that's how adam lanza got the guns he needed to massacre a couple dozen kindergarteners.A firearm purchased for self defense should be loaded and accessible to EVERY member of the family.

Well, since you want to resort to complete stupidity to support your argument, I'll play along. The same could be said of an unpurchased gun. What you obviously leave out is that absent a useful firearm, any weapon brought to be used against you, will be. Leaving you in the position of bringing your toothbrush or pillow to a gunfight.
Maybe you can dazzle an assailant with your eloquence or maybe you're like most libs and prefer to (unsuccessfully) beg for you and your family's lives. Maybe you've got a head full of bad wiring and can't see the obvious. Maybe you should worry about yourself and get the fuck out of other people's business.
he's a diehard conservative like you are, actually.There is so much abject stupidity in this post, it deserves the liberal badge of honor.
LOL!completely fabricated and skewed statistics.
Your entire argument requires an assailant to enter your home UNARMED and need to acquire YOUR gun. It requires you to be given enough time to unlock, load...whatever, what you yourself describe as a useless firearm.I knew you were dumb but wasn`t sure.
I`m prepared for un-purchased and any weapon as best I can, I`m not prepared for what happens when my guns are ready to shoot and left for opportunity for anyone. How many times do you get to be dead dude ?
Now Timing and placement,
I know how long anyone takes to get to mine, I have them safely placed where I can access them in time as well. My ready will take a few seconds, the guy downstairs has to find and them make operational my locked and useless guns, and will take minutes to hours to gain upper edge.
Your guy will pick one up on the way to you in no time at your disadvantage, because of your placement.
Time and placement..........

Unless you live in a palace built like a maze, how long does it take for a motivated home invader to get from your front door/back door/window to where your family congregates? One to two seconds? Maybe you plan on asking them to hold on a minute while you excuse yourself to arm up?
I would argue that if your weapon isn't positioned to be used in less than a second, you might as well rely on your couch cushion as your first line of defense.
My kids have been exposed to guns and even cleaning deer. I was exposed at a young age. A pellet gun at 6-8 and I got my first gun at 10. A single shot 20 gauge. I still have it and prefer to hunt with it over my more expensive guns.Well, now you've hit the nail on the head that these other chuckleheads haven't touched on yet. Early exposure to and competent training of firearm usage and safety is key. If they can hold them and fire them with regularity, you eliminate the curiosity and ignorance that result in most accidental gun-related fatalities of children. If it holds no more mystery to them than the dishwasher, they're not going to be interested in it until it's time to use it.
Really? Here in Cali, it's an 8 hour class with no range time at all.My kids have been exposed to guns and even cleaning deer. I was exposed at a young age.

You are right. It is a requirement here to take and pass a hunters safety course before you can buy a license to hunt.
It is several day course and then a whole day at the range before they will pass you.
Mine is on me at home. There is a steel lock box bolted down that a simple wave of my hand opens it. It requires you to wear a bracket. It has biometric and combination backup.Your entire argument requires an assailant to enter your home UNARMED and need to acquire YOUR gun.

Yes. Maybe that's why I feel OK about the open carry law here. Most anyone that carries is trained. At least in safety.Really? Here in Cali, it's an 8 hour class with no range time at all.
Nope, not horseshit, liberal or otherwise. It is true that gun ownership on average makes a person less safe. You have difficulty with the truth. You are basically saying that the truth has a liberal bias. Yes, I'm laughing at you.Again. Liberal horseshit based on completely fabricated and skewed statistics.
No range time? No way.Really? Here in Cali, it's an 8 hour class with no range time at all.
No range time for hunter safety. Range required for ccw.No range time? No way.
At least Cali is a Castle Doctrine state. Kudos
Anything that is battery operated will fail eventually. Of course failure only happens when you go to use the battery powered device.Mine is on me at home. There is a steel lock box bolted down that a simple wave of my hand opens it. It requires you to wear a bracket. It has biometric and combination backup.
I can be in it and ready in a second or two.
I have motion sensor alarms. I will be ready before someone gets to me or my family.
Anyone arguing that you need a gun out needs to look at the tech out for gun safes.
There is no reason to leave one out when the proper lock box does not add time to arm yourself.
Manslaughter at the most homey. Murder requires malice aforethought.You may be alive but you're still going to be guilty of murder until proven innocent. Yeah ... scream "self defense" as loud as you can. LOL
Statistically you make yourself and others less safe when you drive your car.You carry and make yourself and those around you less safe. There is a lot of information that confirms this. That said, this issue is driven by a hysterical press and coincidentally, gun sales go up when gun control measures are discussed in the same press. I have no issue when a well trained and careful person carries but statistics say he is making himself and others less safe. Just not enough to worry about.
