“There was a safe there, I don’t know why it wasn’t locked,” Fossum said. “There’s no excuse for that.”
So they are saying that the guns were improperly stored and the safe should have been locked while people were in the home.
So you must have your guns unloaded and locked up while you are home.
How can you clean your guns if you have them locked in a safe at all times? How can you have a gun for the protection of your person and your home if your guns are unloaded and locked in a safe at all time?
These laws are stupid and illogical.
We need some Canadian outlook on this.
Ping some friends.
Maybe you’re supposed to go get the cleaning kit (assuming it’s ok to leave that outside the safe), and put it on the table or bench. Then go unlock the safe long enough to get out the one gun you need and immediately relock the safe, quick as a bunny, so the gunnishness demons don’t escape. Then when you’re done cleaning that one, you can go back and check that one in and check out ONE other, and so on till done. If you have an “arsenal” (more than one gun) in your “compound”, this could take a while. [facepalm]
