**** Safes!
Just carry them.
I do! I carry all one gun I own 24/7.
Not funny at all, pokey maybe. I have most in a steel locker. Locks are made to keep honest people honest.
I have a carbine ready to go and access to my sidearm 24/7
As I understand it the inside of my house is my domain and no one is allowed to take my stuff. That should be enough.
As with anything (just about), when we do not act responsibly on our own accord, there are those that are willing to try and force us to do it. There are those (as the OP demonstrates) “on our side” willing to help them.
As long as you make sure they don't, it's plenty enough.
If one of your's brings one of your's to school, then who is accountable?

Absolutely.
Yes, that is (at least in Indiana, for right now), and should be, the state of the law (generally; there's almost always exceptions).
Many of us adopt additional measures to secure our valuables, especially our dangerous valuables, from those who shouldn't have them. Like kids. Or anyone I don't want to have my stuff.
As I indicated, upthread, there are criminal and civil laws in place to address those who intentionally or knowingly or recklessly or, in some cases, negligently let these dangerous valuables get into the wrong hands.
We have to keep encouraging our elected officials to resist the urge to "do something!" when something bad happens. Too often, one bad event creates the legislative fix. A couple of sessions ago the general assembly passed a law mandating helmet use for those under eighteen when operating ATVs, all because of one tragic accident. It happens.
I think he means the cops.
You know how those ****ing donut eaten gun grabbing cops will do anything to disarm us.......... just to steal our wallets.
Pigs!
huh? Denny is from an esteemed consolidated city/county PD; remember, it is the ISP guys who steal the wallets! You gotta keep your gun grabbin' and wallet stealin' departments apart!
ETA: Now that I'm retired, my quota for stolen wallets is way down. You know Troopers have quotas, right?
Did somebody say wallet?
You are not alone in your thinking, I was raised like this and raised my two like this, it's about anger management not putting the tools up.
Also, it's a hard no from me, goes against all the cold dead hands philosophy that I'm all about. OP, I believe the thing you need to understand is that the govt is never the answer, and more rules and regs are never the answer.
When I got the original posting my first thought was this was an attempt as misdirection. I still feel that way. Not sure what the original posting was suppose to inspire in the discussion? Truly, this reads strange.
Re-read the original post.
The originator of this post certainly sounds like someone working for the LEFT. Pass a gun law requiring ALL gun owners to own a safe or otherwise, take their firearms. Even gun owners support requiring gun safes. Um yeah, NO we don't.

Many gun owners SUGGEST using gun safes. That is the reality. Freedom requires choice. If you dont have a choice you are not free.
One thing to suggest using gun safe, another thing to mandate. Reality is best served by the one that believe what they believe is reality. Show me the data. Freedom is freedom. Choice is a privilege of freedom not the cause of it.
No thanks, I got a headache the first time.
And it's got a good amount of Elmer Fuddism. Think he'll come back to this thread?
IIRC, Adam Lanza got his gun from his mother's safe.
You might be surprised how many gun owners think that what they think is a good idea is worth making a law to force everyone else to follow their advice (not to mention the opposite view as well).
But if you can't count, how do you know you only have two?? Could be 5, could be a dozen
