Your home is secure, so that's a reasonable assumption that your guns are also secured. The criminal act of breaking into your home and stealing from you should in no way make you responsible. Someone steals your car and plows down people on a sidewalk, your not responsible. Your guns are locked in your home someone breaks in and steals them, your not responsible either... Period...I have no kids and rarely have kids in my home. If a kid breaks into my home and steals a firearm why should I have to pay the penalty for some one elses problem?

(A)(1) No person shall store or leave a firearm in a manner or location in the person's residence where the person knows or reasonably should know a minor is able to gain access to the firearm.
(2)(a) [summarized: if you keep it in a safe or tamper-resistant locked container only the gun's owner can open, you're good]
(b) This section does not apply to a person who stores or leaves a firearm in the person's residence if a minor gains access to the firearm as a result of any other person's unlawful entry into the person's residence.
I don't have a huge problem with this. I think as a gun owner its our responsibility to keep our firearms out of the hands of kids (unless supervised of course).
The little freaks in the latest Colorado school shooting obtained firearms by breaking into a lock gun storage. A little time, some tools and a lot of safes will fail. Now what, do we update the Uniform Building Code to include state approved safes?
The media said they "smashed a locked gun cabinet" but the cabinet is not described. If it looked like this locking cabinet, I wouldn't consider it to be any better than "left in the open":
Glass Door Gun Cabinet with Rope Twist - Free Delivery
(Nice looking cabinet though)

I guess it's fair if they also hold kids liable for death or damage if they take the parents car without permission, or get into the parents alcohol and cause death or damage, or their knives, or just about anything else that the parents own. So parents should lock up all of their possessions to keep the kids from causing problems.
I say go grab Kip Kinkel and every other surviving school shooter and put a bullet in the back of each one of their heads in public and on national TV, then make the statement , "This will happen to you if you if choose to shoot up a school, church, etc."
And yet, how many time has this forum applauded with a teenage girl blows some derelict away in defense of her younger sibling.
We need a law against leaving buckets laying around, leaving poisons under the sink, 2nd story windows and swimming pools. Think of the children. No wait I've got it, let make a law against stupid people. Sooner or later we're bound to find one of these laws that will work, damn it.
