Safe storage question

[edzz]

In the states that require safe storage of firearms would it be okay to store them in a garage laying next to a car as long as the garage door is locked?

Can't that be called your gun room?

 

[ZA_Survivalist]

The law does define a "gun room" as a storage area. If there is a lock on the door then I'd assume you met the criteria of the law.

I would be worried they would get run over by said car

Joe Biden might supply some insight toward storing potentially dangerous things next to his car.

no.

Only if the car is a corvette.

Then my house could be a gun safe. I also live in it.

Would that be a Safe House?

Spend $100-200 for a gun 'locker', the sheet metal not going to stop anyone serious but CYA so you don't go to jail for a felony when someone rolls thru your neighborhood with an RF spammer and opens your garage while you are gone and takes (I am assuming here) more then $100-200 worth of guns. Then sells them and a dude kills a guy at a 7-11 over some cash and booze.

Just my 2¢

Whats the need to bring politics into this?

to OP: if the garage door has a legitimate lock, i dont see why not. Personally though, i dont see garage doors as very secure. With the exception of shop style roll up doors.

Probably good enough except for California where their DOJ requires that firearms containers must have a locking mechanism with thee-point locking bars of at least 1/2" diameter.

But, under the heading "some pigs are more equal . . . ": the two handguns stolen from the Los Angeles home of (then mayoral candidate) Karen Bass were "secured" in a plastic Brinks document box with just single-point locking and a cheesy key lock. Her punishment for that violation (which went unmentioned in the press) was to win the mayoral election.

What's malfeasance and abuse of public office got to do with politics?


Oh wait, that's the very definition these days!

Theres no need to intentionally break community rules and guidelines.


Please leave the political vitriol on Facebook.

From what I understand, this does not fly for Oregon or WA state

I would politely explain first that my response was a light-hearted joke and was interpreted as such and appreciated by at least 6 persons who made the effort to convey that in the form of "likes" and "laughs" icons. I am sorry you did not receive it as such, but am puzzled at your confrontation.

If it helps you to understand my motivation and genuineness, the precise time at which I posted matches the precise time that the discovery of the documents in the President's garage was first reported on television (which I had on while also visiting this website). The OP's post I also took (accurately I believe) as "tongue in cheek" and in reference to events quite similar to mine.

I simply could not resist the correlation of that moment coinciding with my reading of the OP's post.

Your sensitivities Sir, I feel are misplaced, and I hope in the future you visit here with enjoyment in mind.

That's because it has to harm someone before it can be challenged and won in court. Not sure there is any constitutional muster that it can pass for the government to be able to tell you how to keep/bear/store your arms.
