Law enforcement is trained to secure their duty weapons (in a safe) as soon as they arrive home, especially if there are minors in the home.

If the feds have to use a battering ram to knock down your front door to get to your firearms, are they stored securely enough?
Pretty broad brush you're using.
I have no doubt many do (especially these days) but it certainly wasn't part of the academy I went through.

Even though my firearms are properly secured and we have no kids in the house, the state has no business telling me what I am allowed to do in my own home!

Its a common sense bill right?
Except who are they to tell any citizen how they must store anything in their home... Its called private property for a reason..

A few thoughts...
What is the age a minor can stay at home without a parent present?
What happens if a thug gains access to the home while the minor is home alone?
Hypothetically, is the minor - assuming the parent has responsibly trained them from an early age on the safety and responsible usage of them and specifically what to do if a thugs tries to do bad things - supposed to not have access to a firearm/ammo to protect themselves? According to this bill, (and probably existing law) it appears the state says they should not. That, in my opinion, is fvcuked up.
Wonder how the state would proceed if that scenario went down and the minor, a female, shot and killed bad guy trying to rape and kill her in her own home, even though she had "illegal" access to a gun. Basically taking away a huge ability for a capable minor to protect themselves.

One major downside I see with this bill becoming law is if you're a parent with minors in the home, you cannot keep a gun on the night stand or drawer for easy access in the event of a burglary or threat. By keeping the gun in a unlocked space it technically gives "access" to a minor.
So the law pretty much forces parents with minors in the house to keep the guns locked at all times unless kids are supervised.
Really sticky situation for when this ends up happening...What a shame.
Exactly right! Slippery slope when government can tell you how to run your household.

How does this deal with Heller? Is the argument that having children nullifies certain rights?
If I remember correctly, Maryland already has a law to secure loaded firearms in the house if there are minors present. Everytown, MDA, and other Bloomberg supported organizations have been pushing to extend this to unloaded firearms. So if you have minors in the house who have no idea how to operate a firearm or don't have the strength or physical dexterity to load a firearm, under the new legislation there would be severe penalties because, omg, an unloaded gun. So the farm family that leaves an unloaded shotgun at the door in case there's a varmint they need to deal with, would be breaking to law. The homeowner that is soaking a firearm in a cleaning solution or rust removing agent in the house while attending to other chores in the yard has broken the law if another family member lets a minor in the home.
Are we supposed to keep dangerous prescription medicines in the safe if we leave home with minors in the house? How about the car keys? How about access to knobs on the gas oven? What proportion of suicides can be linked to legally owned unloaded guns in locked homes falling into the hands of someone who wasn't supposed to handle them? How does this compare to over-the-counter medications in the home?
The big Bloomberg/Everytown/MDA lie is that they are for reasonable common sense gun control. Yet in every state they continuously push for new restrictions, even in the most restrictive states. In the less restrictive states, they'll say that they only want to lock the loaded firearms. It's their MO. The lobbyists want their paycheck.
I wonder if they're also doing away with the MD law that restricts those minors with hunter safety training less strictly.

Define access.
Is a trigger, cable or barrel lock not good enough to be stored in an nightstand drawer?

****Probably not the typical ******* to do something like that!
I see you saying this in a lot of threads.
Generally not the best thing in the world to declare you will be breaking laws. Especially if anything ends up coming up later where someone is looking for evidence to present in court.
