Just puts those shotguns within easy reach of your home assailant to turn on you.

But it is absolutely typical of the gun nut lobby, whose pricks harden at every bit of crime news. Sexy hot talk about "stopping power", calibers, weapons handling, access and firepower is sure to follow.

It's not such a good idea if you're Joe Sixpack though. Someone's just gonna lose a leg in that case.

If you have kids, you're supposed to keep the unloaded guns locked up, with the ammo separate, right? But, if someone has broken into your house, how long is it going to take you to unlock the guns and ammo and load?

I think I should just stop expecting people to logical about stuff like this.

The police love seeing firearms when they break down doors.
