    Imo, if it was your gun, unless it was literally stolen from a locked gun safe

    I disagree, if it could be stolen from your gun safe, you didn’t secure it enough, you should still be partially at fault.

      -break into someone’s house

      -rob their gun safe at gunpoint

      -shoot them with their own weapon

      -“its their fault officer that gun wasn’t adequately secured”

        Should have shot the robber with the backup that they keep in [REDACTED]!

          No they had to stop storing them there after the Supreme Court went hard right. Something something Sodomy v Gomorrah or some damn thing. IDK the Republicans just make it up as they go, so it could be literally anything.

      As much of a fan as I am of gun control, expecting gun owners to have a safe that is literally, physically impossible to break into is wildly unreasonable

        Gun safes are particularly bad most of the time. Many of the big ones are super thin sheet metal on top of a sheetrock core. And the small ones just get stolen with the guns in them.

        It’s actually why I keep my pistol in the cash safe in my used commercial van. The safe’s surrounded by an additional steel box on all 4 sides with the door facing up and bolted into the car body the in a way that you’d have to open the safe to get to the bolts, with the other side of the bolts located so you’d have to remove the gas tank to get to it.

        The van was actually stolen once before I owned it, and the thieves never did get to the cash in the safe, so I figured it’s a more secure place for my pistol than a safe in my house.

        I’m also usually pretty close to my car, whereas I’m away from my house for long stretches.
