Here's where it runs off the rails for me.
The owner had secured the weapon in a keyed security cabinet. Unbeknownst to him someone had duplicated his key. The gun was, according to my reading of this event and under these circumstances, technically "stolen".
I don't agree to throwing someone in the slammer for having their gun swiped.
the key wasnt duplicated. there were two keys and the owner failed to secure the second key. whats the difference between that and leaving the safe unlocked?
if boneheads fail to secure their firearms the rest of us will lose our right to own them. just my view.
