To Keep Firearms Secure, Texas Bill Appeals to Concealed Gun Carriers’ Wallets

Good news is pending legislation to bribe gunners into protecting their precious from theft and misuse by children. Bad news is 'constitutional carry' is pending too.

Proposed legislation would give a $10 discount on concealed carry licenses if the licensee proved that they have a safe to store their guns in when not prancing around in public with a loaded firearm. Poor scared widdle babies. Stupid fuckers, er, I mean responsible gun owners.

1. Why not charge an extra $1000 if they don't have a safe?

2. That has always been my position. If they are 'responsible gun owners' I thought

they would want to be safe and keep others around them safe.

3. $10 don't mean much.

A safe might cost a few hundred. More of an incentive than the lame discount.

4. Don't know where the you're shopping but if that's the only

pistol safe you can find you don't have enough sense to have a gun in the first place. They can be had for under $30 and even less on sale.

5. I don't shop for safes.

I was thinking of the type we had at work for weapons. The size of a small refer that could hold 6 or 8 machine guns. Of course a small safe would be cheaper.

6. Do you think having guns locked in a aafe is a good thing?

Should it be a requirement for owning a gun?

7. I'd let your homeowners insurance policy make the rules.

At work we had to comply with ATF rules, thus the large secure safe.

8. In other words, you do not think legislarion should play a part in

reducing gin violence. Go back to the forum to the group that supports such a position.
