This happened about 2 blocks from my home! The news said all the guns,long guns and handguns were legally owned and locked up..one has to wonder if they were legally locked up how did the b&e dorks get them....all my firearms are in a safe which in turn is bolted to the floor so anyone would have to spend hours trying to get it open...just saying.

A stack on cabinet is legaly locked.. a trigger lock in your cupboard is legally "locked up" (non restricted) what's your point?

I was specifically referring to the handguns that were stolen.....handguns need to be trigger locked and in a locked cabinet....that's my point...have to wonder how well secured they were?

Those Mickey Mouse Stackon cabinets take about 5 minutes to peel open. They won't prevent a thief from getting at your guns.

Very few cabinets will stop a thief, they just slow them down. Even some of the vaults are not very good for keeping people out.

safes you can buy in department stores can be opened in a few minutes with the proper tools. and if you were able to haul it in with a buddy, they will just as easily carry it out. screwing it in with drywall anchors or into a stud won't hinder anyone who knows what they do.
another reason why I think the current requirements for storing firearms are sufficient: they prevent your children from playing around and deter the pickpockets

Safe storage regs was never about preventing theft of firearms. It was about preventing access by those who shouldn't for whatever reason.

Exactly
I still think the best security is to have your gun cabinet in plain view with a sporterized enfield, old Lakefield 12ga pump, cooey 22 single shot and maybe a single break action.
Then you should have a false wall with your gun safe buried in there. People will break in and steal all of your guns but only the ones they can find.
