Yes, i have heard such stories over the years of people getting robbed, and oh, guess what got stollen, yep my gun. Could'nt agree more, if you are gonna have guns be prepared to take on the true responsibility... lock em up.
My truck was stolen in 2011. An 8000# Superduty. Am I responsible if the illegals that stole it get drunk and drive as they are wont to do and cause someone's death?
Ok, another note: Even if you have a gun locked with a cable lock in your house, I dont think thats good enough. A criminal or other person can still take your gun cut the lock off and now they have a gun. You must protect it when not within your care or on your person in a secured safe. In my opinion, I dont see responsible gun ownership any other way.
Ok you want to protect your house at night with your gun, fine take it with you to bed. You get up in the morning and discover everything is ok, now lock that bad boy up or put it in your holster and take it with you.
We all have different ideas about what's responsible and acceptable. I think every parent who sends his child to the government schools (guys, don't make this that argument; it's just for illustrative purposes) is abdicated his parental responsibility and utilizing another form of welfare. Using the government for a babysitter! How much more irresponsible can one be!
And im sure this will touch a nerve too, but do you really need a gun everywhere in your house? That's paranoia to me. I dont know what the statistic would be, but I would be willing to bet you are more likely to have an accidental shooting or theft that way.
If that's your logic, then you must have a lot of computers/tablets because you just shot your mouth off!
