Where did I claim that I didn't have a gun safe? I have over 200 firearms, most of them very valuable, I have several gun safes. I also keep a loaded mossberg 500 above the mantle and a loaded S&W .38 special under my mattress. If I am not home the house is locked, the security system is on and the dog bites. Not all the guns get locked up, I also carry a loaded firearm in each vehicle. You will have to commit a crime to get to the unlocked guns, and when that happens I am no longer responsible for what happens.
Biometric gun safes don't let you in in mere seconds, try putting your hand on one in the dark in the middle of the night while your heart is pumping 180 BPM and the adrenaline is coursing through your veins. You ever been in extended combat? I have on several occasions. You don't always keep your cool.
I shoot approximately 30,00-40,000 rounds per year. The average police officer shoots 10,000 in a 30 year career. Who do you think is more well trained?
