None of my guns are locked in a safe or have (or will have) trigger locks. If someone breaks into and enters my house and steals one to use in a crime has no comparison to leaving the car unlocked with the keys in the ignition.
The insulting lead in to this is why I declined to follow sanmo's link. He's acting like a troll now. Sorry sanmo but you should venture into the Arena and we can have an honest discussion.
Honesty is so importan!
Just ask our POTUS about the importance of honesty.
FIFY
Putting the gun in a safe renders the gun unusable for personal protection. Yes most of my guns are in a safe but a few are ready for personal protection. If we follow the same analogy with someone stealing your car for criminal use, it would be like to be responsible car owner, removing the wheels so no one could steal it.
....I suppose some or all of these reasons make me deplorable to anti-gun folks, but I'm perfectly fine with that.
Now remind me, what are the primary reasons you're against gun rights?

I have no expectations of any good outcome(s) when a crime is first committed.
Just a quick question, since we are accusing other's of being a troll, hopefully I can ask this question here without causing the thread to get locked. I am actually asking for information (not trolling) from the many sides that seem to be here.......
* I'll keep it confidential, but on many forums, PMs are visible to moderators. I'm OK with that, however you may not be.
Marty, to answer your question, I would say "B".turbojoe', Thank you for your candor.
Señor Marty, your poll is worthy of its own thread and I see that one of our illustrious members has already moved in that direction.
I can't see them, Marty and nor do I want to unless someone brings something to my attention and copies and sends it to me. There may be a way to do that on this forum but I'm not aware of it.OK, I didn't know about here, but I thought I should mention it just in case. I know that on other forums the moderators can see 'em.

When someone (say me, for example, if that helps) says that they "think the current Potus is a liar, a bumbling buffoon, a self aggrandizing nincompoop, and not worthy of the office."
Do you simply assume that said person (A) doesn't care for the current Potus, or do you also assume that they (B) really wanted Hillery or Bernie as our Potus?
I would really like to know what you actually think at your gut level about that person (Again me, if that helps) and not what logical answer you think will stand up to internet scrutiny.
So, A? or A&B? If you're not willing to answer here, I'm appreciatively taking (confidential PMs*) on this question. Thanks.

When I lived in Chicago (and I say this honestly and not because I have any pro or con feelings about the subject matter in the column originally referenced) I always thought that Mike Royko was an obnoxious drunken asshat, and he was only tolerated because he could turn a phrase. If he had quit writing his daily spiel, I doubt there were more than a handful, in a city of millions, that could put up with him as a neighbor. Half of those handful, only because Mike was frequently buying.
Pretty sure I too have been considered an obnoxious asshat on occasion in this forum and elsewhere.
Well not by me, so far, but to be honest I haven't hung my days thoughts on every word you've typed.
Still, I'd like to know your answer to my earlier question. A? or A&B.
Oh good. Then you remain in the dark about the terrible things being said about you.Oh I hear it all (unless it's in the arena), I just don't dwell on it.
Yes.Gee thanks, you've been a big help.
