“54 percent of gun owners do not store all their guns locked away in a secure manner,” said Daniel Webster, Johns Hopkins Center for Gun Policy & Research Director.
The survey defines safe storage as a locked gun safe, cabinet, or case.
Webster, the study’s co-author, says self-defense is one reason why many owners don’t follow safe storage protocol.
“They want to be able to easily access a loaded gun that they can fire rather quickly,” he said. |

And, what qualifies "public health experts" to opine on this subject, as opposed to, say, firearms and security experts?
It seems to me that they should stay within their bailiwick and keep their mouths shut about other disciplines. |

TO REMEMBER |
| By calling attention to a well-regulated militia for the security of the Nation, and the right of each citizen to keep and bear arms, our Founding Fathers recognized the essentially civilian nature of our economy. Although it is extremely unlikely that the fears of governmental tyranny, which gave rise to the second amendment, will ever be a major danger to our Nation, the amendment still remains an important declaration of our basic military-civilian relationships, in which every citizen must be ready to participate in the defense of the country. For that reason I believe the second amendment will always be important. --JOHN F. KENNEDY |
