Police lives matter, civilians in their own homes, not so much.

Hasn’t the courts already shot this down?

...aimed at locking up handguns when they're not in use. What if the gun is in use protecting yourself and home?
To: Navy Patriot
So retired “union buddies” would have supra rights?
Those idiots can’t shoot straight anyway and shouldn’t have a gun on duty, much less any other time...

No exemptions for anybody.
That includes the politicians and hollyweird glitterati and their body guards.

What if the gun is in use protecting yourself and home? That's the problem. Property Redistribution Technicians (burglars) would really prefer that your gun be locked up when they run into you in your home.
To: Navy Patriot
IIRC..SCOTUS ruled on that very issue a few years ago when it affirmed that the 2nd Amendment didn't just apply to “the militia”.The right to bear arms means,among other things,that firearms needn't be locked up,disassembled or disabled in the home.
To: umgud
Infringes the “keeping” part of the 2A.

To: umgud
Nope. Similar case is underway in the 9th Circuit now, but on the basis of its previous denial of an injunction, the circuit courts appear ready to uphold "must be locked, in the house" legislation.
On June 8, this year, SCOTUS denied cert. to hear ESPANOLA JACKSON, ET AL. v. CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
Thomas penned a dissent to the denial of cert, I suppose as an effort to persuade the 9th Circuit to change course.

Gun owners need to be responsible at all times. Isn’t that taught in gun safety courses? Once again the liberal busybodies want to control things from their ivory tower.
Legislating responsible behavior is never a good thing.

So if you lock the doors and windows on your house are the guns considered locked up?

What if the gun is in use protecting yourself and home? Only the Ruling Elite may have a firearm "in use protecting their home", serfs need not apply.
The LAPD will use their firearms and stellar professionalism to "protect" you serfs in incidents like fellow officer Dorner's spat with his buddies.

Attack the tool instead of the tool abuser.
Lock up guns instead of the criminals.
Didn’t Washington DC just get slapped down by the courts for the same approach?

...the circuit courts appear ready to uphold "must be locked, in the house" legislation.Affirmative, I suggest everyone train up on what to say to the jackboots, ... nothing without your lawyer, then the lawyer says that the firearm was properly secured and locked before being unlocked and retrieved by the home defender at the appearance of threat, and never left the control of the home defender afterward.
