https://www.seattlepi.com/local/politics/article/Gun-Lock-Boxes-Seattle-Requirement-12771039.php
Basically, if you're not carrying or transporting your gun, it needs to be in a lock box. |

Date: March 21st, 2018 7:12 PM Author: Electric Cordovan Wrinkle Obviously it can't be universally enforced, but it's not "unenforceable." For example, if a kid or family member gets ahold of someone else's gun and does something stupid with it, this would provide a basis for punishing the gun owner who didn't keep it locked away.

|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:24 PM Author: Electric Cordovan Wrinkle So...that seems like something that would apply to any gun regulation at all. Is that your take on it? No regulation whatsoever because it burdens a constitutional right?
I'm not a gunmo, but the burden seems pretty minimal, and it seems like there's a pretty compelling interest it is serving. |
|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:26 PM Author: Saffron misanthropic piazza No, the right to keep a firearm in your own home for self defense, many other regulations don't impact this. It's where the gun owners interest is the absolute highest (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3924985&forum_id=2#35656148) |
|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:28 PM Author: Electric Cordovan Wrinkle Still seems like a pretty minimal burden to me (and good practice aside from any legal considerations).
I mean, it may very well be common law negligence to leave a gun generally accessible to others, aside from any statute. |
|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:39 PM Author: Saffron misanthropic piazza Yep, which has us covered I have no children, I love alone, to steal my gun someone would have to break down a door. Why should I have to reduce my odds of accessing the gun if I am in danger? |
|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:43 PM Author: Electric Cordovan Wrinkle I'd be open to a law limited to people in shared living circumstances, but that doesn't help with the issue of stolen guns. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3924985&forum_id=2#35656310) |

Date: March 21st, 2018 7:13 PM Author: Electric Cordovan Wrinkle Not sure if there is anything statewide preventing this one, but setting that aside, do XO gunmos have a problem with this (a) as a law, or (b) as a matter of good practice?

|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:16 PM Author: Bonkers Spruce Gaping Sanctuary forcing you to keep it locked up inside your house makes it harder to use in self defense. I can't think of any other consumer law that requires specific storage of a product inside the home.
I have to buy my oxy in a child proof container, but there is no law against me leaving it in a ziploc bag on the table if that is more convenient. |

Date: March 21st, 2018 7:22 PM Author: Electric Cordovan Wrinkle How much harder is it to access/use though? Is the 2 seconds it takes to punch in a code really a good basis for objecting?
I get the general resistance to gun regulation on an empirical slippery slope basis, but this seems pretty sensible to me. |

|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:33 PM Author: Electric Cordovan Wrinkle Who knows? Every situation will be different, of course. But in addition to the very low odds that a gun will actually be used in home-defense, I think the odds that getting it out of a lockbox will make a difference are probably even lower. It seems to me that the odds of someone else accessing the gun without permission are much higher.
I could see limiting the lockbox rule to people who live in shared living spaces or something. |
|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:40 PM Author: Saffron misanthropic piazza They aren't, a few hundred cases of this happening per year pale in comparison to defensive uses.

Durkan knows she needs to appeal to the Seattle lib crazies, but I think she's got at least *some* sense. |
|
Date: March 21st, 2018 7:37 PM Author: deep house Thoughts:
1 - That's probably unconstitutional.
2 - Current SCOTUS has no interest in revisiting gun cases, and the 9th Circuit isn't gun friendly, so Seattle would almost certainly get away with it. |

Date: March 23rd, 2018 5:37 PM Author: razzmatazz hairy legs step-uncle's house Some Seattle officers are criticizing Mayor Durkan's gun violence plan. They argue the city isn't doing enough to punish criminals.
Seattle Mayor Jenny Durkan unveiled a plan to tackle Seattle’s gun violence that doesn’t at all address Seattle’s gun violence.
How Seattle is using ERPO laws
Instead, it aims to punish people who don’t properly store guns, which is hardly a problem in Seattle. Indeed, gang violence and dangerous armed home invasions are an issue, but Durkan is too busy ignoring those issues.
I’m not the only one pointing out the ridiculous plan. Seattle police officers are as well. I’ve talked to a few who are wondering why Durkan’s priorities don’t include the leading cause of criminal gun violence.
One cop gave me permission to quote them, though anonymously out of fear of retribution.
“I’m not worried about ‘Joe Citizen’ and his collection of guns,” the officer explained to me. “I would like them to lock them up when they leave, in case their house or car gets broken into. But as for curbing gun violence, it’s an absolute joke. I don’t know how that’s actually going to change the people actually out there committing the crimes.”
Indeed, there has been a string of dangerous home invasions where people have been held hostage. One officer said he is frustrated by having to keep arresting the same people over and over again.
“It would be awesome if they came up with extremely heavy jail or prison time for anybody out there illegally with a gun,” the Seattle officer explained. “[We need] a city prosecutor that actually will charge the CPL (concealed pistol license) violators, or will get tough on violent crime, instead of not even a slap on the wrist and out they go to commit more crime, months or a year before their trial dates.”
Why the crime report is a work of fiction
The officer expresses a concern I’ve heard from quite a few cops: Seattle City Attorney Pete Holmes, and others, will be light on some offenders, pushing them through restorative justice programs. But these officers argue, they don’t always work and, instead, these criminals re-offend.
Missing from Durkan’s plan? Any meaningful ways to be tougher on the crime that’s running too rampant in our communities. Perhaps if she spoke to more cops, her plan might better address the actual problems Seattle is facing. |
