I do not believe in gun locks I believe in gun safety

now if you have tons of guns then lock em up but keep a few out fully loaded for the bad guys... bad guys will not wait for you to unlock your safe....


oh and I'm NRA certified handgun instructor don't try to argue with me on whats right whats wrong... it's a matter of personal opinion and thoughts.... if you feel better with them locked up then lock em up... personally I do not.... and 99% of the true gun buffs I know do not either....

Ive been around guns since I was a very small boy... ive taken people on this board shooting i'm very safe with my weapons... but I do not belive in locking myself out of my only protection if an intruder breaks into your house you have nanoseconds to react and protect yourself and your family....

always keep one gun ready and ready to go....

reminds me of the idiots that won't keep one in the chamber and still carry... I just laugh....



PS: I'd make a bet with you that if you knew someone was at your front door coming in with a gun you could not get to yours in time if they were in a safe....
Maybe this is the problem. All statistics show that a gun in the house is more likely to be used against you than to protect the home owner. Still some think they have so much to gain using one. Until the reality hits them. The truth is for most people on the right side of the law will think of what they lose using a gun and that hesitation is enough to seal their fate.

Those on the wrong side of the law will think of what is to be gained using a gun and that also seals the fate of the victim. But sure their will be replies telling me how bit the balls are of some. Showing clearly the truth in my previous posts.

I read recently the statistics on soldiers in a war that shoot to kill. They reckon it's a low percentage. Trained soldiers in a war attacking or defending still think twice. But some civilian in his home will never think twice, he will shoot first and think second. That in itself is a problem.

Truth is we do it the other way around.
