You're decrying the attitude that will lead to that arrest, but you're perpetuating it by blaming the gun owner. Yes, you can say it's a good idea to keep the guns always all locked up, perhaps, but you actually assigned 25% of the blame, Rick. You're giving in to the ********. I gotta call foul. Sorry.
I assigned 25% of the blame because in this day and age an adult gun owner should know better than to leave themselves open like that. Do not give the gun grabbers any more fuel. Do not leave your family open to a lawsuit. Many here are preppers but do not see the importance of being prepared by the oldest thing in the books, CYA. Do not leave yourself venerable.
The bolded part. Rick it doesn't matter what day and age it is when you are talking about a basic right. I all for rewarding dumbassery appropriately but not at the expense of basic God given rights. Pick another issue, not going there on this one.
Basic rights have nothing to do with this. There ARE people that will steal from you and there are pretty regular post on here about someone's car getting broken into and their stuff stolen, all to often including guns. Since we KNOW it can happen and we know there are plenty of people and lawyers just dying to sue us, why leave our selves open?
Look I know on this board most think their rights trump everything but common sense is far more important. If you know doing something has a pretty decent chance of biting you in the butt with no real gain, don't do it! It is pretty simple.
What if the thief breaks into my own and I engage him in a gunfight, during which I succumb to shot to the head. He then kills my girlfriend and my dogs and then takes all of the guns. How much of the responsibility lies with me? I mean, they do make ballistic helmets right?
It's a personal choice... you're saying it should be forced. You're saying it's the gun owner's fault.
"Excuse me, ma'am, but you were walking down the street wearing a mini-skirt in the worst part of town after dark. What exactly did you expect to happen? Sure, he shouldn't have raped you, but you have to admit, this is partly your fault...."

The expectation of our fellow neighbors and citizens being upstanding and not ripping others off is no reason to punish the others when they aren't. Especially when it involves a basic right being revoked which is what you are purporting. It also makes no sense having to pass a bar in order to not be blamed for the crimes of others. I don't get it.
Is it still 25% fault if I have to leave my gun in the car when I go into the courthouse? Have there been any successful cases in Oklahoma where someone sued the gun owner when after it was stolen it was used in a crime?
You forgot-- was race a factor?
