In light of a recent thread here I got to wondering how many of you that own Smiths with the lock actually use them?
I also have a box filled with locks that came with guns, a few of the Ruger-supplied long-hasp padlocks I use to thread through cables used to tie up motorcycles overnight at races.
My guns get stored in the safe, my one ready-gun is locked in my room.
Plaintiff: "I just wanted to look at it and didn't think it would go off and now I'm entitled to all the manufacturers money."The whole idea of an internal lock on a gun is stupid though, there’s no arguing that
I had about 100 of those left over, same thing. All were free but no one ever wanted one.Beyond a couple of "Oh, that's how it works" I've never used one. Even that wore off after the first couple of times. Never used any kind of "gun lock" either. I've probably got a couple dozen at least floating around here somewhere.
I remember some years ago, the county had boxes of gun locks (cable type) around the courthouse complex. Take as many as you want, no charge. They couldn't give those things away.
Plaintiff: "I just wanted to look at it and didn't think it would go off and now I'm entitled to all the manufacturers money."
Defendant: "The revolver in question incorporates an internal lock which the owner elected not to use."
