I live by myself and keep my gun ready to go in my nightstand! I’m not going to sit there and run to a storage locker and fiddle with a combination lock when there’s an intruder coming to BLM-Rape me!!
My parents just came over and saw that I had it in there. They got mad and said they are reporting it to the ATF. I was like “sure you are 🙄” They said it needs to have a lock on it and be in a gun safe. They are libs and have never owned a gun, btw.
The recommendations of your parents are for household with young children in them! And it's just recommendations, not law, as your home is your castle, and no laws are Constitutional that mandate what you do in your home!
