good practice yes, required no. Your locked home counts as securing just as our locked business counts as secured.

    I will be doing some, just have to wait for range. The range I use cant be used right now thats why Ive been quiet about classes lately. Can use it again in spring. If anyone has a group wanting a class and you have a place to shoot I will glady bring the class to you for a flat rate and you can divide that fee evenly around your group or add some to make yours free for hosting.

    We've got the usual BW3 and Rosters but let me see if I can think of somplace more unique. And maybe head it up later in the year

    No chain restaurants. That was the great thing about when we were doing them regularly. It was always a one off place unique to the area. Hard to convince people to travel for what they have 5 min from home.

    There are several unique places by you in Mt Vernon, Danville, Lexington
