I live in northern Wisconsin so I have all my guns in a glass front cabinet. I never lock the house & leave the keys in the car. I pity most people that have to live in fear.
That was normal when and where I grew up in 1950's small-town Minnesota. Still was normal when I moved to small-city Wisconsin in 1979. But stopped doing that about 20 years ago.I live in northern Wisconsin so I have all my guns in a glass front cabinet. I never lock the house & leave the keys in the car...
Todd,
Nice Barrister case and nice use of it.
When I was teaching in a small North Central Florida High School in 1984. They made a big issue of no guns on campus ( other than JROTC rifle team .22s this school still had instead of air guns) so second week of October rolls around and I am headed in from the parking lot and only two spaces from the building is a Pick up with a Browning A5 on the Dash. I walk over and there is a 870 pump muzzle first in the passenger foot well.
I did some computer work for an auctioneer out in Oberlin who used to keep a loaded S&W Model 76 on top of his bookcase.Still more.
Within reason, I won't be cowed into not enjoying them.

Todd.
Yes. I live in NW Wisconsin also, but close enough to the Cities that I lock my house, and vehicle. I also grew up in the Cities, with a cop for a Dad. SWMBO grew up on a farm just north of the town we live in, and they never locked the door, guns were in the closet, keys in all the cars. Never could get them to change it. After SWMBO lived in the Cities with me for a short while, she learned that locking the door and car are not necessarily a bad thing. It's not living in fear, it's reasonable prudence. The only part of a crime you as a potential victim can control is the probability of success. I hope you never have any problems. I do not have that much faith in humanity.I live in northern Wisconsin so I have all my guns in a glass front cabinet. I never lock the house & leave the keys in the car.
