I realize I'll get a bunch of guff for writing this, but just my opinion.
Me too. I can't help but comment many of you are promoting the use of trigger locks. Did it occur to you that Sarag brady wants to mandate the very same thing on her first step towards her goal? Locks today bans tomorrow. I know I'm at odds with many of the members here. But when those beady eyes show up amidst the dark of night I ain't going to mess around with a trigger lock when my livestock hang in the balance. When dealing with the predatory animals seconds mean the difference between a gunshot bear and a dead cow. I for one am not willing to take that risk. If you want to lock up your guns fine. I'll be sure to tell the burglars which houses have their guns locked up.

That's it for me in a nutshell.JimfromTrafalgar said:I don't have a problem with anyone who WANTS to keep their guns or triggers locked. I do have a problem with the government forcing anyone to do so.

In a life or death situation 2 seconds can litterally be a lifetime. Ask a cop how long it takes for an attacker to close a ten foot gap before he can draw his gun.I've never ever been in such a hurry that the extra 2 seconds it takes to unlock the trigger inconvenienced me more than the safety it provides from prying little hands.
I think you missed the point Ayres, no one was belittleing you for Choosing to lock anything up you want. It is when someone else, especially a group like Handgun Controll and Sara Brady, want to Mandate how we live our lives that it becomes a problem. Gun controll is an incremental thing one little step at a time until they have walked the whole way that is the point.Yes, proper education and parental involvement go a long way and I do advocate their use first and foremost, but you shouldn't be labeling anyone for exercising more caution than you are willing to do.
Yup me too.59Bassman said:That's it for me in a nutshell.JimfromTrafalgar said:I don't have a problem with anyone who WANTS to keep their guns or triggers locked. I do have a problem with the government forcing anyone to do so.
