Preventing my gun from being stolen and making headlines because I negligently left it unsafe is one responsibility I take very seriously. We all should.

My point was that it is ridiculous to restrict an innocent person's access to something (guns, knives, cars, gasoline, poison...) on the gounds that, left unsafe, a thief could steal it and use it in a crime.

If you read her OP, you’d see she wasn’t advocating anything as far as restrictions. Just stating how the PEOPLE carrying might find it impractical and not even bother carrying.

I'm not talking about restricting anyone's rights, and never have, on this thread. I'm talking about how citizens who choose to carry legally and in public should act.
