Are Your Firearms Protected Adequately At Home?
Part One

• For those of us who own guns, keeping them safely
  in our homes should be a priority, and we should
  always be able to control who has access to them,
  and who doesnt. Home intruders are perhaps the
  most likely individuals that would seek out,
  steal and use your guns, but in fact anyone who
  enters your home may be able to get their hands
  on them if theyre not kept secure, and this
  could have tragic consequences.
• The safe keeping of guns
• While a glass fronted, locked cabinet may provide
  adequate protection from kids, it may not be
  enough to deter an intruder or thief, who will
  not think twice about breaking the glass to get
  to the weapons stored inside.

• However, even the most secure of locks are not
  infallible, and just because a burglar wont have
  the time to try hundreds of different
  combinations, doesnt mean that your kids or
  regular visitors to your home wont have,
  especially when theyre home alone.
• Protecting your rights to own a firearm
• While anti-gun groups will argue that firearms
  are dangerous no matter whose hands theyre in,
  and often exploit tragedies and accidents
  involving guns to support their message, if you
  are holding the right permits to own your gun,
  then there is little anyone can do to take it, or
  them, from you.

• However, if you are worried about anti-gun
  lobbyists, the best way to protect your 2nd
  amendment rights to own a firearm, is to make
  sure that you can demonstrate responsible gun
  ownership by locking them up securely within your
  home.
• Criminal liability for gun negligence
• 25 states across the country require guns to be
  locked up where children cant gain access to
  them, and while such laws are not a federal
  requirement, failure to prevent children from
  being able to reach firearms in the home, may be
  punishable under the terms of negligent storage,
  regardless of whether a child has reached the
  weapons or used them to cause injury.

• If youre a gun owner, check your local laws to
  ensure that you dont incur any costly penalties
  for unsafe storage. Even if you dont have
  children in your home, you may of course receive
  young visitors or guests at any given time.
• Laws surrounding the locking of firearms
• As previously mentioned, the laws surrounding the
  safe keeping of guns are strict and can be put
  into force even if there are no children in the
  home. Some of the laws require that guns should
  be locked up as soon as they reach your home from
  the store, and in an adequate place with a touch
  lock that should be child-proof at the very least.

• In California, the law even requires that the
  safe in which the guns are stored in must meet
  the regulatory standards for it to be considered
  a California Department of Justice-approved
  firearms safety device.
• Whether you own 1 gun or 6, keeping them locked
  up is essential not just for your safety, but the
  safety of anyone who enters your home, and
  provided you check your local laws to ensure that
  your firearms are stored correctly, nobody can
  take away your right to own them.
• California even has gun safe regulatory standards
  which must be met for the safe to be considered a
  California Department of Justice-approved
  firearms safety device. Check your local laws.
