Hey everyone,
So I apologize if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything on this product through searches. I also apologize because I cannot seem to remember the name of this product.
There is a product for sale at one of my local shops. What this product is, is basically a box the size of a medium sized book. It fastens to the wall (I am assuming one would fasten it to structural members rather than wall finishes) and has a punch code lock on it. When you open it, you can put a shotgun in it and lock it. What this device does is covers the action, prevents you from cocking it, and covers the trigger. The rest of the shotgun is visible/out in the open.
The idea being, that in the unfortunate circumstance you need to use one in short order for self-defense, you can just run over to your wall punch in the code and bam, you're in business.
What I am wondering, is in this hypothetical situation where you have one of these products, and have to use your shotgun in self-defense, how would this product be viewed by law enforcement, with our oh so reasonable self defense laws
? (just for matter of fact, I am not talking keeping a loaded shotgun in this 'locker', let us assume you have stored your ammo separately but available to you should you need it).
As much as I like the idea of this product, and have contemplated purchasing one or more, it seems to me that you would just be inviting possible trouble for yourself. Would you be accused after the fact of owning one because you felt you would need to use it at some point? (having it for the sake of keeping a readily available weapon at hand, which we know the police do not like)
I suppose maybe there is a difference in whether you say bought one, and kept it in your entrance closet, as opposed to owning one or more and 'displaying your firearms' with them.
What does everyone think?
