SDShad,

if you own a gun for home defense, what earthly good does it do to have it locked away in a cabinet. Do you really believe that the moke who breaks into your house in the middle of the night is going to wait for you to find the keys, open the cabinet, get out the gun and -if you follow the recommendations of some- remove the trigger lock, go to another locked cabinet, get out the ammunition, and load the gun?
If you do, you'll be a lot safer if you run to the bathroom, lock the door, and hope he won't break it down.
If, onthe other hand, you kep your gun(s) for sporting purposes, by all means keep them locked up. It lessens the chance of them being stolen in a daylight burglary.
