Field Stripping Restricted Firearms for Storage

Never said that. I was wondering who could unlock their assembled guns in a reasonable amount of time.
To the US Guy, a locked handgun in Canada would take at least 60 seconds I think.

Ps. My wife signed the PAL without asking too many questions many years ago, she has since told me she wouldn’t sign it again. So she says. I’ll let you know how easy it is to renew without spousal signatures.
I think under the regulations the CFO sends her a notice by mail if she doesn’t sign. I don’t think she would lie and say she has concerns about me owning a gun. I don’t know if the CFO sends her a notice I have a gun. They send her a notice that I am applying for a PAL. Or renewing PAL.

And I thought we had it tough in the UK!

1. Teach your wife to shoot (she'll love it and probably be better than you).

2. Teach your kids to shoot (likewise).

3. Never ever allow thoughts of what some pinko liberal thinks to influence your behaviour in any way. That's how the rot starts! If they object, just whip them naked through the streets while wearing a silly hat. That'll soon silence their whining...

Yours tolerantly,

Carl

Well seems like you got some talking to do with her. And not asking the internet. Because I think its foolish you're hiding having guns in the house. And super worried about "liberals"

What you think will happen once she finds out you been lying to her for all these years? Just opens up to what else you been lying to. And She might want to hear it from your mouth. Than your children friends parents.

But again, I'll won't be the one on the receiving end of a swinging frying pan.
 
Okay thanks for all the help. I will reveal things slowly - IDPA stuff around the house, Black Rifle coffeein the morning, a PAL course for mother’s day. After all that I think she’ll get the idea.

Appreciate the help.

Carry on!

There are three reasons to do this: 1) spousal; 2) safety; and 3) social.
1. Spousal: if my wife finds out there is a gun in the house, she will not be pleased. If there are gun PARTS in the house, that's a different thing entirely. Few people/kids know how to assemble a gun. So regularly disassembling the gun resolve this issue for me.
2. Safety. Yes, I lock my gun in a safe. Yes, I lock the case. Yes, I have a trigger lock. I am more concerned that the kids would take my car for a joyride than somehow breaking through three layers of locks. However, if for some strange reason they really WANTED to break through layers... the ultimate "lock" is disassembling the gun.
3. Social. In uber liberal areas, if kids friends parents find out there is a gun in a kid's house, that may be the end of the friendship. If we say the gun is not assembled, different argument entirely.

In terms of losing small parts - what small parts?? A glock taken apart is 4 pieces. A CZ... not sure... a Sig... 4 as well?

Well if someone legally owns a firearm let them store it as they wish... as along as they are meeting the requirements for safe storage.

These things are incompatible...

Lol. Government discourages public mass shootings everywhere, except for shopping malls.
 
And as to the OP. knowing my wife - I will remove the slide and keep the rest together. It’s somewhat less “gun-like”. And maybe I might lose a bolt. Unlikely. But I know her and although she’ll be pissed she’ll be happier knowing the gun is not readily available for use.

Thanks again folks.
 
If mine are with me they are locked in my range bag as well as having a trigger lock. Guns and ammo are locked two separate containers. It works very well when confronted by either CFO, Game Wardens or Police and even company as they can not get it outa the bag or my gun safe. All my guns have trigger locks that do not come off until I am at the firing line on the range. I am X military and have always made sure any guns I handle are ALWAYS in safe mode locked and unloaded.
 
Number 1 if your gun is put away according to storage requirements, how would anyone even know you have it?

It takes but 3 seconds to insert the clip one I have the gun in my hand

Wow some helpful thoughts here. Thanks folks.

BirdCity, yes, obviously hiding the gun is *possibly* symptomatic of other issues in our marriage... maybe we're working on those... maybe not... one thing at a time though.

For most Liberal people not aware of how guns work, they would feel a lot more comfortable if a gun was taken apart and rendered basically useless. I might not want to be friends with those folks, but if kids want different friends, well, I don't wanna discourage politically diverse play groups...

Anyhow, the comments about keeping guns "useful"... has anyone ever done a practice drill, how long would it take you to get your gun ready if you heard 3 am noises?

I like the idea of getting my wife a PAL course...

Hornady Rapid Safe on bedside table....RFID unlocking mechanism. Handgun and loaded mag stored legally...2-3 seconds to wake up, Less than a second to open the safe, less than 3 seconds to load and make ready. Under 10 seconds from waking up to having a loaded gun in hand.
 
To the OP, I think the general consensus is that your reasons for storing your firearms in pieces (By your logic I assume nonrestricteds would also need to be taken apart) isn’t something most people think of.

It’s not to belittle you or say you can’t do it, it’s just that your rationale doesn’t make sense to many of us (kind of like saying you should store your car in pieces so your kids don’t take it for a joyride instead of just making sure they can’t get the keys).

Feel free to store them as you wish, and if it makes you, your wife and your friends feel safer, then that’s great.
 
If you're not honest with your wife, don't expect it in return from her. Tell her if she doesn't already know.

If you kids are a concern, train them on the safe use and handling of firearms, and bring your Mrs along too for the family event. If she becomes familiar with them it will take away a lot of the stigma she has about firearms, a lot of which stems from unfamiliarity. Things like firearms aren't a tempting mystery if the kids are granted properly supervised access to them and taken out shooting. If you're not involving your family in the sport then you're one step away from being an anti by capitulating to them. Don't capitulate, instead, grow our ranks.
 
There’s not many reasons a wife would be uneasy about her husband owning guns. I think she is doing something behind your back that she knows would make you very very angry if you found out.
 
Well,I take bolts out of the rifles and barrels ( not pinned ones ) out of my handguns and store them separately in one cabinet away from firearms. I do it not because of my wife but in case somebody breaks in my house. They would not be able to use my firearms. Locking in the safe doesn't prevent that. The robbers just can carry the safe out of the house.
