(37,648 posts)42. One reason is...the public has access to a police dept. But they don't have access to my house.
If they break in...well, I need to get the gun out, anyway.
Those gun cabinets don't help anything and are expensive. My brother's gun collection, among other things, was stolen while he was away. He had expensive guns in a safe that sits on teh floor. They took the whole safe! Then he had rifles in a gun cabinet. I guess the key wasn't hidden well enough. Plus...most gun cabinets have glass, I think. Maybe the rifles are locked into their positions inside the cabinet. I don't knkow.

We own guns too. We don't think enough of them to post photos on a website, or give money

You should register them and submit to a background check, and you should be required

Nothing should happen to you, and the guns should be maintained if you value them.

Nothing should happen to you. You own a couple of guns that you keep at home.
