how does it make me safe?
its has nothing to do with safety at all, but government law making that makes them look good in the eyes of the ignorant.
otherwise my .308win would require more locks and hoops then my 9mm

No. That would be stupid.
Uh, actually, no you don't - you just need adequate personal property allowance to cover them. This too, has been beaten to death. Insurance Companies (in General, there are exceptions, but I'll stick to using the rules the biggest home insurer in Canada uses) couldn't give a flying f*ck if you owned a Silkworm Missile launcher, SO LONG AS IT IS LEGAL. If your firearms are legally your private property (or borrowed from the legal owner and in your care and control), and you suffer a loss - total or partial, you are entitled to replacement of your property either in kind (firearm of like kind and quality) known as Replacement Cost (RC) or it's cash value in the condition it was in immediately prior to the loss - known as Actual Cash Value (ACV). If your firearms have special value, that would likely exceed the coverage on your personal property, when all of the rest of your property needs replacement (total loss) you should place them (or some part of them) on a schedule. A schedule can be used to reduce the deductible on specific items as well as extending coverage beyond any special or general limits that may apply. A schedule requires an appraisal. Unlike the criminal law, your insurer won't hold you responsible for the criminal actions of crack head, or even simple forgetfulness - if you lose a gun, most policies will cover that too.

I agree. It does little or nothing to make you safe, but that's what that particular regulation is directed toward. These threads always fill quickly with how to store to prevent theft. Nowhere do storage regulations mention theft.
It's a fuzzy reg made to make fuzzy-lovers feel like they're covered in fuzzy.
If any of these goofy fuzzy laws made any sense they would disallow firing your 308 in a field but allow you to fire your 9mm there.
x3.
My handguns are in a locked safe, in a locked room. No trigger locks used and loaded mags are in the safe beside the firearms.
I'll use my favorite line: Exceeding the storage regs is like driving 10 km/hr slower than the posted speed limit. It does nothing to keep you "safer".......

Frankly, in my house, leaving an Uzi loaded and cocked on the kitchen table would only be a danger to safety if my wife saw it. Even then, it wouldn't cause more than an increased sound level, but let's let the government pretend they've kept us safe from ourselves.

Fully loaded 33 round magazine inserted into a glock 18... 1 round obviously in its chamber, I keep this thing lying out in the kitchen during daylight, when I go to bed it sleeps under my pillow. That is how I roll... you can never be too safe.
I jk, my guns are always stored legally, and of course i don't own a glock 18.
