    I don’t have kids. No kids ever visit my house. I don’t flaunt my gun ownership, nor do I leave them laying about. Why do I need a safe?

      You always supposed to have a safe. You’re supposed to keep it in a safe, even if you don’t think you need to.

      When people talk about irresponsible gun ownership, you’re the type of person they’re talking about. It’s people like you who just don’t care. You’re not being responsible with your weapon.

          No you’re supposed to have a safe. It’s got nothing to do with this case it’s just about gun safety in general.

              Why are you arguing with me I don’t make up the law.

              You are supposed to have a gun safe, you’re supposed to secure your weapons. It’s your choice if you don’t do it whatever your justification is is irrelevant.

      Because it’s a deadly weapon and it’s your responsibility that it is secured (not necessarily a safe). Part of responsible gun ownership.

        (not necessarily a safe).

        Um. wasn’t that kinda my question? I didn’t say they were not ‘secure’.

          My apologies for the confusion then, though my use of the word “safe” was secure. Keeping a gun hidden in a sock drawer != safe, though there are other ways to secure something.

            Sure, i can understand that. I think there are a lot of people here that think guns somehow just up and shoot people on their own. I get what you’re saying.

      Why do we need bet our lives on you not lying? Why do we have to tolerate people who leave handguns in cars and secure rifles with threats of domestic violence all so you, a special special snowflake who pinkie promises they’re responsible, don’t have to buy a safe?

          What a plot twist, a pro-gun poster who can’t look beyond themselves and what they want and see the wider problems of gun ownership.

          What would a safe change in this specific case?

          Theft. Any time you aren’t home your house turns into an unattended armory for thieves.

            So answer me this. If a ‘thief’ breaks into your LOCKED house, steals your car keys, takes your car and kills someone else in a car accident, are you liable?
